It's the Mexican effect.

Whites have dominated most international power structures for the past 300 years or so, if not longer (exact details will depend on where exactly you live). People instinctively associate white skin and European features with power, because most of the actual Europeans they've come in contact with are powerful people coming over to lord over them in some fashion or another.

People among their own population who look closer to that European mold are unconsciously associated with leadership and traits that are associated with leadership. This makes it easier for them to take power.

It's because they descend from haram whores. Or they descend from the various whitish people's that ruled over them, primarily the Turkics (not turkroaches) who had Scythian blood in them. Also during the ottoman era there could have been converted Europeans that ruled parts of the middle-East as viziers and mayors etc... and modern-day MENA elite descend from them.

Actually it's the other way around, historically the muslim Arab warlords came from the Arabian peninsula and those were complete shitskins who ruled over the conquered lighter skinned population of the Levant.

Since you poster Assad, Alawites in particular were poor as fuck and marginalized until very very recently.

If you can't figure out why people who are rich have fairer skin than peasant who work in the sun all day you need to consider suicide

Middle Easterners aren't that dark skinned honestly. I had an Iranian friend who people consistently though was white.
The reason terrorists look much darker than the average in photos and such is because they're in the desert pretty much 24/7

>>1476499
Does that mean blacks will eventually become whiter since they never work and only leech off welfare these days?

>>1476517
It really depends

I have an iranian roommate who's pretty brown. I have no idea of his family background though, just that he's from Iran

>>1476496
Dude, you lost

What about Ali Sombolay? He's Iranian and he looks Indian kek

>>1476527

Facial features play a part. Iranians can't really pass as white unless they have light eyes and light hair. Their facial features give it away otherwise.

>>1476387
Middle Eastern rulers have their pictures taken with good lighting, professional make-up, and high quality cameras, and that's on top of being born and bred social elites of their society who don't do manual labor outside.

Get your picture taken by a professional in a studio with proper equipment and set-up, then take a selfie with your phone outside at a random time of day. The latter picture will come out looking darker.

desu a lot of rulers have hereditary lines going way back so they are of better stock than the proles

especially the royals.

Muhammad was a pale ginger man, and white people used to be the majority all across the Mediterranean coastline

North Africans, especially Tunisians can be pretty white

There are plenty of literal, unmixed, out-in-the-sun-all-day niggers from nigger Africa with Ovaltine-colored skin, though. Not all Africans look like they're from Argentina.

I'm guessing the more you go south the more mixed they are with sub saharans. For example the man in my picture is a musician from Niger (Mdou Moctar) but he is a Tuareg which are considered Berbers, yet he does have clear characteristics of Africans.

>>1476429
Arabs stoped ruling anything that isn't the city of Baghdad pretty soon though (historically speaking).

It depends. I have met more than one iranian and it's a total lotery. It's not even like in the USA where the ethnicity is easily detected by looks more often than not. I've met azeris that could pass as russians and azeris that could pass as pakis.

>>1476579
True, the same happens on the other direction. I'm a southern european with dark hair and eyes, but nobody in Iran mistook me for iranian.

>>1477683

She's a Kalash from Pakistan

They are descended from the original Indo-Iranians to a higher degree than other Pakis

>>1477729
This. Syrians and Lebanese are light skinned. A lot of Saudis are light skinned. Berbers are light skinned

What makes a country arab isn't their ethnicity since Arabs are a multitude of ethnicities

>>1477729
a lot of them are though senpai, though to be fair there's also plenty of light skinned ones. maybe the ones we tend to see are north african?

This is Pope Tawadros II, the current Coptic pope. He's what Egyptians, both modern and ancient, generally look like. On the other hand, he IS a Copt, so he may have some ancient Greek blood in him.

On the other hand, this dude here is Hailemariam Desalegn. He's the current Prime Minister of Ethiopia. He's clearly not only darker than the Egyptian (and not due to tanning), and has differing facial features.

And finally, these are Mizrahi Jews. They're dark, but are closer to Tawadros II than Haielmariam Desalegn.

The lesson? Afro-Asiatics are hugely diverse owing to thousands of years of migrations and interbreeding of various groups, one of which is, yes, the Indo-Europeans.

>>1476415 #

their looks are actually indigenous to the area

>>1477767 #

the lighter skinned european looking people in the levant are indigenous to places like israel and lebanon, and the syrian coast. These places were originallly forested and thats where their ancestors evolved. But over time lots of people have moved around so people from the deserts migrated to the coastal areas. They are the ancestors of the darker skinned people

Can't be bothered to sift through this godawful thread so maybe someone already posted this, but could it simply just be that they don't get as much sun because of their job? It's not like their actual facial features go Euro, they're just light skinned.
