Half Indian? How is THAT possible.


I was shocked to learn she was half Indian! Although her dad appears to have quite a lot of white ancestry I'm still quite shocked that there is absolutely NO WAY you can tell by Gabrielle's appearance that she is half Indian. She looks like a classic white girl based on her features. Nose, eyes, hair, face shape, skin tone etc.

Look at this photo of her father

Now look at this photo of Gabrielle.

How is that possible? That is like a genetic fluke. Maybe one in a million that his daughter could turn out like that. Maybe some of that ancient Aryan DNA in her father came through a little. Because believe it or not ancient Aryans in India actually looked very much like Gabrielle more so than her father.

Usually non-white ancestry is very easy to spot even when they have as little as 5-10% non-white in them. But Gabrielle just had me flawed. She is very beautiful imo.

Actually I always thought she was Indian and the original title of this thread was Indian not Iranian. But I changed it because I saw a few people on this forum mention she was part Iranian. So I guess I was right. Either way it doesn't matter because both India and Iran have a long history of Aryan ancestry. That's why Indians are in the north are more pale than the ones in the south and the reason for the Hindu caste system.

Thanks for showing the video. Confirms the Indian theory.

Another weird thing is if you type in google "gabrielle anwar ethnicity" its says WHITE. Maybe she prefers that. I don't know.

Since she was born and raised in Great Britian (England - specifically) most will automatically think typically white/anglo.

wrong, the word aryan has an indian origin and means noble in sanskrit. and sanksirt is one of the oldest languages in the indo-eruopean language family.

all indo-aryans/indo-europeans are genetically related to a degree but that is since ancient times. the north indians have lived in india for at least 20 000 years and the aryan invasion is nothing but a myth. both north indians and south indians are indigenous indians and they are closer related genetically to each other compared to any other population in the world, and both north and south indians are caucasoids.

the main difference between south indian dravidians and north indians is skin color. cause dravidians have just as sharp, pointy and narrow faical features as the north indians, and they can also have green and blue eyes naturally without any admixture.

some indian tribals have australoid(veddoid) admixture which makes them look qutie different though but they are a small minority, same with the minority that lives in the eastern borders who have mongoloid (tibeto-bruman) admixture.

also remember that y-dna haplogroup R1a is said to have an origin in india (very likely with todays evidence). today subclades of R1a is one of the most common haplogroups in all indo-european populations, both in europe and asia, and it ultiamtel came from india. that evidence supports the fact that sanskrit is one of the oldest indo-eruopean languages.

so if anything, you could say european features came from india, however its most likely that it originated from somewhere in central asia and split off in each direction.

and to answer why gabrielle looks so european, is because her father Tariq Anwar is mixed himself, his mother was an Austrian Jew and his father was pure indian.
that makes Gabrielle 1/4 indian.

Finally someone that has taken an anthropology class and isn't spewing out a bunch of rhetoric. Good job UFC

One man's garbage is another man's treasure.

Sounds good but you've got too many 'oids'. Maybe if you worked on your rhoids you could pull you head out long enough to realize that all your knowledge is based on falsehood. Yes, false assumption. And remember, along with y-dna haplogroup R1a, when you assume, you make an ass out of you and me and ALL the naughty little haplogroups. And the evidence belongs to today, so it is "today's". Anyone throwing haplogroups around haphazardly should know apostrophe usage. Otherwise, who will believe you when you toss around terms like 20,000 years and admixture. What about subtractmixture? What about him?
What exactly is an Austrian Jew? Jewess? When Moses was wandering the wilderness someone got tired of eating manna after 25 or 30 years and said "I'm outta here, goin' to Austria"? Go dig up some medium-length necked giraffe skeletons if you're so eager to tie everything together.

The O.P knows nothing about what they speak, there's over a billion Indian's of all shapes sizes and colours, My mum's a red headed Irish women and my dad's South African Indian, my sisters look like my mother white as white can be and I look more like my dad, don't get so caught up in race because it actually doesn't even exist. its like god and Santa Claus we made that *beep* up for all sorts of reasons mostly because we could, race used to be a way of identifying where people came from as global transport wasn't possible but in these modern times that will all fade away and all crazy/wonderful looking people are starting to emerge hopefully putting the ridiculous idea of race purity to rest, O.P get over yourself bro.

Lol I find it hilarious that people really swallow all the politically correct BS they learn from their television receivers and marxist high school text books.

Your knowledge is poor yet you masquerade as someone with intelligence throwing around a few haplogroups types. Well I can see right through your poor understanding. Anyone who seriously believes that the Aryan invasion of northern India was a myth is either in serious denial or just plain stupid.

I won't even go into details WHY but you can't get light eyes without a European admixture anyone who thinks otherwise is insane.

As for the "Aryan invasion myth" how do you explain the Tarim mummies and such artifacts as these?

http://www.burlingtonnews.net/redhairedmummieschina.html

Back before the second world war when it wasn't politically incorrect to talk about these things the Germans understood who the ancient Aryans actually were. Hence the use of the Swastika as seen in the link above. They brought that culture into Northern India with them. Some stayed but most moved on into Europe and Germany.

you are a complete moron if you actually believe what you posted there.

the Aryan invasion is definitely a myth and nothing else, that is undisputable fact and has been proven many times already, its you who are in denial if you still believe in it.

Light eyes exists in South asia/india and it has nothing to do with admixture, its natural.

tarim mummies where in china, not india, and they did not leave much of a genetic impact at all, so that argument is completely useless.

deal with the fact that the aryan invasion never happened.
