re: #96 b_sharp

What exactly defines ‘white’? Is it simply the skin colour? Does religion, or cultural heritage also figure in? Are Italians white because they are Christian, or because Italy is part of the EU?

Can someone from the ME be classed as white?

Not subjectively. It means Northern European. Catholics will do if they are from Germany and if they are clean and orderly, but in general it does not extend to dark-skinned Europeans from Spain or Southern Europe, and generally does not cover most Eastern Europeans…

This is not a textbook definition or anything, I am just trying to sum up the bigots’ definition of those folks they would include in their ideal “white” race.
