White people

[Mortimer]

What do you consider a white person? Do you think you need to be 100% european or caucasoid to be White? Thats interesting because you dont need to be 100% african or asian or gypsy or indian or native american to be one of them often a quarter native american or gypsy ancestry or black ancestry is enough or a half asian ancestry etc.

I thought about it and i think white is someone who has visible european ancestry, that means who is not a visible foreigner in europe. usually when you see someone you know he looks or does not look white. and i think if you have a quarter non-euro or minority ancestry but you are visibly european you are still white like this quarter malaysian model english rose posted in a other thread.

thats my opinion. comment please.

"White" is a useless term.

[Arch Hades]

"White" is the phenotypical and genetic distance from NorthWestern Europe. NW Europeans are the standardized of White, everything that deviates from that is less White. Then you reach a point where the people start becoming absolutely non White and unasimilatable...Probably the Islamic world starts that IMO.

There's no such thing as 100% European, since all Europeans have significant Near Eastern ancestry, and some have other minor non-European blood too. In my opinion White just means the same as Caucasoid.

The way most people use the term "white", it's to refer to people of European descent.

[LightHouse89]

white= a person who is indigenous to Europe [a colonial term to distinguish differences from various other groups]. Caucasian= someone from Eurasia and Middle East/North Africa.

You are a Caucasian not a European [White person]. That's that.

Being white doesn't mean shit other than that. I don't understand why people who are non 'white' seem to be so anal and upset that they either are not white or are obsessed with this idea of debunking its meaning. Its so fucking simple a cave person could figure it out.

You are a Caucasian and not really indigenous to Europe. Get over yourself with this white thing. As if it even means anything to people who are 'white'. Being white doesn't win you a free cookie or soda at the mall or anything. Nobody here really gives a shit about being 'white' [I troll non Europeans with it but to be an asshole not being serious].

Mind you being Caucasian doesn't make people in any way feel special or some deep sense of kinship or anything. Just like being white doesn't make Europeans feel close kinship with one another. I don't get why the world has issue with this terms and blows them out of proportion. I blame the media and 'intellectuals' for all of it.

i didnt thought of myself as white though, its not about me. you misunderstood me, but thanks for your opinion and comment.

which is irrelevant whether they do or don't. they are still 'european' or white. these are terms to define populations for concensus purposes.

'oh but it be all about da biology an shitz'. No it has nothing to do with later scientific discoveries. 'Oh but dat be da truth and shitz'...no it isn't. Its simply a term to define broader groups living in a specific geographical location [or being descended from Europe!].

So easy a caveman like me can figure it out.

Caucasian is an even broader term. Like mongoloid [which encompasses aboriginal americans] or negroid [encompasses people who are primarily of African origins]. It isn't rocket science. It is what it is.

Why the world is so hung up on simple words is beyond me!
