People of color on The Apricity

[eastern]

I was just curious about this for a long time. So the apricity is obviously eurocentric and focused on europe but the forum has quite a lot of non European/non White members (who especially dominate anything genetics, anthropology or taxonomy related on here). And something we can't deny is that the majority of the European folk on here are right-wing in some degree. Now I'm not saying all right-wingers are anti-POC and thus racist, but in many european countries being right wing means you prefer your own white ethnicity to dominate and most are anti immigrants.

So I was wondering, and maybe this is a HORRIBLE comparison, but what do the European/White American folk on this forum think of anyone non European/non White/non American on here? Does our presence annoy you, do you feel hatred, are you "fine" with it or do you have no problem with it at all?

I don't care as long as you're a decent person, European or not.

I dont care as long you're not OWD.

I don't really care if we can have respect each other, the same thing if you're European or Not European.

owd is someone who isnt fully white but really wants to be white, right? i see some people posting their pictures for classification and really try to push their white features in the hopes of them being classified as white. or west asians who really try to show how white and indo european/aryan they are. that's what you mean right?

What the fuck is a person of color? I never understood that term lol, I find it silly, as white, olive skin is also a color

None the less, I don't care they are all welcome. Especially is they have European heritage in them, just as myself.

I see person of color as anyone non-white. Technically it doesn't make sense because not every non-White/non-European person has a tan or is colored. I see White as everyone with local European genes (and those genes dominate, also phenotypically) and a person of color is anyone that isn't of White European descent.

Chinese, Nigerians, Cherokee, Indians, Kazakhs, Indonesians, Somalis, Peruvians...to me they're all people of color, even when some of them are pale. I see it as a lack of European genes.

Scottisch, Finnish, Russian, French, Italian, Albanian are all White to me unless they appear non European and have for example MENA genetics.

The terms white and people of color are really hard to fully explain and the meaning is different for everyone but for me i see white as european descended and people of color as non european. It might be different for someone else though.

As a POC, I vote for us to stay, as long as civility and good sport is preserved.

So ALL europeans are POC, since yamnaya themselves were almost half CHG (brown/West Asian component) and modern euros have minor WA input from them.

Also, why do you talk only about MENA genetics? do you consider, for example, ANE/Siberian to be a white component? LOL.
