    There's definitely a distinctive Caucasoid race, but whether there is a White race is a lot more subjective.

    I prefer the term Caucasoid because there is an objective standard. The skull of a deal Georgian isn't going to be confused for that of a Negroid, etc.

    objective standard > subjective standard

    Georgians are white in my opinion. Chechens and the like are even moreso but are dumb as bricks.

    The reason I think Georgians are white is because I consider CHG a component connected to Europeans. CHG are closest to Caucasus peoples, but are closer to modern Northern Europeans than they are to MENA/SA people. They also have a very white phenotype which old school anthropologists deemed pleasant. However, I am wary of any culture which is muslim. Islam is seemingly a hotbed of dysgenics wherever it goes.

    that's because whitness is depending on how you look. A quardoon/octoroon or castizo will be socially treated as white if they look the part and their non white admix isn't visible.
    same for any white looking Caucasian or MENA.

    just like some native Europeans don't look white but exotic.

    That's why European is way better term. Everyone knows what that includes.

    north Caucasians are still way closer to other West Asians than to any Euros. Unless you mean PIE/steppic admix which they have unlike Georgians.
    But that's not specifically European thing (WHG admix is) since it's widespread all over central/south Asia and partially MENA, even if it peaks in Europeans and is main part of their genetic make up.

The objection to Turks by Europeans was traditionally because of their Muslim religion. I don't think many Turks emigrated to the American colonies though. Some did emigrate later in the late 19th and early 20th century and I think they were considered white socially and certainly legally, like in the census or for racial segregation purposes since in some states even East Asians or Amerindians were barred from marrying whites. I once read a book about American demographics and history by Nordicist Lothrop Stoddard and he wrote that US census classes Turks and Arabs(mostly Levantine I think) as white and he did not object to it.
    I think Gypsies were part of the "European" immigration to the USA since always, but I think they were not fully equal they lived in tents or something or in caravans, and roamed around, and there are anti-gypsy laws i think. Do you know anything about that? Also I think maybe some Gypsies could live normal but they had to go under their nationality, like if they are from Serbia they are "Serbian" but they could not be Gypsies?

    Yes, according to Carleton Coon for instance there were both British and Balkan gypsies in early 20th century and for sure much earlier. I don't think there were anti-gypsy laws, but I remember I read on wiki and posted here a quote from some Congressman in late 19th century who in Congress was warning his fellow Congressmen and Americans about gypsy crime and misbehavior (or of some gypsies I suppose). I also doubt anyone made the gypsies in America go about in caravans and live in tents. They did that themselves because that is what they did for generations in Europe. They probably did prefer to say they are Serbian, British or whatever 'cause even in America they were not well liked, but there probably was only extralegal discrimination by private citizens and organizations and not by the authorities or by law. Gypsies were classed as white in census always and socially I don't know what they were considered, but they were legally white which was an advantage since they were not subject to racial segregation. But back before the 1960s or 1970s most Latin Americans mestizos and the like (not so numerous then in the US) were also legally white and not subject to racial segregation, but there was some discrimination and they were not socially white. I think Gypsies were in a similar situation: legally white, but widely seen as inferior, though I am not sure if as non-white because Americans don't know too much about gypsies or even how they typically look like or so it seems to me.
