Korean Girl!!!! you are on top of your game, I could'nt have said it any better, I mean, if I wanted a guy with a skin color like that of a POLAR BEAR and a nose that stretched from the south pole to the north pole why would I settle for a persian when i might as well choose an ice lander or german or maybe a scandinavian.

Oh boy, I hear a lot of gossip that Chinese and Malays simply detest Tamils, I am really hoping that all these negative things that I am hearing are only rumors, Tamils and Malays go back a very long time in Sri Lanka, infact strong bonds have been maintained between us based on mutual respect, love and inter personal understanding. We Tamils cherish and respect all our sisters and brothers from asia.

My family and I live in Miami, and oh yes we get lots of stares from Carribbean latinos, they simply do not know what to make of us. heeee heeee carribbean latinos have a good conception of who a white is, who a mulatto is, and who is a mestizo, but when they look at us i see tremendous confusion on their faces, they simply do not know how to pigeon hole us.
I strongly suspect that many of these latinos are encountering south Indians for the very first time.

Korean Girl you are simply amazing, you go girl, have fun.
In west and south west Asia there is nobody sharper than an Arab, (saudi arabia, oman and yemen only)
In africa there is nobody sharper than a somalian or ethiopian
in the Indian sub continent there is nobody that is sharper than Dravidians.
all three races are black races anybody that did'nt know this, please go back to kindergarten and study a b c d e f g......and so on
The arab and the east african will humbly bow down to the Dravidian
Show me a european community that is sharper than any of these three black races and i will humbly bow down to YOU.

ps.. please do'nt talk to me about looooong hooked prominent and crooked noses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAH Look, I have researched a lot into this subject.

Yes Dravidians come in very different colors and features.

For example the coorgis in Karnataka and the Todas in Tamil Nadu are TRIBALS. THey haven't interacted with mainland folks in over 1500 yrs! They are PURE dravidians. They look like white people. Very fair skin, thin long noses,etc. Same for the coorgis.

Dravidian men are hairless with strong jaws are you joking?LOL

Listen, I am a complete aberration and I know because I have visited many many south indian parties. I have lived in madras for 6 yrs and traveled over most of South India. I have a good idea what my people look like.

South Indians do NOT have Jaw lines, they generally do not have good features. This is for the most part. Yes there are exceptions to this like yours truly. Yes many are thin and wirey. Most southies have lots of body hair which is NOT found amongst negroid races.

You can't break up India into South/North, we are too interconnected with each other to be broken up like that.

South Indians have round small faces, usually straight or wavy hair, medium features, and most are short.

Even amongst other Indians I am always confused for a punjabi or Pakistani because I am tall with sharp features and big body frame. South Indians have very small bodies.

There was a Mass Migration of Aryans, but these people were very small in number. Afghans are totally not pure aryans. They have been raped by every race on earth, same for pakistanis and punjabis. But, punjab is the area in which many of the original vedic Aryans settled. I can point you people to some good genetic studies,etc if your really interested, but first let me clear some myths.

1. myth #1: no. south indians are not related to east africans. east africans are blacks who intermarried with arabs for a period of a thousand years. this is why their looks are different from the other africans.

2. myth #2: no. south indians and their languages are not related to africans and their languages.

3. myth #3: there is hardly any genetic difference between indians. we are primarily of the same stock. most of these percieved differences are mainly linguistic.

To the Asian girls who like south indian guys: This is interesting, I heard in malaysia and Singapore that Asian girls were crazy about northern punjabi guys and bollywood films. They apparently hated south indian people. This is what many of the southerners from those areas have told me.

Fair skin in the south is from aryan blood Makadu? BWAHAHAHAHAHA ARe you joking? The aryans were a tiny nomadic group that settled northern india and were absorbed by the dravidians who were a huge population. Dark skin is found even in Afghanistan, it is certainly not native only to south india. Most people below Delhi are dark. Many upper caste people all over india are fair skinned. This is a genetic trait. Many people have fair and dark people in their family in India, this is just how diverse we are in appearance.

My family are called Rajputs, or the warrior community. We are small and orignally thousands of years ago came from the north. But we look distinctly South Indian. I can tell you there is no way that we have any Aryan blood. Rajputs are SCYTHIC people. Scythians are caucasians BUT they are NOT related to ARYANS. Aryans are a tiny part of an Indian person's racial makeup. All Indians are primarily dravidian in race.

Anyways whatever it is, I am completely surprised we are considered good looking by many of you girls. Wow, I'm used to constantly hearing the exact opposite about us, atleast from other indians. If you truly feel this way, more power to you.lol

Korean girl! you are so cute and silly, the "round headed" gujarathis that you were talking about is really Brachycephaly which is the scientific word for this condition. India is Asia no doubt its just that everybody is different, You know the Nagas who are a Tibeto Burman mountain folk of Northeast India and Burma are very popular among Germans, I have encountered more than 3 dozen marriages that have taken place between Nagas and Germans, mostly German women and Naga men, one or two exceptions though. Most live in Stuttgart. The women simply love the atheletic builds and the golden brown skins.
Goodness gracious you see to be unusually observant, brachycephaly has had a very ancient presence in the Indian sub continent, this feature is very much present among north Indians and other hindusthani urdu speakers, you will immediately notice this feature when observing the males, yes absolutely the height is usually ranges from short to tall, the complexion is white and the head is brachycephalic often like a soccer ball.
This very common tendency is not just an indian thing infact this feature was introduced from central asia and I cannot forget to mention Armenia. In very ancient times possibly 3000 BC, a brachycephalic white population entered and settled in India, they people went by countless tribal names such as Aryas. There is such a striking resemblence between Armenians and north Indians even today. Armenians are probably the most brachycephalic race on earth.

Aria Giovanni and Jasmin St. Claire are two of the most famous and hottest south Indians in europe and the US, both are originally from Madurai, but I have no clue as to what their original Tamil names are.

Studying the two asiatic giants India and China can be very daunting and extremely frustating, China has 75million non Han Chinese, and speaking of India WHERE DO WE EVEN START!
