In my opinion, here are the "whitest" nations in the Middle East outside of Anatolian Turkey in no order. This does NOT mean that everyone is what we call "white"; most are not. "White skin" is largely a Northern European phenomenon, but it is not rare in the Middle East. Here are my picks. We will exclude Cypriots, Turks and Dodecanese Greeks for obvious reasons. Rankings are NOT from "most to least" by the way.

1. Kurds/Kurdistan: Even stereotypically, "whiteness" in the Middle East is assumed to be Kurdish until stated otherwise. Isn't that right @kurd

Kurdish women in particular are known for "whiteness" and many look Eastern European.


2. Lebanese. Lebanon is amongst the "whitest" of Middle Eastern countries. Light skin, blonde hair and blue eyes are not rare.

3. Syria. Come on. The most famous Syrian in the world looks German. 🤣 But seriously, although a minority, "whiteness" in Syria is often noted. It is actually whiter than Lebanon.

4. Azerbaijan. Should this count since we're excluding Turkey? Oh well. Azeri Turks are not as "white" as Anatolian Turks but are amongst the "whitest' in the Middle East.

5. Palestine/Palestinians

1000050130


"Shitskin/Sandnigger" Palestinian.

1000050131

'Muh Aryan/White" Ashkenazi Jew

🤣🤣🤣

But seriously, Palestinians are ironically the darkest and "whitest" Levantine population. Not even in Cyprus do you see such variance in skin colours.

So yeah, this is just my opinion. Disagree if you'd like.

you accidentally proved my point from another thread that "Palestinians" can also look "white" and that not all Jews are "Eastern European fake Jews"
