Have you ever seen uniquely beautiful Persian women before? This woman looks like most Persian women I've seen and I went to grad school with a bunch of them.
There was this really gorgeous Persian girl in my class. She looked different from the rest, still exotic, but not generic. All eyes were on her. True stunner with an unforgettable face.
This one does have a great body for her 5'3" height though. Perfect proportions that make her look taller than she is. But face? Very generically "hot" and nothing stands out to me. Don't get me wrong, she is attractive and
definitely
not ugly..it is just that I've seen many women with her look.
So no, in my eyes, she is not "the hottest brown girl ever"
She is about as overrated as Jamie Chung, who looks like an average East Asian girl. Not ugly, but not outstandingly gorgeous as people make her. But of course, she is "a perfect 10" to non-Asians who like that classic "Asian" look
Morena Baccarin is a 100% stunner though, I could not take my eyes off her in Deadpool and I'm a 100% straight woman. That was the first time I've seen her and I had to Google her after the movie because she was so hot. She has the most beautiful expressive eyes, delicate nose, and beautiful, warm smile with a body just as beautiful. Judging from her interviews, she is also a very down-to-earth woman as well.

Brown? I'm WASP going back as far as anybody can count and she's whiter than I am. Racist much?

I disagree with you about Pinto, if we are talking about Indian actresses then Shilpa Shetty beats her by a long shot. Pinto is extremely overrated and here is the twist, she was not the best thing about Slumdog Millionaire.
Always look for the positive in every situation.

She and Freida Pinto are knockouts. The most gorgeous darker-skinned women around.
I think I'll have a large order of prognosis negative.

Yeah she is white middle eastern.
Always look for the positive in every situation.

AGREED!

Which is all that should matter.

She is absolutely stunning.

Brown girl?

Sarah Shahi is white, but as a people the Iranians tend to be on the brown side, not the Arabs. The Arabs, especially the Levant and a big number of North Africans are white. The only reason the gulf Arabs are brown is cause they mixed with the blacks. The Arabs and the Jews share a lot with the Europeans, but the Iranians share a lot with the South Asians ( Indians and Pakistanis ) who are far from being white. Your description of the Middle East is quite the opposite and I base my opinion on my travels in the region and interaction with people from the Middle East. Lebanon, Palestine/Israel, Northern Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco are full of white people, a significant number which would be considered Nordic White. I met a lot of Syrians and Jordanians who were white. The Iranian white is only a portion and the rest look South Asian.

Actually, she, like most Persians who are her color and lighter (mostly in North and Central Iran - though there are others in all parts of Iran) are white NOT brown. Sarah Shahi is Iranian and Spanish - as in a Spaniard (not Mexican as another poster on this board claims). She is considered Caucasian or White Other (ethnic white) - not brown.
White is not just Anglo and 100% Nordic. They are Indo-Aryan of mostly mixed Alpine, Mediterranean (some Nordic) descent and cousins to Celts, Slavs, Greeks, Germans, and Italians. Most ethnic Iranians (Persia and Persian being words of Greek origin) have less than 5-10% Asian (Mongol) blood, and those descendants of slaves are in the deepest part of the south, and arabs mostly to the far west - and not ethnically Iranian. There was not that much mixture between Arabs and Iranians, especially in North and Central Iran.
I'm Iranian (raised in the U.S.) and like many ethnic Iranians, my family members are either super white to medium-olive like Southern Europeans, have high-bridge noses, and wavy to curly (not kinky) or straight hair (but mostly wavy or curly - medium to thick strands. Hair color comes in a variety of colors: blonde, auburn, red, light brown, but mostly medium brown to brown-black hair (more common than true black hair); brown (light to medium - not super dark brown that's practically black), green, hazel, and blue eyes. While dark brown hair, pale olive skin, and brown eyes is the most common combination, it's not uncommon to see pale to medium skin with light eyes.
A lot of so-called "Iranians" you see in the news have beards, tanned, or from the far west. Not a coincidence that many of the Islam-supporting Arabic mullah regime are mostly not ethnic Iranians. There are only 51% ethnic Iranians now since many live in the U.S., Europe, Australia, etc.
