in Hawaii they distinguish between regular Whites and Portuguese

[Mortimer]

Dont know why they need to mention Portuguese...the height alone makes it clear

maybe they want to be more specific maybe its not just for portuguese that they distinguish portuguese maybe they do that for others too like caucasian/russian or caucasian/german etc.

No...Portuguese are a distinct category, like 'gypsy' in the Balkans (roma are pred. caucasian too)...and with the same negative connotations, just 'diluted':

Because they (the Portugese) were second in command after the white people on the plantations. And they always referred to themselves as Pawdagees. They were under the haoles (white man) but above everyone else. They were the luna (boss), the paniolo, the guys on horseback who made everyone work. And with someone strict over them-some of them were really mean-the workers made jokes about them. That's why a high percentage of the jokes in Hawaii are directed towards the Portuguese community.

But below North Europeans...

Any immigrants are below the native population.

The portuguese in Hawaii were at first Cape Verdeans (which was Portugal until 1975). Later Madeirans and Azoreans came but they were always grouped with Cape Verdeans making them a distinct population.

Still a better description than when they are looking for a Zoomali suspect.

If the average Portuguese doesn't know shit about the 'moors' it's because the average Portuguese is a dumbass. It's not something to be proud of.

Sorry but this is not true. Moorish history in Iberia (I speak in their name of Portuguese because I guess there happens exactly the same than here in Spain) means nothing for 99,9999999999999% of the population.

99,9999999999999999% of the people dont know (nor they care) who were the Almoravids, the Almohads, Almanzor, Abderrhaman or Boabdil.
I even would claim 99% of the Iberian population dont know what the word Berber means, look what I am saying.

Who cares? Still way above niggers in the racial hierarchy.

This is what I was going to say. This black really sucks North European dicks. All what he cares is talking shit and underestimating non-North Europeans trying to equalize them with his inferior black race

But below North Europeans...

Besides being a very pathetic low-class comment which says a lot about yourself and your low self-esteem, that maybe works in North Europe, not in Portugal (where really cares), Spain and I guess the rest of South Europe.

I'm trying to imagine how this thread's author could be distinguished in the Hawaii

(Every step in this process is more hilarious than the immediately previous one)

I would probably be seen as Black or Portuguese

No...Im not European, so my commentary is as an outsider observing intra-European and extra-European dynamics. Europeans are, due to technological and scientific superiority on top of the global 'hierarchy'. But within this European niche, there is a vast gap (way way bigger gap than the one of European vs others) between North Europeans and South Europeans, particularly Iberians. Everywhere Iberians and North Europeans lived together outside of Europe...Iberians were on a bottom rung below the North Euro, and I just pointing this observation out...this is true whether the setting is Hawaii or South Africa.

What you want to do is make me focus on the European-vs-non European/African/SSA differences because that is an easy, emotional satisfying observation to make...when the bigger phenomona to observe is your middling position vis-a-vis Northerners.

If I want to kiss the ass of White massa, I wanna make each kiss count, so I dont want to waste an unneccessary 'ass kiss' of some brown Iberian woggy. Sorry, this is called research.

In few places out of Europe Iberians live togheter with North Euros. And where that happens what you claim does not work.
I am thinking in Argentina, Uruguay or Brazil. There happens exactly the opposite than what you are claiming.
