Afghan
A person who is of the Irano-Afghan race. Their county is located in the Middle East, and not in South Asia. It is a Western Asian country, and a Central Asian. They speak either Pashto or Farsi, or sometimes both. They are not South Asian because of their location and DNA tests taken from them. Some people will say it is South Asian, and not Middle Eastern, but that is politically and geographically incorrect. Pakistan has a group of Afghans who live on the Western side of Pakistan. They speak Pashto because that area used to be apart of Afghanistan (which is why these people are really lighter in skin compared to the rest of Pakistan, which is Indian).
If anyone argues this fact, I strongly recommend that you do your research, and find out on your own if you do not believe this fact. Do not trust Google, though, or Wikipedia, for they can be edited by anyone. Also, go look at Afghanistan’s history, and look at where these afghans come from. You can, also, find these facts in professional documentaries found on YouTube.
Also, Afghans are called “Afghans”, not “afghanis”. Also, Afghans are not brown, they are of Iranian descent, and are of the Irano-Afghan race. If you wish to not believe this, be my guest, but these are facts.
I have a masters in Anthropology, which shows that this is my career, studying humans, and it’s diferent races, and where these races come from.
