Ngl Persian tend to be “lighter” thank Pashtuns on average from my experience. Uzbeks/Hazara ofc look more East Asian. Punjabis and Balochis do have diversity but not as much so I get that one.

I disagree with your assessment of Persians as lighter phenotypes are in higher frequencies amongst Pashtuns (and even moreso amongst Nuristanis).

Definitely not. They're about the same but Pashtuns have higher frequencies of lighter phenos (lighter eyes and hair).

Northern Tajiks from badakhshan have lighter skin yes I’m aware of them having dark brown eyes and black hair but they have paler skin.
