Coined by a forum poster named Wadaad, OWD stands Off White Dilemma. It means someone swarthy who tries to whiten his people as much as possible and tries to make himself closer to "whiteness" in whatever ways. The people who suffer from this dilemma are always swarthy/tanned skinned, have dark hair and eyes. Turks, Arabs, North Africans, Iranians, Armenians, Kurds, White South Americans, Spaniards and Southern Italians are the most common people to suffer from it.

The cure to this mental illness is to simply stop believing in this nazi-like thinking that North Europeans are the most "whitest-white". Be proud of your skin, eye and hair color. There's nothing wrong with having more melanin in your features, after all, melanin is worth more than gold!
Farhad: Iranians speak an Indo-European language, thus are Aryans and white. Arabs will never be white.

Ali: Sound like you have OWD, most people in the west can't even differentiate an Iranian from an Arab either ways.
