Plenty of those types of pictures are just generic photos of Afghans with no reference to their ethnic origin, there's also dozens of cases where pictures of ethnic Tajiks or Nuristanis have been labelled as Pashtun on the internet.

finally .....I knew that my dad's village weren't just some strange analogy of brown skinned, dark haired Pashtuns.
Over zealous western photographers are usually to blame for the disproportionate amount of photos on the internet of 'white' looking Afghans, many westerners seem to be amazed by the very concept. I didn't think it was that big a deal until i started doing a little research on anthropology last year, here in Australia Afghans are known for their diverse looks because of our large Hazara and Tajik populations.

i have tons of pictures of my family members and most have blue greenish eyes but and some light brown.

Anecdotal at best, i can say the same thing about my own family but i know it's not the case for the majority of Afghans regardless of ethnic background. There was nothing ignorant about my statement, it's just common sense.
