Why aren't Indians seen as white?

Frizzy hair is more desired than nigger noses.

Indians are dark caucasoids to me , even South Indians are pred caucasoid from my experience

Because they aren't white

I have come to a conclusion. Indians are a mulatto race. They are the rape products of white Nordics and Australoid people.

It doesn't matter if Indians have non-Caucasoid mix. They're mostly Caucasoid physically and genetically it's a worthless term. Lighter skin they he Middle Easterners may have, but they are still far darker than most white European people including the Southerners and based on the stereotypes most people have of them I am surprised how the US government deems them white.

It's because, during the late 19th century, Christian Levantine immigrants in the U.S. lobbied the federal government to classify them as "White" (in order to gain citizenship). Considering that Levantines are far more phenotypically and genetically Europoid than Indians, the inclusion of "MENAs" into the Caucasian category was more feasible.

However, had non-Levantine "MENAs" attempted to gain white-based citizenship, I believe census classifications would only consider European-descendants Caucasian.

Thats what I was thinking must have happened. Some Christian Leventines with a lighter complexion must have campaigned hard to get themselves classified as "white" and as a result all MENAs must have been accepted as such.
Even normal Levantines would fall outside of being proper "white". Like these, are not really white.



Let alone these Egyptians.
