is Amir Khan considered an Asian boxer or a middle eastern boxer?

scientists dont use the word Caucasian in anthropoligical terms the way ppl use it today first of all. and secondly if they did. the ppl of pakistan would still not be cosidered caucasian. They share next to no anthropological history with the ppl of europe. the two main ethic groups in pakistan are the punjabis (of indo-aryan stock i.e. they share similar anthropological history with the ppl of inda, which pakistan used to be a part of) and the pashtun (group of persian stock separated for iranian persians because of their affinity for living in mountainous regions of the hindu-kush). I dont kno how u get the idea that there is anything remotely Caucasian about any of these groups, their culture is very distinct and probably much older than any european groups that exist today.

very informative. i wasn't using the term in reference to culture...it was in reference to the three main races of humans.

if u use it that way u would be rite. mongoloid, negroid and caucasoid. they are caucasoid. i just think its a very archaic system of looking at any group anthropologically, it doesnt fit with the science. but what u said is technically correct in that sense.

No he's a slick African American boxer.

if you look at skull shape bone structure nose shape and hair its still a feasible way of categorizing humans. i know there are many sub races and to generalize in such broad terms is not that relevant in terms of anthropology...but its still interesting nonetheless.

No he is Asian. He is the decendant of the great Genghis Khan. You know, from Mongolia.

You half witted troll, Look man what im saying is Khan will never pass as an englishman. Do you think a white man sees Amir Khan Britton? Hell naw, the majority of the people will see Amir Khan as an Immigrant. Thats what i meant.

Open your eyes and take a good look at Hatton, do you think he can pass as a Pakistani? catch my drift?

Your drift is that you're a racist boor who should be banned from all civilised forums.

[PainKiller]

So a black fighter can be American or British but not a Pakistani fighter now?

Just enjoy or hate his boxing, he fights for himself and his money at the end of the day and that is all.

he doesn't consider himself british sooo ^^

[heihaci]

He is a brit boxer but his ethnicity would be asian.
