I think of Pashtun similar to how I think of Greeks, so what are Greeks? And then are Greeks in the same category as Mediterranean like Spaniards and Italians?

thats what i found about greeks ???
The tribes which became the Greeks are believed to have migrated southward into the Balkan peninsula in several waves beginning in the Middle Bronze Age (roughly 2000 BC) from the current areas of Albania and Yugoslavia. Their racial origins are unknown.
The people who live in present-day Greece are mainly of the Caucasian race.

Pashtoons are caucasian. most pashtoons have very fair skin (not that we don't have darker ones) but majority of them are very fair, and mostly with colored eyes and colored (light brown, golden, to dark brown) hair.

its another matter that most pashtoons don't take shower often and they don't take care of their skin so its hard to tell that they are caucasian lol

Pashtuns are mostly light ghanam rung people.

but a lot of them don't look white/caucasian.

Physically and racially, the Pashtuns are classified as Caucasians of the Mediterranean variant. Their Pashto language is classified under the Eastern Iranian sub-branch of the Iranian branch of the Indo-European family of languages.
Early precursors to the Pashtuns were old Iranian tribes that spread throughout the eastern Iranian plateau. According to the Russian scholar Yu. V. Gankovsky, the Pashtuns probably began as a "union of largely East-Iranian tribes which became the initial ethnic stratum of the Pashtun ethnogenesis, dates from the middle of the first millennium CE and is connected with the dissolution of the Epthalite (White Huns) confederacy." He proposes Kushan-o-Ephthalite origin for Pashtuns.
Those who speak a dialect of Pashto in the Kandahar region refer to themselves as Pashtuns, while those who speak a Peshawari dialect call themselves Pukhtuns. These native people compose the core of ethnic Pashtuns who are found in southeastern Afghanistan and western Pakistan. Like other Iranian peoples, some Pashtuns have mixed with neighboring groups or new migrants that settled in their region. The new settlers eventually became Pashtunized, like the Ghaznavids, Khiljis, Lodis, and others.
