Also those who count Meds as White while exclucing MENA people, are super biased because there is absolutely no reason to say that e. g. the Sicilians or the Maltese are White and Pashtuns or Arabs are not.

    Caucasoid is a way more objective term because it focuses on cranial features instead of culture and pigmentation.
    Referring to people overall by colors is super subjective and misleading other than as a description of skin and hair, and even then it’s highly exaggerated. Like you said there’s a lot of overlap. I prefer names rather than colors.

    The non-Europeans who are white or look white (is that the same thing?), does it tend to be just individuals in their family who looks white, maybe due to less exposure to the sun or special genes or mutations or a combination, or are entire families and communities white as well?

    It’s used a lot here in America and it basically just means white passing. No one here knows what actual Caucasians are.

    In most of the world Caucasian is synonymous with white isn’t it?

    So in previous quote you've contradicted me with something stating it as a fact and now you are asking if something you've said is true???????
    Most of world don't even know about that term.

    Do you even know the right meaning of the word?
    If you ask a European about this word he will mention logically this...

    I guess individuals for ex parents can be dark haired with dark eyed and one or 2 kids is white with fair hair and light eyes.
    though there's families in Syria and Iraq that looks entirely white
    The famous anasala family they r Syrian

    Ex parents? Oh you mean example don’t you?

    Parents can be dark haired and skinned with kids who aren’t?

    If families are white then it should be genetic, like of special ancestry?

    sorry yeah I mean for example.
    I think it's because ppl in colder places develop lighter traits than the others that's why Syrians and north Iraqis Arabs\kurds have very big chance to be white compered to other mena? even ppl that lives in the mountains develop light traits like some Yemenis\berbers\Pakistani.
    I don't think its genetic because genetically they are native MENA just like the olive skinned ones.
