What is the ridiculousness of the statement? What I have stated is reality. Modern Iranians do not phenotypically resemble the people that brought to them their Indo-European derived culture/civilization and
although they may descend from those Indo-European people, today, they barely resemble them on a genetic level due to social/historical factors (ex: mixing with the natives of Iran/being subject to invasions/occupations from various different races/ethnicities. This holds for people in India as well.
Think of it like this, if the current demographic trajectory of the United States continues, perhaps in 200-300 years (assuming the USA will even exist in its current form by then) we'll have mestizos in America claiming that George Washington or Donald Trump resembled them phenotypically and genetically.

Why do you think OP was and has been trying to pass off a phenotypic anomaly of a white-looking Iranian as some sort of representation of Iranians? Like I said before, OP suffers from an inferiority complex. He has been trying to latch onto White-ness/European-ness by trying to cling onto Italians and claiming that Iranians and Italians are more similar to each other than Italians are to their fellow European. He is not the first Iranian to do this, there have been many and will be many more that suffer from this obnoxious complex.
Also, lets not forget that the OP started off this thread by claiming that because Proto-Indo-Europeans had dark hair and brown eyes, that people with blonde hair and blue eyes cannot be genetically considered the decedents of Indo-Europeans. This was shown to be incorrect considering that those people with blonde hair and blue eyes (ie: in his eyes, people from the Northern regions of Europe) are populations with the largest amount of Indo-European admixture relative to other populations. He then tried to post phenotypic anomalies and try to claim them as the generic Iranian and that was shown to be a delusion by posting general crowds of Iranians. Since then he has been continuing to attach Iranians to Italians (ie European-ness/White-ness). With all this, you seriously don't think OP has an inferiority complex? From personal experience, this guy is definitely not the first Iranian/Indian/etc to engage in this path (sometimes that latch onto Greeks rather than Italians,). Come on, don't be dense as to what is going on here.
