>>212887460Do you have any idea how "Uzbek" ethnicity even came to be? Anyone, who didn't have Mongolian overlord called themselves Uzbek - even people from Tajik or Tatar tribes. USSR coined it into a different ethnicity (which it isn't). Uzbek is a compound nationality for all different people who lived in roughly this area (like an American)
>>212887475As far as I know everyone in our family were "Uzbeks"
>>212887518Yes, quite a few are. Some also look like picrelated. It varies wildly
>>212887644These clueless kotaqboshes have no idea what's happening in the region. Shymkent and Tashkent look exactly the same, but to them because these cities are in different countries people must look different too
>>212887692Tajiks, who live in Fergana call themselves Uzbeks and have mixed with the rest of the region for generations. It's not like local population started mixing a century ago like in the US. We've been at it since the dawn of times.
