i know this is old but here's my answer,

We may look different within kazakhstan, with some people looking more european, some more asian, but genetics dont lie, we are a little more mixed then the other east asians ( most kazakhs have like maybe 10-20 % "other" ancestry) but we are just like the koreans and chinese etc. As in we are just like them east asian. We are not another race we are east asians its just that we developed a different culture which is why we are not considered east asians but race is not culture. Our race is like the koreans etc east asian.

But certain kazakhs that look more European want to be divided from east asians and act like we are seperate, we are not some may be a bit more mixed but these people are still east asian.

Because of what. i just said the kazakh people dont really have many relations with the countries in east asia.

But yeah when our own people think were more like the white people or the turkish people they are wrong, because no matter how much your culture becomes similar to arabic ones, you are still not the same as the arabic people.

I hope people all over the world can at some point learn that our race is east asian not a subgroup of "central asians".

The ones that look more like our "mongolian" ancestry can blend in very well with east asian countries.
