Re: Malaysian men feel “threatened” by tall, dark and handsome Pakistanis
That’s very true even in the tribal areas. Punjabi and Urdu people seem to think all Pashtuns have rosy complexion, brown hair and blue/green eyes which is not the case.
Yes compred to other people from South Asia Pashtuns on average are fairer but there are also plenty of dark Pashtuns. I would say a clean golden-olive complexion, dark eyes and dark hair are most common amongst Pashtuns followed by the ruddy complexion, followed by the brown skin but not a greasy slimy sort of brown.
As for white skin, brown hair and green eyes, plenty of people from the Northern Areas (Kafir Kalash etc.) and a lot of Hindko and Northern-Punjabi people (with no Pashtun blood in them) also have these but you can tell from their looks they’re not Pashtun.
You can tell if someone is pure Pashtun, mixed race or a complete fake by their facial features and built.
As for Salman Khan, he definately has Indian in him, you can tell by his eyes and nose but he’s also got some foreign in him like Afghan/Pathan or Iranian or something.
