Are Turks White?

What about Portuguese and Lebanese people?
Do you think Portuguese and Lebanese people are considered white in northern Europe?
I have seen some people saying on the internet that Iberians are not white, so I wonder how people from northern Europe see Iberians.

Only in phenotype, and even that is questionnable.

They are a mix between europeans, levantines and asiats. Ancients turks were asiats and cousins of mongols, but they mixed with anatolian population and received converted peoples from balkans too. There is a turkish ethnicity , but no turkish race, at least in modern Turkey.

What's the definition of white? Light skinned? Or a race group who we call 'white'? I think the question is asked wrong.

I think white = European for them.
They say Portuguese are white, even they being mixed and and yet they do not consider Turks white who are also mixed.

In this question, there is no no, nor a yes. As I said, the question is asked wrong in my opinion.

They're the crossroads between the middle east and Europe so it seems fairly obvious that some are and many aren't, depending on their ethnic makeup and origin.

Culturally, I believe them to be more middle eastern but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

None of the three options are applicable IMO.
