Are MENA White?

[SweetCandy]

According to the U.S. Census Bureau they are.

Discuss.

No they aren't, a small minority could pass as white (thanks to DNA recombination) but that's about it.

Aren't MENA Caucasians?

Aren't MENA Caucasians?

Yes, but we're not Europeans. While all Europeans are Caucasoids not all Caucasoids are Europeans or Whites.

[Rabbit Hole]

Those of Semite descent no. Those of East Med and Berber descent yes.

Aren't MENA Caucasians?

Exactly what I said North Mesopotamia at it's height had Cro Mag Eastern Mediterranean races of people dominating those regions. Same as Turkey and the coastal parts of North Africa.

Those of Semite descent no. Those of East Med and Berber descent yes.

Jews are far whiter than Turks and they're Semites. At least the ones in America.

Jews are not 100% they are heavily mixed with Europeans

"White" is a geo-political term. Not even some MENA can pass as "white".

It has not much to do with DNA recombination either. It's not like they have allot of a ancestry that has proven to not be able to produce fairer features.

You can't simply cherry pick out those you like as white. Just like you couldn't contest the white-ness of very brown or very asiatic looking people of European origin now could you?
Light skin doesn't make you white. Once again because it is a geo-political thing. Otherwise some Asian would be white wouldn't they?

Most importantly who gives a damn?

I bet OP is a sockpuppet of that banned Lebanese (or Jewish, or wathever he is) guy.
