'White' = Pale Skin?

Only Caucasian Ancestry

I never really understood how people define the term 'White'.

The definition of "White" is also highly dependent on your country or culture.
In some Latin American countries like Brazil for example, Whiteness is absolutely defined by your skin color.

(Which is funny because there are Castizos who have a lighter skin tone than some pure Iberians. By that logic, the Castizo would be considered "white" while the swarthy Spanish/Portuguese person wouldn't)

​

yes,

White people have pale skin I. and II. type
Swarthy people have swarthy skin III. and IV. type​

"White people have pale skin I and II and Swarthy people have swarthy skin III and IV = Benjamin Franklin theory

"White people have pale skin I, II to swarthy skin type III and IV = Universal theory

Yamnaya and it's genetically preponderant descendants, as opposed to its fractional descendants, although Euros in the latter are occasionally indistinguishable from the former, possibly because PIEs separated from Meds untold thousands of years ago. This is sometimes bolstered when a Med of impeccable ancestry has moderately pale sharply chiseled features on a rectangular skull, which may have predominated before readmixture with MENAs moving into southern Europe, they having possibly been the root population of Meds before separating into different races millenia earlier. I'm just postulating, of course.

Funny how some people consider yamnaya "white" itself, despite being half-west asian genetically
