As a concentrated group? Yeah. There are some families outside of ossetia who might have more but they aren't concentrated.
dude genuinely zohran mamdanis comment section were genuine all full of persians and other races tryna claim himIf you’re white-passing, everyone’s dying to claim you. I saw a white-passing South Asian and in the comments people were glazing them hard. “I thought you were Persian!” “I thought you were Chechen like me!” “I thought you were Levantine like me!” Etc, etc. Ain’t nobody claiming if someone’s a shitskin like me.
Ossetians are genetically Iranian, they look nothing like georgians jfl, georgians have bug eyes in their phenotype ossetians don't. Matter of fact ossetian language shouldn't even be considered linguistically the same as the language spoken in southern Iran which is basically arabic with some loanwords
This sounds like an albanian wrote it, the only white balkans are serbs, slovenes and some croats the rest look brown as hellbalkans are not more brown than arabs brah
I hate it when non-whites do that. Normally they’re quick to shit on South Asians in general. Who knows though, he might have actual MENA ancestry because some Islamic Indians do have such ancestry.
I just googled and this is what it says:
Iranians barely have Arab dna, that's a common misconception
I think it's just people find it impossible to look past a certain stereotype of how people look
They aren't, their maternal line is the same as iranians and their paternal line is shared by northern iranians
White passing like me ( jury is still hung on whether kavkazi and circassians are white ) always have to convince people we aren't russian or something. I tell people where I'm from and they assume I am some dumbass fucking American claiming their italian lineage from 15 mothers ago. I always get some turk trying to claim me tooIf you’re white-passing, everyone’s dying to claim you.

True, Iranians don’t have Arab DNA but there are Iranian Arabs, they’re bordering Iraq.
Yes, there’s a lot of ignorance on phenotypes in general.
If what your saying is true ( I researched the topic heavily years ago so new evidence might have popped up ) then I agree with him more lol.
What do you look like? When you said Kavkaz, I thought of Central Asians and I imagined a Turkic look (narrow eyes, for example). But you get mistaken for being Russian or something?
no mtDNA shows proof of there migration from Iran however they're still genetically closer to causcas groups
Iranians have always been brown
They mixed with the Zagrosians, Elamites..
and I googled this
Yeah I've seen some Ossetians saying "you're shitskin mudslimes we are the real Persian Aryans come save us from Daddy Putin so we can claim our throne back" or something along the lines of that
"iranians barely have arab dna" jfl take any shit skin iranian from the south and they have plenty of arab dna, hell they probably even speak arabic-iranian dialect
They are retarded lol, the only thing which stopped us from becoming brown like them was russia and putin
this actually isn't true the ossetians are not closer to the original iranian or aryan groups due to interviewing with causcas groups
my pfp is my great grandfather for reference (shitty old photo but he had like russian coffee colored hair we call it rusiy and blue eyes). I don't really look "turkic" except for I guess highset wide cheekbones? but thats a very generic trait. Circassians were never really mixed with turkic tribes especially the ones who remained in the Caucasus
send through
That's the Arab minority tho? The average Iranian has like less than 10% Arab dna, which is quite low for bordering the Arab world. The myth of the Arab invasion replacing the white Iranians is, well just a myth.
Yeah some tajiks also are very close, they look similar to ossetians now though
I have red haired relatives from Turkey, are they Circassian? I don't know anything about them tbh
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
I don't know much about my families' history. But yes I do have relatives from Gilan, Tehran but also Isfahan.
Hmm maybe, your king Ismail I famously had red hair and so did lenin who was of russo-turkic origin so your relatives could be of some turkic/iranic descent in Caucasus and Central Asia ( would track with your northern iranian descent )
These relatives are from the most northern central part of Turkey
Ahhh they could very well be circassian then! Easiest way to tell is where they originally came from before turkiye and the dates. Bone structure can help a lot too, Circassians are generally taller than other people in the region, have broad shoulders, barrel chests and skinny waists (28-34 in) skulls are generally on the taller side and noses generally are quite projected ( not necessarily in an ugly jew way but can be ) easiest indicators tbh are things like barrel chest and height
Genetic evidence concerning the origins of South and North Ossetians - PubMed
Ossetians are a unique group in the Caucasus, in that they are the only ethnic group found on both the north and south slopes of the Caucasus, and moreover they speak an Indo-European language in contrast to their Caucasian-speaking neighbours. We analyzed mtDNA HV1 sequences, Y chromosome...

Some relatives exceeded 200cm, though my grandfather was like 5'9. I know there was some Balkan ancestry as well, they can get quite tall as well.
Wow 200cm is crazy! I myself am 191cm but I know my great grandfather and grandfather was at least 6ft which was crazy for the time period, even 5'9 was crazy for the time period and region probably like 6ft 1-2 in europe now.
yes mtDNA basically shows initial migration like I explained in another post
