It's always funny when they cherry pick a few pictures of the lightest assyrians and then say "see, we white" but that doesn't tell everything. I have seen some assyrians as pancho described but those aren't a whole lot. Of course nobody is pure and this is a fact that some people like our assyrians can't accept. I have an uncle whom we all call chinese because he really looks like one. When he comes to weddings, everyone asks "who is this chinese dude" and he is the only one like this in my family. His wife has the hair of black people and so do their children. One of my aunt's husband has red hair and looks very european but then I got the many darkies in my family and I don't think the average assyrian has blond hair or blue eyes. Even the ancient assyrians could not have been a pure race as they had an empire and incorporated many different peoples. Mesopotamia was a melting pot and Greeks, romans, etc, all made stops there at one time or another. I sometimes suspect that the red hair and green eyes may have come from the relationship with the brits and russians but who knows. People also assume that the darker skinned assyrians must automatically be arabized but I don't but that either and who is to say that the ancients were white? I have seen arabs who were whiter than many whites and then there are also dark ones of course. When I was in Toronto, I went to some assyrian man's house for dinner, and I couldn't stop looking at him and his daughters because their skin was literally like black. He had wavy hair and this black eye brows but his skin black. So I have seen it all and I have some very light people on my mom's side(mostly the women) and then I have more darker ones on my father side. They definitely come in many shades, but to say "we are white" or only the white ones are "real" is bullshit. --------------------- |
