    "White" is not a useful term due to the lack of a single accurate definition, however it is most commonly used to describe people of unadmixed European ancestry. Magrebhis do not fit that definition.

    I repeat this as a mantra from years: ask to someone who live in a country filled with magrebi (France, north Italy, Spain, the Netherlands) if they're ''white euros'' or not...and the repoly is only one.

    The ''europeaness'' of Maghreb is one of the funniest myth of the antroboards.
    That's what I keep sayin all the time ^^

    The problem is that when someone says white, he ususally means Europeans ....in that case, no they arent white :nono: ...but if we only mean colorwise...then ok.

    Well, obviously the term White in the Western context has primarily been used to denote European ancestry. It is irrelevant what the complexion of the person really is. For example, many of my family members have a milky White complexion and they are probably a closer approximation of "White" in color than many "White" people I see. But obviously they are Chinese genetically and not European, so they are not "White" in the Western social context.

    For example, Chinese-American actress Lucy Liu is VERY pale, but her features are still blatantly Chinese:

    Yes they don't look European even when they are light skinned, the idea that they are European look a like is a joke.Most of them are just localized North African Caucasoid. The same is true with Levantines but they have an easier time to pass in Europe but on an individual level as they have some shared ancestry due to the Neolithic. The same can also said about Iran to. The only area that has somewhat of European looks and culture is Turkey.

    True.
    There are more levantine (Syrians or Lebanese christian or some palestinans) who can pass as exotic europeans than people from maghreb...with notable exception (like Zidane), of course...the truth is that the average maghrebi (even if they always deny this) has a subsaharian admisture derived from the Almohad slave trade from ancient Mali to the Imperial Cities of Morocco, and due to the dark skinned Touaregh in Saharawi.
