Actualy it's impossible to tell the real appearence of the Harkonnen cause it's fiction and no one wrote how they look exactly... Only Ordos have asian features cause they live on a ice world  ;) ( But don't think that I have asian features lol )

Enviroment have huge infuence on appereance. Like there where is a lot of sun people have dark skin and living there where is lack of sun have blue eyes and fair hair. People living on the North have asian like eyes, becouse its protecting eyes from sun`s blinks on snow and ice. But true, Ordos may have different appereance, its not Earth.

Becouse they haven`t much dark pigment in skin and eyes. People that are living in the farest North could went there from Tibet or somewhere different cold asian place. People living in place when snow is most of time, had protecting eyelids.

I think the Ordos are bit of half asian and half western. Their cloth style looks alot like the "old" asian empires. Jewels, fancy clothing.

Although they don't have the genetic appearance of a Asian.

Ordos are game house and don`t appear in book. I mean in real Dune book. And about Roma, mentats are take from mentat`s school, and she isn`t Ordos. Ordos could have asian look or nordic look becouse of character of their planet. But nobody knows.

Ordos do have asian features cause they live on an ice world, I mean have you ever walked the land where everything is pure white - I did and I hardly kept my eyes opened....

One thing about the Harkonnen is sure - they are white people cause the " toxical shield " lol that covers the Giedi Prime never alows any solar beams to pass through ;)

Snow has nothing to do with Asian's. The Ordos clothes  has Asian's appearance. Thats what i think then.

And btw you forgot that the Harkonnen are living on a Hot world. Their skin's are like brown or tanned.

Dark features what the do you mean by dark features? Do you make reference to their skin tone? Do you not think Frank Herbert borrowed from the arabic culture enough to also make the Fremen culture arabic influenced to a certain degree.

            From what I've read in Frank and Brian Herbert's books, the Atreides look like Greeks or Spaniards to me. They have a greek name. If you've read the Illiad you'll know that Agamemnon and Menelai, the famous Greek kings, were called the "Atreides brothers". Also, athe Atreides of Dune's universe have Spanish customs, like bullfighting...

             Anyway, they look like they have a Mediterranean origin.

And the Atreides dare to call themselves diplomatic and peaceloving. They are hurting those poor bulls.  ;D

One thing is still confusing me. I heard that Ordos "was" mentioned, some people claims it. But i'm not sure.
