Why aren't the Sephardic Jews considered white?

Because they are descended from North Africans and Middle Eastern people. The Sephardim from Spain and Portugal can be up for debate, but it's a stretch. Here's a good resource on the differences between Ashkenazim and Sephardim:

How would you define white? There are a variety of white ethnic groups and each white ethnic group is different than the other sorts of whites. For example if you were to analyze the DNA of people who were ethnically Finnish you would find they are unique from other whites. Or if you were to analyze the DNA of people who were among the Celtic peoples of the British Isles you would find they were ethnically different than other whites.
So the fact that jews are genetically unique from other whites doesn't make them non-white because other ethnicities of white people are genetically unique from other white peoples.
Or if you are claiming jews are not white because some of them are pro-diversity well there are some white gentiles who are pro-diversity too. And not all jews are pro-diversity.
I just wonder what your criteria is for judging them not to be white.
If you look at the history of Europe it consists of white people slaughtering each other for thousands of years. Does the fact that English people went to war against many sorts of European nations mean that English people are not white? During the course of history many white nations have competed against each other in various ways and yet at the end of it all everyone agrees that the various European nations are white.
And so even if you believe that jewish people are a hostile nation, and personally I do not think jews as a whole are intrinsically hostile(though some of them may be hostile just as people of other white nationalities may be hostile),.... but even if that is what you think.... that should not disqualify jews from being white.

Above is a picture of jewish model Bar Rafaeli. She looks white to me. Maybe some jews aren't white but there certainly are some jews that are white. I am not going to guess what percentage are white but many of the ones I have seen in America are white.
