This is how I'd say each group is. I excluded groups like afrikaners, Latin American white elites etc who are just European populations that got displaced recently. They don't count.
1. Ashkenazi Jews
Central & Eastern Europe historically but they genetically a mix of Levantine + Southern European + minor Eastern European. Majority of them pass as whites. My boss is a ashkenazi and it is impossible to tell he is one. Legit looks like a British/Scottish oldcel. Blue eyes, pale af skin and aryan features. 90+% pass as whites
2.Lebanese/Syrian Christians (especially Maronites)
Most of them have light eyes, light skin and almost fully white passing due to centuries of Crusader era admixture with isolation in mountain villages and proximity to the Mediterranean. In most countries outside of Europe they read as completely white because of them being christian and their phenotype. In countries like Australia and the U.S., they're almost always perceived as simply white. I would say 75% of them are white
3. Christian Palestinians & Christian Jordanians
Similar phenotype distribution to Lebanese Christians. Many families are extremely light-skinned but with a little more diluted genetic admixture but still blend seamlessly into white populations abroad. Another ethnic group that is technically middle eastern but still reads as white to majority of people outside of Europe. 70% pass as white
4. Georgians ( especially western Georgians)
One of the lightest-skinned groups in the Caucasus and the entire region in general. Lots of them have blond/red hair and blue/green eyes at rates comparable to parts of Northern Europe. Doesn't read as white unlike the groups I mentioned before but still considered white adjacent and can easily larp as white anywhere. Like 50-60% pass as whites
5. Turkish Cypriots/Balkan Turks and NW Turks
Heavy Balkan, Greek, and Slavic admixture due to the centuries of Ottoman conquests. Many regions have a decent percentage are blond/blue eyed and indistinguishable from Greeks or South Slavs but Turks are coin flip imo They either have a textbook antalonian phenotype and look MENA or look southern European. I'd say like 40% of Turks look white if you isolate people from these regions
Honorable mentions
Levantine Arabs( 30% pass as white)
Crimean Tartars(15% pass as white)
Aryan Nafri tribes in North Africa( 10% pass as white)
Iranian minorities( 5-10% pass as white)
Castizos especially from Argentina (5-10% pass as white)
Afghan Pashtuns/Nuristhanis (5% pass as white)
