Re: Racial category

Fine bro, that's your opninion but to me it seems a bit outdated in this day and age. It's quite unhealthy to be so hung up on race, I've seen that Afghans, Pakis, Iranians and Kashmiris have a really bad complex when it comes to race, that sort of mindset causes an arrogant "Hinduish casteist" attitude where others are shunned and people insist on intermarrying like the Ashekenazi-inbreds and turn out as freaks.
Ethnic groups should be inclusive not exclusive, of course there's going to be a certain majority genotype/phenotype which will define each Ethnicity but it doesn't mean that those who don't fit that are not good enough to be part of that group.
Amongst Punjabis there are Jatts, Rajputs, Brahmins, Gujjars, Khans, Chamars... all of who have distinct roots, some settled in Punjab earlier than others but they're all Punjabi because they speak Punjabi as their mother tongue and live in Punjab.
Amongst Pashtuns the Ghilzai's (largest Pashtun tribe, 25% Afghans) are of Turkic origin, the Moshwoni's are of Arab descent (from Nabi Muhammed S.A.W.), other tribes are of Greek origins and others of Hebrew (lost tribes of Israel).
I heard a lot of foreign freedom fighters who settled in Kashmir also intermarried amongst the locals...
