Or we could even phrase it as "made out to be less European than they are" so as to include things like ideas re: North Eastern Europeans being Mongoloids, for instance..

Sorry guys, I thought I was in Nerwen's thread.
I'd say there's a difference between "white" and "White". The former term applies here. The reason it's capitalized in the title is because of grammatical reasons.
If you divide the Earth into a North and South, then all Europeans would be considered Northerners. And then someone can nitpick and say that Southwest Europeans can't be "Northwashed" because they're already Northerners.
The term "lightwashed" is most accurate if we want to get technical but I don't think the OP is hard to understand based on the context.
Swiss, Austrians, Belgians, all the peripheral continental germanics
We have had 10 years of threads about how non germanic the Brits are despite plotting with them genetically. Not a peep about these countries despite low steppe ancestry, low rates of blue eyes, no threads about how much med component they have, no threads about how close to Iberians they are
Bullshit. Saying the truth: that Iberians are not dark/exotic for European standards, and that their culture, genetics, phenotype, geography and climate are well into the European context, is not whitewashing them. Is the truth.
And southern Italians are more darkwashed on this forum than whitewashed.
This is what I think an average Spaniard looks like.
