I am a full Lebanese, my grandfather has the same features of John Elway, blue eyes, light skin etc.. Also my first cousin looks the same.. My mother side of the family has Meditern. features. We have lots of Lebanese who have north European features.. We are a big mix of cultures and ethnicities, and we're not talking hundreds of years, this has been mixing for thousands of years. John El could have been born for both Lebanese parents and still have these features. www.LGIC.orgYeh there are loads of lebanese with light features.

Regular guy, Lebanese are truly diverse, and alot of their population are very fair skinned...but I never saw a full fledged Lebanese looking like Elway. LOL! (edit) keep in mind there many lebanese who are as fair-skinned as him, and have similar hair and eye colour, but his features scream north european I'm in total agreement. It's his northern European-looking facial features that prevent me from believing he's full-blooded Lebanese. I completely realize that many Lebanese are very fair, but they still have the Levantine (Armenoid) facial features.

Interesting, a man claimed to be a Lebanese American but looks totally unlike any Lebanese and is rejected as a Lebanese American. What if his great granny was a Nuba as black as night? What would you say then?

I completely realize that many Lebanese are very fair, but they still have the Levantine (Armenoid) facial features. his northern European-looking facial features are shared with many Lebanese people in Lebanon and around the world. Do you think that all Americans should look like Native Americans (Indian Americans)? So if there is some American person with northern European features we shall say "he/she is not American, becuase he does not look like native Americans?" Like the United States, Lebanon has a mix of cultures and ethnicities, deal with it, so you'll find more explenations for such questions?

Lebanese are mix of cultures and ethnicities, most of them are of (1)Phoenician, (2) Syriac or (3)Arabic origins. In addition to M.E. features, we have lost of blonds with blue eyes, we also have people with green eyes, some have red hair etc.. Here is how Lebanese look: www.lgic.org/en/photos4_music.phpYou forgot these "european looking" lebs as well lol. i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/Meddish/lebs.jpg

Mr. Khameni next to Mr. Nasrallah Is there really much of a racial difference between the lebanese man and the persian man?

Meddish, Deal with it, if there is no Lebanese with European looks, then there is no Americans with European looks. I do not know where you got your photos from, but I can see that some Lebanese would have such looks, since they are (like the american community) of multi-culture and ethnic mix

Mr. Khameni next to Mr. Nasrallah Is there really much of a racial difference between the lebanese man and the persian man? quote] Persian is one of the races in Lebanon: Ethnic Groups: Lebanon encompasses a great mix of cultures and ethnic groups which have been building up for more than 6000 years. Most of the Lebanese are descendants of the Phoenicians/Canaanites and/or West Aramaic (Such as Syriac). The second largest ethnic group in Lebanon descends from Arabs. Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians, Hebrews, Kurds, Persians and others form the rest. www.lgic.org
