The reason you see some Syrians looking like Europeans is from ancient times but also later times in ancient times there was the Caucasian people Cimmerians,they are from Tiras bin Japheth ,they also served in the Assyrian armies ,but that does not mean all Assyrians were like that many still have black hair . The Romans became a mix people they ruled https://www.worldatlas.com/r/w728-h425-c728x425/upload/a4/4b/c9/shutterstock-203589544-1.jpg map from https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/5-important-cities-of-the-roman-empire.html

Quote"According to the Book of Jubilees, the inheritance of Tiras consisted of four large islands in the ocean.
Josephus wrote that Tiras became ancestor of the "Thirasians" (Thracians) — a "flame-haired" (red or blond haired) people according to Xenophanes. Tiras or Tyras in antiquity was also the name of the Dniester river, and of a Greek colony situated near its mouth; the native inhabitants of the surrounding region Tyragetae. The Getae were one of the major components of the Thracians (Herodotus 4.93, 5.3), who the Greeks held to descend from the eponymous Thrax. "wikipedia the Cimmerians and Vikings are from Tiras
Quote"Ghilman were introduced to the Abbasid Caliphate during the reign of al-Mu'tasim (r. 833–842), who showed them great favor and relied upon them for his personal guard. The ghilman were slave-soldiers taken as prisoners of war from conquered regions or frontier zones, especially from among the Turkic people of Central Asia and the Caucasian peoples (Turkish: Kölemen)."

why are so many of you people concerned with skin tone ?
Abu ‘Abdillah Ahmad bin Hambal:
Ibn Dharih al-’Ukbari said: “I requested to see Ahmad bin Hambal. So, I greeted him, and he was an old man who dyed his hair. He was tall and extremely dark.”
Muhammad bin ‘Abbas an-Nahwi said: “I saw Ahmad bin Hambal with a handsome face, well-formed, and dyeing his hair with henna that was not too dark. He had black hairs in his beard, and I saw his clothes extremely white. When I saw him, he was wearing a turban and an izar.”
[9/438]
‘Abd al-Malik al-Maymuni said: “I do not know that I have ever seen anyone who wore cleaner clothes, was more attentive to trimming his moustache and grooming the hair on his head and body, or wore purer and whiter garments than Ahmad bin Hambal.”
[9/454]
One man said: “In Khurasan, they did not think that Ahmad resembled a human being. They thought that he resembled the Angels.”
[9/456]
al-Fadl bin Ziyad said: “I saw Abi ‘Abdillah in the winter, and he was wearing two shirts with a colored vest between them, and maybe he was wearing a shirt with a heavy sweater. And I saw him with a turban over a hood and heavy outer garment. So, I heard Aba ‘Imran al-Warkani saying to him: “O Aba ‘Abdillah! All of these clothes?” So, he laughed and said: “I cannot stand the cold,” and he would also wear the hood without a turban.”
al-Fadl bin Ziyad said: “I saw Abi ‘Abdillah in the summer wearing a shirt, trousers, and robe.”

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I saw Moses, Jesus and Abraham (on the night of my Ascension to the heavens). Jesus was of red complexion, curly hair and a broad chest. Moses was of brown complexion, straight hair and tall stature as if he was from the people of Az-Zutt."https://sunnah.com/bukhari/60/109
on page 76 of qadi iyads as-shifa it says"He is like the best of the men of dark complexion i have ever seen" < this was referring to Prophet Moses PBH
