Who's Whiter? Finns or French?

[StonyArabia]

You haven't seen a lot of Brits, Frenchmen and Spaniards, have you ?

To be honest no I have not. Though this what genetics appear to be like, I did not mean to offend. I have seen French-Canadians but they have slightly different look.

Sicilian whiteness is never questioned in the USA. They may have a better idea on race than Finland.

LOL - The US has no idea about race. The US classifies kazakhs and uzbeks as caucasian, while it classifies afghans as asian. Furthermore, caucasian in addition is often used as a synonym for white, which is even more absurd, considering what people from the caucasus can look like.
Sicilian whiteness was questioned historically, and only when sicilians became white did this lead to people like george zimmerman also becoming accepted as white by some. It's the Slippery slope.

You live in Brazil, not America. I think I have a better idea on how things work here. How do you know who is typing that in anyways?

I have seen old family documents from around the 1920s and they were considered white back then. The USA has a better idea of whiteness because they don't view things through a lens of historical conflict, they take things as is.

Although, to be fair, many Americans were debating whether chechens should be considered white after the boston bombings, and chechens are whiter than sicilians.

Chechens are considered white in the USA if they are Americanized.

The US doesn't know what it's talking about when it places in mongoloid-admixed central asians as caucasians, while placing afghans into the asian category.

Furthermore, depending on the region and time, sicilians weren't always even placed in the caucasian category, sometimes sicilians were placed in the negro category in the census:

daedel1 started this thread so he could say the French were less white because of Neolithic admixture from North African Berbers, Even so white berbers are white and neolithic admixture is still European.

There is no consistency in that answer. Either a person is a member of a race (i.e. a select breed) or they aren't.
