So if Armenians are white, does that mean i'm full? What would you consider me?
Just curious

In the US - yes, you'd be considered "white."
In Russia - not so much)))

The Caucasian race is a grouping of human beings historically regarded as a biological taxon, which, depending on which of the historical race classifications used, have usually included some or all of the ancient and modern populations of Europe, the Caucasus, Asia Minor, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, Western Asia, Central Asia and South Asia.

So by this definition you are pure white.

Well it's a made up term that is several hundred years old. The term "white race" or "white people" entered the major European languages in the later 17th century, in the context of racialized slavery and unequal status in European colonies. The concept was imported to all of the Americas (not just the USA).

Shortly after WWII scientists began to show conclusively that the whole idea of dividing up humanity into broad sub-species has no scientific basis. While there are obvious physical differences between different people, they constitute more of a spectrum that three or five basic sub species.

So in that sense, you are looking for an answer that has no scientific basis.

OP, Armenians aren't Middle Easterners. They're Indo-Europeans. They often blend in with Russians, and are taken to be Russians. It depends, but...yeah.

European is a made up term that is mainly important in Europe.

A Greek person will say they are European like a Swede and balk at being called Middle Eastern even though many elements of their day to day culture and even genetics, are familiar to that region.

'European culture' used to refer to the languages, traditions, and practices of distinct, if distantly related, tribal groups. But today it refers to a rich tapestry of healthcare models, subsidized university education, currency bullying, and passportless travel.

I always thought it was x = log{[53 + (34-12x)] / [cos(65 -7x) + sin (41pi)]}

Unfortunately, a variable cannot be a function of itself :]

Let's rewrite your function MWR:
MilkyWayResident(y) = log((53 + (34-12x)) / (cos(65 -7x) + sin (41pi)))

With x=6.74 we end up roughly around 0.3 which is expressed as a percentage, more or less the value I computed (30%) !

Fascinating ! I guess OP has a good and comfy function to compute his europeanness. With x being the ratio of white pixels / black pixels on his images.

Clear enough I guess.

I can't believe I made such a silly mistake, I meant to write f(x)
