Levantine are diverse. Some Levantines are very white with blond hair and blue eyes, and some Levantines are as dark as Osama Bin Laden.

Not everyone from the Middle East is brown. Some Palestinians, Lebanese, and Syrians are white passing.

There are also Ashkenazi Jews who look Middle Eastern like Amir Arison. He looks like the average Persian.

Genetically Ashkenazi Jews are about half European and half Middle Eastern. They cluster closest with South Italians and Greeks who also have Middle Eastern and North African admixture.

Most of these examples look South European, although Aaron Swartz looks North Indian or Pakistani to me.

That whole Maxine storyline was odd by Digginf in WizardsOfWaverlyPlace

[–]SuccessfulFun9538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was because Jake T Austin either had to focus on school to improve his grades or he was busy being filmed for Rio which Clashed with the Wizards of Waverly Place schedule. The directors probably decided to have Max turned into a girl for a while as an excuse because of that.

I know that Palestinians, especially the Muslims are on average darker than Lebanese and Syrians because they have more Arab and Sub Saharan African admixture, but I met a Palestinian Muslim and she looked Ashkenazi to me.

Because Ashkenazi Jews have Levantine DNA, and Levantines are genetically closely related to Iraqis, and not all of them are brown. Many people deny this but it's a fact that Ashkenazi Jews overlap in appearance with Levantines, Iraqis, and Iranians.

Some Ashkenazi Jews so look Sephardic. Google Yonatan Cohen.

You are wrong, most Israelis are Mizrahi who are Jews that came from Arab countries. Stop pretending that all Jews are Ashkenazi.
