      Asia is a continent not a race. They are not mongoloid. Middle Easterns, pakistan, kashmir, smelly india have nothing genetically in common with yellow people like korean, chinese, japanese, thai people. And oriental men are not masculine or have much testerone

    In my opinion, that I'm Italian (Sicilian, to be precise), the Turks are simply Mediterraneans.
    We Mediterranean peoples are all mixed, we don't have precise genetics, and this is precisely the beauty of being Mediterranean.

      Yes, they are quite unique in the sense that they seem to have hate and are unfriendly. Never visited a country that they were so unfriendly and unhelpful. As an American coming to spend my money in Turkey they have things to improve in their interactions with customers and people in general. Not all of course but a vast majority of them 99% of them I'd say. Also let's not forget their religion plays a part in their lives. Overall great food but not great people.

We lived in Europe for centuries as Asian origins and changed it. Today, we also have a very unique culture and in fact, this is Anatolian culture. Thousands of years ago, the Greeks also officially had Asian culture, they had nothing to do with today's Europe, they lived in Mora and Anatolia and were completely Asian. Today, if you ask, they say we are European.

And even the natives of the old land of Turkey, called Anatolia, are considered Asians despite some being blonde and Italian-looking or living the "European way". It's all about geology.
