This retarded thread should have been closed since its creation.
It's even sadder if you have in mind the thread was opened by a supermod...

Obvious troll thread is obvious. I cast my votes because I was bored, mostly.
Anyways, shit like "white" doesn't really matter in an European context.
I am Scottish and British, not just "white". It's a nebulous term, to say the least, although I still use it sometimes just for convenience's sake. As an ethnocentrist and an idealist (albeit a pretty cynical one), I care about preserving my own people as an ethnic group, and not some nebulous, mongrelised, vague "whiteness". A Pole is not a Scot, for example. Really, using your skin colour as the in-group is a very American thing. Over here, our in-groups are along ethno-tribal lines. I don't see why that should change.
Everyone has different standards for "whiteness", because every human being uses itself as the point of reference. To me, Northwestern Europe would be the "whiteness" norm (insofar as I even think about "white" at all), even if it wouldn't be objectively true. If a Northwest Euro like myself tries to label countries as "white" or "non-white", it's inevitable that Eastern and Southern Europe will be caught in some middle-ground (because there are some natives there that look "weird" to us). To me, even a wee country like Bulgaria is very racially diverse, and can produce both gorgeous blondes like that tourist I met last weekend and gypsy-mongoloid-orangutang hybrids like Feuerfrei.
Erm, have you been living under a rock the last years?
I don't know whether to shake my head at your sad ignorance, or to envy you because there's seemingly still places in Scotland that haven't been invaded by Mordid's kinsmen yet.

I ticked off all the European groups and also the Caucasians, Anatolians, Northern Near Easterners [Levantines & Iranians]. I also included the North African countries although I do not consider all NAs "White".
This term [White] is not just a problem, but a problematic. It needs to be explained properly. If we are strictly talking about physical appearance, then the criteria should be as follows: possessing Caucasoid/Europid skeletal/craniofacial traits and skin color levels between #1 to #18 on the Von Luschan Scale.
However, "White" is usually reserved for cultural [primarily], religious, geographical territory encompasssing peoples of European background.

IMO
White:West Europe/North Europe/CentralEurope/EastEurope/Balkans
Half White:South Europe(Iberians,Italians,Greeks,Maltese,Cypriots)
NonWhite:the rest.

Agreed. I went to school with a Cretan (European) guy who everyone treated like a mexican because of his olive toned skin.
On the other hand, I know many Turks and Jews who call themselves "white" completely unchallenged
Cases like this show that the term "white" is clearly failing in it's original purpose- to designate people of European Descent.
Now that's a bit uncalled for, mate.mutant gypsy-mongoloid-orangutang hybrids like Feuerfrei
