I love those pics but its deepy biased and ignorant, thers no balance so this thread is a serious concern, its on the borderline of being racist. i mean the dark skinned dark eyed people have been totaly ignored..are they not pashtun just because they dont have blonde hair?? wake up and stop fooling yourselfs. do you look down on them or something?? are they not worthy of a space on a massive picture archive?? are you ashamed of them even though pashtuns are asian you upload the european looking ones..astaghfirullah. any white person that has visited pashtun areas is probly looking at this thread and laughing thinking "wannabes".. besides to whos definition is having light skin and light eyes automatically mean beautiful??? naive,cringing and shameful people you are!
P.S. a hell of alot of those people in those pictures are not even from afghanistan, thers alot people from Pakistan (pakhtunkhwa)Last edited by Manzareh; 01-18-2011, 09:13 AM.----------

i didn't make the original post, i just copied it over. you also forgot that 60% of afghanistan is non pashtun, the thread says 'faces of afghanistan' not 'faces of kandahar'. afghans are an incredibly diverse people physically, there's nothing racist about embracing that.Originally posted by Manzareh View PostThis thread is a serious concern, its on the borderline of being racist. i mean the dark skinned dark eyed people have been totaly ignored..are they not pashtun just because they dont have blonde hair?? wake up and stop fooling yourselfs. do you look down on them or something?? are they not worthy of a space on a massive picture archive?? are you ashamed of them even though pashtuns are asian you upload the european looking ones..astaghfirullah. any white person that has visited pashtun areas is probly looking at this thread and laughing thinking "wannabes".. besides to whos definition is having light skin and light eyes automatically mean beautiful??? naive,cringing and shameful people you are!

sometimes dark skin looks lighter in photos. i'm a whitey who has been to herat and kandahar and i don't think anything except that the photos are great.
the girl in the first photo is famous. that photo appeared on the front cover of 'national geographic' 30 or 40 years ago and a few years back someone traced her and there was an article and photos, again in national geo.

Light or dark skin everyone is equal. nobody is more beautiful because they look more european.
Yea that girl is Sherbat Gula and that picture was taken in Peshawar, its a famous one.
I agree the Photos are great but not a true representation of the majority, since youve been to kandahar and herat youd probly say the same.----------

even though many are in love with blue eyes and lighter skin still i guess majority is brown eyes ,brown hair,black eyes and black hair.
i have orange eye colour and redish black hair.

light features are not mutually exclusive with being european and herat/kandahar are not a representation of the majority, especially when it's a country with 30 million people from over a dozen different ethnic groups.Originally posted by Manzareh View PostLight or dark skin everyone is equal. nobody is more beautiful because they look more european.

to be honest manzareh, i didn't see many women's faces and i don't remember that the people were darker skinned. it is a long time ago, 1977. before the russian invasion. i didn't go to kabul.
an indian friend and i had a photo taken together and he was really dark but in the photo he came out looking nearly as light as me.
