Do you wish you looked like a European?

[Karachi]

I think most guys prefer lighter skinned women, not sure why

though darkskin can also be beautiful, I think more then skincolour it has to do with your facial features/shapes

sri lankan / south indian:

[Khostai]

weren't pale women considered beautiful in Asia even before peopel knew that Europeans excist? And by the way it not only a Hindu thing to consider brown or black ugly, in Esat Asia you see tons of whitining products, the same in Africa......

[DaZahroJaam.]

i hear that in countries such as china, japan and philippinese fair skinned women are preferred not because it's considered beautiful but because it's a sign of coming from families with elite backgrounds and that dark skin meant you had worked in the fields and you came from a family of farmers and whatnot.

People do have a tendency to praise those with European looks more often.

It is becoming more prevalent among Westernized Pashtuns.

I remember back home people would refer to some as shin stargay or wuroos (Russian). This wasnt said in a positive sense. On the other hand dark black eyes, dark black hair was considered beatiful. Even darker skin tone was considered attractive. Pale colours were seen as less attractive.

But it wasnt like everybody loved dark or the other way around. But what i dont remember is this obsession with having green or blue eyes and white skin.

I was at the great bazaar today where 70% of the merchants and customers are Afghan. Most Pashtuns there are from Mashriqi. A minority are from loy Paktia or Kandahar.

Since I speak both Pashto and farsi, i have no trouble communicating with people from different regions.
But since there are so many merchants of different backgrounds i have to figure out how I should address them.

If they are Turkish, then i must speak Dutch, if theyre Moroccan i have to speak Arabic and if they are Afghan its either Pashto or Farsi. The mongoloid features are usually hazara, tajik or Uzbek. But there are many who look exactly like Pashtuns but are not Pashtuns. So what i usually do is to speak Pashto if they aere dark skinned. 9 out of 10 times the dark skinned merchant is Pashtun.

Correction, Turkish people dont speak Dutch, they speak Turkish. Dutch is spoken in western europe, way far away from turkey.

I dont speak Turkish. Therefore we have to speak in the local language. Think before posting.

Dutch is not Turkey's local language. who told you that? No one in turkey speaks dutch. Dutch is spoken in Netherlands and Belgium which is way far away from turkey. Dutch has nothing to do with turkey.

Much to the dismay of Pakis/Pathans/Indic people, I wish I WASN'T so pale haha. I dont really look European at all but still white as a ghost. And you're right that in the west anyone worshipping light skin is quite likely suffering Uncle Tom syndrome and would give their right foot to be white.

[pashtanajan]

I was born with fair skin and people don't assume I'm Afghan until I say so; therefore, I've never really thought of this. I don't think appearing lighter is so much so an issue in the Pashtun community. It's the physical features of someone that makes them more attractive than their skin tone.

To illustrate my point:

Here is a white woman. She has light skin. Do you find her attractive?

We all know that Indian and Pakistani society is a racist society where cast and skin tone decide who you are going to be in life.


Recently I noticed how mainly Western Pashtuns are increasingly associating bleu or green eyes and bright hair colour with Beauty.

There are many pages where pictures of fair skinned people is celebrated as hallmarks of Pashtun beauty.

This looks like we are increasingly becoming like our Eastern neighbors. Full of self hatred and worship of Europeans.

It is a Hindu thing to associate darkness with ugliness. We are not Hindus.

Yes it is true, I know for fact 30-50 % of "Iranians" (mix raced arabs) and Afghans are behaving like Europeans in many ways. For instance, they like to wear coloured eyed lenses, they like to get a tattoo, lighten their hair, wearing clothes like *****s. It is the Americanized world, majority of world populations do this because their parents don't do their job etc. Even they put aside their own pashtuns/ariai/central Asian culture and believes.

It has the same similarity to when Ariana got Arabiazied by the parasite Semitic people, the great fag alexander invaded with the hellenic ***** culture, and last the mongol barbarian who raped half of asia. This dark times has devastated our small unity and pure culture, traditions we had. IT didn't stop with that, British dogs and their slaves Hindus/porkis has know brainwashed other side of our people.

And now since 1979 some pashtuns have been brainwashed wahabis and their masters US parasite with slaves porkis harbour our children and train them as suicide weapons.

I am for following Pashtunwali and some parts of Avestan ie Sanskrit that is near to pashto languages meaning Pashtun ancestors are the first race with monolithic believes and that our ancestors civilised our savage neighbouring people and even some Germanic tribes.
