To me are white.
Arabs and most Middle-Easterners are of a light brown tone, not really White but they are still Caucasoids.

The strong man of physical anthropology C. Loring Brace noted that although groups like the Aetas of the Phillipines & the Andaman Islanders have links to each other and the Papuans, with the exception of the hair, they have just as much if not more "phenetic affinity" or family resemblance to their respective South & South East Asian neighbors, again these last 2 groups were often referred to as tawny/bazzane or negro/noir/black and the n-word by the colonialists.

The eugenic Nordicists (quite frankly the slaves and dependents can be just as bad if not worse than massah) want to destroy this natural gradation and biodiversity.

They are obsessed and driven by that disgusting plantation culture (particularly the U.S. variant of the Americas) which is the ideological basis for ONE WORLD GUBBERMENT.

Crypto-Maoists and others that follow the tradition of the Founding Fathers of Bandung Positive Neutrality/Non-Alignment or Lenin should not forget they would not sacrifice national sentiment or tribe (A Compleat History of the Pyratical States of Barbary, pg. 44) for ridiculous notions of some global plantation utopia.

The up and coming generations need to remember the Maoist Cultural Revolution against plantation bureaucratization and the Maoist/Afro-Asian Asabiyesta En Lai.

It's crazy how wrong this is. In Asia and Africa skin colour sadly still matters a lot and is constantly a topic, so is race. In Europe it is way more progressive and people start to call out sexism and racism more and more and it keeps growing to call such issues out. I hope this "calling out" can spread, because some of the hatred I have seen towards certain races from people in Asia or Africa made my jaw drop.

The difference is that European/American media actually cares about racism, so when something racist happens you will see it 3 weeks all over the news, whereas in other countries media you won't see it because it is still socially accepted. Thus creating a completely wrong image and bubble in your head, meanwhile it's all actually the other way around.

I recommend travel more, meet people from all across the world, live with them, it's amazing. Then you can see for yourself.

(I'm black btw, before someone comments "surely a white man said this", I'm way too used to that. Saying this racist comment towards whites would just prove my point anyways, but a lot of people don't even understand)

We re 37% Asian here now and most are from India, working in tech. Many, if not most are considerably darker skinned than the typical African.

It's nearly 10 years since the OP posted, and people are still conflating Indo-European people from South Asia with Africans and African-descended people.....why? Because of skin color?

In North America everybody is a minority except Northern Europeans who are designated to be White.This makes Whites the new minority .
This new fact won't effect the census the Government takes, since somebody has to be the Boogy man and its been determined its White Northern Europeans in the US and Canada.

Now that the internet has deemed me to be black, I am free to say that you chromatically obsessed honkies and ******s need to go get a brain.
Best post in this brain dead thread. I'm Indian and Black, B****ES! Respect! I'll slap a fool who says otherwise. A bunch of dumb randos who've probably never picked up a (recent) book about archaeogenetic and anthropology told me so.

Italians, Spanish, Portuguese, Greeks, Albanians, Serbians, Russians, Ukrainians, Romanians... The Lebanese went to court in the USA and won to establish themselves as a white people. These are some and their descendants that are considered whites in the USA. Are any of those countries in Northern Europe?

Even the Jews began to be considered whites. The USA has a history of changing who is considered white.

On the other hand, the USA has become one of the main countries where you can be born a male, take hormones and/or subject yourself to certain plastic surgery, perhaps even wear a wig and if you say you're a woman; the law says you are. They even change your drivers license, allow you in women bathrooms, etc in the land of Washington, Lincoln, and Obama.

If you wake up one day and start to say you are a cat, well... Welcome to the USA of the 21st century.

and why they never got the classification as "black" when they too come in the same shades as the people do in Africa

Actually Kamala Harris was raised by her Indian mother and therefore she is black.
