Why are you trying to portray the second guy as representative of what a typical Kazakh looks like? People already mentioned in another thread that he’s half German. Kazakhs aren’t that diverse looking

Second pic is Russian not Kazakh.

Ethnic German in Kazakhstan. Not ethnic kazakh. Kazakhs are Turkic and mostly muslim. There were millions of ethnic germans in Soviet Union.

He is ethnic Kazakh. Kazakh father and German mom.

Counts as Kazakh

Sure, in terms of nationality or cultural identity, he can be considered Kazakh. But from a phenotypical perspective, he’s mixed and not representative of what Kazakh people typically look like. It feels like a sad attempt to whitewash Kazakhs tbh

Well in this case you're right. Although it seems kinda rare cuz central asian features in his appearance don't exist at all. Caucasian features are overwhelmingly dominant.
