    Ahh, thanks. Provo's skin is pretty white. I thought indigenous Russians were darker. That's why I thought he was mixed. I just googled them and many are pretty white. Gennady doesn't really look Mexican, just that one pic. Definitely looks part Korean as you said. Actually I KNEW Provo was an indigenous Russian, but I thought he was mixed with white.

    Genghis Khan and his soldiers did a lot of focking during Mongol invasion of Russia. That's how people who look like Provo and Golovkin came to be.

    Provodnikov is a member of the Mansi they are Uralic which means they originated near the Ural Mountains, they're Russians with slanted eyes which happened because they evolved that way due to the harsh winter climate, and developed epicanthic folds like other Asian peoples. Caused by the harsh whiteness of the skies and glare off of the ice, forcing their eyes to adjust over centuries
    Gennady is half Russian half Korean, Koreans as well as many other types of Asians are close relatives ethnically to Russians, they branched off thousands of years ago into Siberia developed smaller noses and slanted eyes because of the climate as well.

    They both have asian blood. The ancestors of native americans are thought to have come from asia thousands of years ago across the land bridge that once was across the bering sea between russia and alaska.

    Thousands of years ago the people of India were far whiter than they are now most of them look like current Bollywood actors, but they darkened because they interbred with Aboriginal groups from the south, creating a hybrid group called Dravidians.
    The Gypsies left India before they intermixed making them ethnically similar to modern day Afghans and Iranians. They are believed to be descended from the modern day Jai people of northern India.

    They're also known as Romani but they have no passed down oral or written history, but ethnically they are primarily a mix of Persian and the ethnicity of whatever country they are currently living in, be it Spain, Romania etc.

    Not True. Russian could technically describe Provo's nationality but not his ethnicity. Ethnic Russians are white Europeans descending from the Vikings who first settled Kievan Rus'(modern day Ukraine, Belarus and Russia) in 9th century AD and other Indo European groups.

    Provo being a native is more ethnically related to the Inuit of Northern Canada and the Mongols of Central Asia.

    They are a sub group of the rest, they travelled all over Europe and absorbed the ethnic features through intermarriage of whatever country they stopped in they are called the Romanichals, they emigrated from Spain to the British Isles in the 1500's

    The roma people(gypsies) are not related to Irish Travellers whatsoever. The term "gypsy" being placed on Irish Travellers is a misnomer.

    I was referring to Golovkin's Korean side, Asians and Russians both descended from Arabs and Persians, Asians broke away far before the Russians did, one group went east, the other north and then west. Russians and Asians and the Native Americans in between all evolved seperately giving us all distinct features.

    Your right I missed the Irish Traveller thing on the video, they are genetically basically Irish. But they still use alot of ancient Celtic words in their language, giving them their odd dialect. But they did adopt quite a few Romani words causing some confusion about their origins.
