Re: Are Pakistanis Brown?

@mercenary2k

Just the other day, a Turkish friend of mine, a sri lankan friend of mine and me were playing soccer with other people.

We decided to play brown vs non-brown. While the Sri Lankan and Indians went on the brown team, my turkish friend and me got grouped in the non-brown team because my turkish friend said that pakistanis are olive skinned and thus not brown.

So are Pakistanis Brown in the purest definition that it encompasses Indians and Sri Lankans or are we Olive skinned like Syrians, Lebanese Turkish or Iranians?

All this talk of skin colour is frankly ridiculous. Skin colour has very little to do with a person's ethnic grouping. Pakistanis come in all different colour, from blonde haired white skinned, to black haired black skinned. There isnt a particular physical definition for a Pakistani. But most Pakistanis are brown skinned dur to the heat that generally exists in the country. Pakistanis are also completely different to Indians in facial features, and are not the same as Turks or Iranians either, except in religion and political friendliness (with the Turks).
