Best Looking Race/Ethnicity?

<p><em>sigh</em> it's finals week next week :(
I've been studying my butt off all this time.</p>

<p>Best of luck!! :)</p>

<p>best of luck jesminder ... u have IB??</p>

<p>SM</p>

<p>American School Diploma, I guess</p>

<p>I personally find Ethiopian women (umm...sadly, not the men) beautiful. I've never seen such stunning ladies walking down the streets at any given time. Of course...Indians are gorgeous, too. ;)</p>

<p>Brazilian and Russian.</p>

<p>My friend from Australia says that Australians are the greatest ever.</p>

<p>"Anyways i once read Indians are the purest bloodline of the Aryans...and they were the most beautiful race ever...so its Indians.."</p>

<p>Nonsense, the average Indian has the blood of Kushans, scythians, huns,mongols,greeks,dravidians etc.</p>

<p>hmmm...i think southies descend all those...so its North Indians only...my mistake...</p>

<p>nope, Indians irregardless of skin tone have nearly the same features, that is race . Almost all Indians have hybrid blood. Most of the pure blood Aryan races are dead or dying out due to in breeding. Pretty pathetic for 'nobility'.The last pure aryans are in Ladakh- a small tribe.</p>

<p>Italians....</p>

<p>this is the dumbest thread ever.</p>

Note the use of Iran throughout the page, and note the use of India throughout the page.</p>

<p>"The word arya first appears in the ancient Indian sacred text the Rigveda and the Iranian Gathas. The Indian and Iranian terms are directly derived from Proto-Indo-Iranian *arya-, apparently a self-designation of the Proto-Indo-Iranians. The term is also continued in Old Persian inscriptions and other Persian sources from c. 500 BCE onwards, the word Iran itself being derived from it (See Airyanem Vaejah). India is also referred to as Aryavarta, which means "the Land of Aryans". Modern Iranians consider their ethnicity and stock as being "Aryan", and in historical Hinduism, the Sanskrit term took on a spiritual meaning of "noble"."</p>

<p>"Persians/Iranians are the only people with a real claim to being part of an authentic "Aryan" race. Also, don't differentiate "Persians" from "Iranians". They always called themsleves Iranians. "Persians" was the name given to them by the Greeks. The Greeks also named the Canaanites "Phoenicians" and they named the Ashurians "Assyrians". Arabs are Semitic people with a completely different lineage. This is true linguistically and genetically. Arabs are of the same origin as the Canaanites (Phoenicians), the Syrians, the Assyrians (Ashurians), and the ancient Hebrews (today's Sephardic Jews). The Aryans/Iranians come the Caucausus mountain area. The Aryan peoples settled south, but battled the Indus Valley Civilization in the east, and the Semitic Assyrians in the West (the Arabians were desert nomads and were mostly irrelevant to history until about 700 AD).</p>

<p>Closest people to "Aryans" today would be probably Armenian people, as they have lived in the same spot the longest since the Aryans."</p>

<p>"The Sanskrit lexicon Amarakosha (c. AD 450) defines Arya as mahākula kulīnārya "being of a noble family", sabhya "having gentle or refined behavior and demeanor", sajjana "being well-born and respectable", and sādhava "being virtuous, honourable, or righteous". In Hinduism, the religiously initiated Brahmin, Kshatriya and Vaishyas were arya, a title of honor and respect given to certain people for noble behaviour. According to some sources, in the Vedas, the word Arya or Aryan, has never been used in an ethnic or racial sense. This word is still used by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Zoroastrians to mean noble or spiritual "</p>

<h2>"A Parsi is a member of the close-knit Zoroastrian community in or from the Indian subcontinent, and is a descendant of people who, in the 8th century, emigrated to the west coast of India from Persia to escape religious persecution after the Islamic conquest."</h2>

<p>Anyways... the most beautiful people in the world? hmm... I don't know. I think spanish people usually take the prize. At least in terms of their models. :o)</p>

<p>You can't really quote or take anything Wikipedia says to heart. Afterall, I could go to that site now, and change what that says. Anyone can.</p>

<p>Jesus this is the most retarded thread ever. Quit bickering if Indians are the most beautiful race or not. There are good looking people in all races...</p>

<p>Go ahead. :)
If you note there are a lot of resources under each article, which is the main reason I use WP. While many sites are biased towards one cause or another, so many people edit an article on Wiki that their biases slowly cancel one another out. It's quite an interesting phenomena actually. I might research it one day.</p>

<p>Agreed. Some Indians girls are gorgeous, as are some Asian girls, Arab girls, German girls, Spanish girls, Hispanic girls, Persian girls, French girls, African Girls, mediterrean girls in general (I am convinced there is somehting in the water around that region)... sorry to be cliche though-- beautiful as they may be, in the end it's what's inside, and what the person contributes to the world around them that really matters. :p</p>

<p>right... it's inside what really matters, but the question of the thread asked for what do we as posters feel is the best LOOKING race. Saying "everyone is beautiful" sounds nice, but what do people personally think is the best? Thats what people are answering. True, the post has essentially no point, but then again, does it have to? Its amusing!</p>

<p>True. True.</p>

<p>Most of the indians that have posted on this topic are truly dense. First of all, people from Ladakh are of Tibetan origin. Second, only 65-70% of Indians are of Aryan lineage, the other Dravidians and Mongoloids are quite disparate from these Aryans. In addition, last time I checked, Rai and Kapoor were South Asian, not Middle Eastern. Embarassing, stupid mistake. Please, check the facts before posting fallacious, idiotic replies. Also, what do you guys consider an average Indian? Based on your knowledge, it encompasses a Hindi-speaking, northern Indian. It is no surprise that this ignorance has lead to the creation of dozens of separatist groups in "India".</p>

<p>Ladakh is obviously Mongoloid. Umm, South Indians are Dravidians.</p>
