Middle eastern people being considered white is a purely american thing where there’s black and white dominates the entire conversation

That’s cap bro it’s definitely more advantageous to put Hispanic on your college application than Caucasian

those people are white tho

white in society = of majority european decent

it’s rly not that complicated

Just western? The Scandinavians are somehow even a few shades whiter than the British isle descendants

Southern a few shades darker

Eastern just harrier

Yeah I guess everyone except eastern europeans they might be Mayonnaise colored but their culture is way different and they get discriminated heavily by OG cacs

wite population dying down so everybody white now
pitbull white in 2021

i hate spicy whites acting like they dont benefit from white privilege !!!!!

I dunno my gf is czech descended and she looks like barbie and her dad looks like George Burns

And I took a train all around Europe a couple times and if anything the southern countries like Spain seem like another world

I’d agree

I’m saying they look white but culturally remind me much more of middle eastern people than what we consider C**

Eastern Europe held on to Eastern Orthodox Christianity rather than adopting Western sects for the most part, and the Balkans in particular were heavily influenced by first the Eastern Romans (who in Medieval times the West saw as “Oriental”) as well as the Ottomans, so that’s part of it too. There’s a cultural Latin/Greek divide a lot of historians see as the two spheres of influence that differentiates Western and Eastern Europe

No, they are white in my country too (we have the largest Middle Eastern population in the world outside the Middle East). They look no different than Mediterranean Europeans.

All I know is Jews are white people to me.

WASP

white

Arabs and North Africans aren’t white

They don’t look white either except some exceptions

They probably meant that they aren’t milque toast white american bcus the connotation w that is that they have no connection to their culture but this person as a first gen immigrant clearly didn’t feel that applies to him but Spaniards are clearly still white Europeans lol

OG cacs

Also we either need to do away w categories or higher better specialists to make it accurate

This especially true for old and new world populations like Latin America, africa and the middle east

The middle eastand north african
for example is just racially what the Americas is but instead of mixing for 300 years they been mixing for thousands of years

You’ve got black yemenis, egyptians, moroccans. You’ve also got berber moroccans, arab north africans etc and they all mixed up w each other to varying degrees

It’s insane to classify them as simply arab/white

Rome is the essential to understanding the modern Caucasian. That's the hey day of their reign. America is the extension of the Greco-Rome rule. This then branches into the Renaissance era with Christopher Columbus. The rebirth of the Wild Men who left the Russian Steep and invaded The British Isles and other European Countries.

What classifies a Caucasian to me imo is the term Idumean's and Edomites. There was a Roman Historian Claudius who called the Roman's Edomites. (If I remember, I'll cite this maybe tomorrow or somethin)

When it comes to social status, white and black are classes and not DNA lineage. "White" is a skin tone and class just as "black" is.

White Collar, Blue Collar. Classes. Even the word Blue Man, is synonymous with the term Negro. White Collar vs Blue (Negro) Collar. This war we're having is nuanced.

As noted here. The etymology of the word Negro.

for the sake of cultural differences, all pale people aren't white. for the sake of privileges in the united states, full english speaking fair skinned people are white and can reap advantages that come with it

Lmao what a snowflake
