White should be included to them as well, especially if they look Mediterranean! Of course, I am not arguing they are European because they are not! Just that technically speaking, they are white!


By the way, very few Meditteraneans have the pale look, otherwide they will burn in their hot summers. They usually have fair (not pale), olive, or light tan complexions to give better protection from their hot summer days and can tan quite nicely unlike some pale NORTHERN Europeans.

Anyway, the correct term should be European or Middle Eastern, if you want to specify which group of white people you mean!
No it shouldn't include them! You are making it as if being White is "better", oh well it isn't. Yes all Whites are Caucasoids but not all Caucasoids are Whites. Firstly the first Caucasoids were not fair-skinned as Europeans are today. As modern humans left the tropical or much warmer regions of the world to settle in much colder regions, they became progressively became lighter. This was advantageous in order to absorb Vitamin D more efficiently in a colder climate and eventually gave way to white or pale skin. Europeans became pale only roughly only about 8,000 years ago, so that only when the term White becomes appropriate. This most likely started in the northern lands of Russia and Sweden and then spread throughout Europe. Eye depigmentation is older than skin depigmentation. Blue eyes are roughly 10,000 years old, the first mutation took place in the Black Sea region of Europe and spread from there. Europe is the continent, where the maximum depigmentation of eye, hair and skin is found, thus we call Europeans and their descendants all over the world as Whites. Middle-Easterners might be relatively lighter-pigmented than many other non-Europeans but that doesn't make them Whites in the proper sense of the word.

Middle Easterns would technically be considered white (especially those from the Levant area or certain Iranian regions). Mostly in The Mediterranean sense with skin tone varying to being very light to tan.


And Muslims are not a race! They are followers of a religion!

They are white, caucasian, western, they have been civilized at least one or two thousand years before western Europe. They are going through hell, just like Europe not a long time ago.

Nobody uses the "white " stuff in Europe, only some "cracker" American media that mixes religion with colours and don't quite grasp history, medieval characters that beieve that the world is a walmart in Nebraska.

Where I live, it's colloquially considered that Middle Easterners (or sometimes called "Muslims") are grouped with Turks, Iranians and Pakistanis. It's an American thing to consider them "white".

Wrong. They are considered Caucasoids on census true, not White. People refer to them as Middle-Easterners. We know who White folks are! O.K.! Stop lying on Americans.

No they aren't! White or truly fair skin originated in Northern Europe in Sweden about 7,700 years ago and then spread progressively throughout Europe.

Americans and their white paraphernallia, nobody uses the concept of white other than americans, aussies and other peoples with zero culture and history. A black british man is more european and has more in common with ethnic european people than a "white" american or australian, FACT.

They are regarded as white on the census. Caucasoid is not a census category.

I think there should be a separate category for Middle East/North African descended people. Though there are some who can pass as white.
