[QUOTE]Originally posted by Roy_2k5: [QB] Djehuti: [QUOTE]# The features of Sumerian statues, paintings, and other depictions look like those of north Indians."[/QUOTE] The problem here is too many are using Bollywood actors/actresses as a standard. Indians in general are quite dark skinned, whether in North or South. Example: [URL=http://www.hindustantimes.com/wfsf/2002/Dec/25/07_57/images/hiResWeb126540.jpg]http://www.hindustantimes.com/wfsf/2002/Dec/25/07_57/images/hiResWeb126540.jpg[/URL] [QUOTE] Many Iraqi people, especially those along Mesopotamia, resemble northern Indians. Many look somewhat more Pakistani or north Indian than Arab.[/QUOTE] You are doing it again. An 'ideal' Indian or Pakistan would look like an Iranian. Take a look at some Bollywood actress. On the other hand, a typical North Indian or even Pakistan (from say Sindh or Baluchistan) would be much darker. If you think that Dravidians are typically darker than you are wrong again. Think of those groups just as Arabs, most are darker in skin complexion while there is a minority white population. In other words, a South Indian is NOT Black like an African, he or she is nearly identical to a typical North Indian. Matter of fact there are parts of North India, where people are far darker than those in the South. [QUOTE]Many Iraqi people, especially those along Mesopotamia, resemble northern Indians. Many look somewhat more Pakistani or north Indian than Arab.[/QUOTE] Again, if you mean the typical dark skinned North Indian or Pakistan than you are correct. The Iraqis around there are dark skinned and not white like a Syrian or heck, even Mexican. Note: Asking others of the racial reality in Middle East and the Arab World is not very reliable. What happens is many people tend to adore fair skinned and would never like to associate their society with dark skin. This explains why skin lighteners are heavily purchased in this region. If they are so fair than such products will not be purchased. [/QB][/QUOTE]
