Do the different groups actually look different?
Near Albania and Macadonia the people look more Turkish (Black hair and a certain nose shape). Near Belgrade (outside the city) the people have bushy eyebrows, lighter skin tones, and a balding pattern kind of like Richard Nixon. (At least the guys do). As you move between the extreams there are a lot of people who don't quite fit either category, I don't think the melting pot blended as well as say Brazil, but it was moving more in that direction (Bosnia was even further blended than is the eastern part of Yugoslavia). Perhaps 10% of the Muslim population appeared to have blond or light brown hair and would easily pass for German or Czech. The locals seemed to know at a glance who was Roman Catholic, Orthodox, or Muslim but it was not apparent to the outside observer in the cities where all the men seemed to wear wide shouldered grey suits and the teenagers all wore T-shirts. Many women wore head scarves which I though was Muslim but turned out not to be indicative.
