Are Southern Europeans considered white in United States?
I think that Ryan Le Blanc generally is correct - any European, today, is considered “white” - country of origin not withstanding.Previously, in the 19th Century, anyone who wasn’t Angle Saxon Protestant wasn’t considered “white” either - so, as Ryan mentioned that ruled out the Catholic countries in Europe: Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland and it ruled out Greece - whose citizens tend to be Orthodox. And, of course, the Jews - no matter how assimilated they were into German or English culture.That being said, there is a disturbing turn of events in the USA today - and the restive minority who have deeply held prejudice against anyone they see as not “white” - again Angle Saxon and Protestant - are once again the “other.”Now the Latin countries are making up the current wave of immigration to the United States, mostly south of the US border and these particular bigots don’t care to differentiate between a Spaniard and a Mexican - seeing both as somehow diluting the “white” nationalism. Same is true of the Portuguese, because Brazil I guess. And, they just don’t understand the Greeks, and the Italians are Catholic and the Jews can’t be trusted. The stereotypical tropes are being played up again and again. All fired up by the racist rants of the President elect during the election and a renewed sense of entitlement that they feel is being unleashed by the newly recognized Alt-Right movement that carefully cultivated the malcontents over the years.Make no mistake - this is the vocal minority. The vast majority of Americans are not embracing the renewed biases. And, the vast majority of Americans see all Europeans regardless of their country of origin, as “white.”
Why are north africans middle easterns considered white?
Genetically they are caucasians,that's why. 'White' is a stupid term, no one is 'white' or they'd look like a freakin' ghost, just as no one is yellow,and black folk are various shades of brown. Your race is determined not by what precise colour you are but that little thing called DNA combined with bone structure of your skull. Btw, when people entered Europe from the near and middle east in the second great migration at the advent of (in the neolithic, beginning c10,000 years ago), there were already light haired,fairer skinned people among them,and the mutation for blue eyes may already have occurred. for instance many people today in places like Iran have fair hair and blue eyes. Ever considered for a second that most of the 'brown' skin is caused by a sunny climate? I tan, if I moved to say, Spain, I'd soon be brown. I'm dark haired,and yeah, i've been mistaken for a Turk and a Tunisian! calling us all caucasoid is good enough I would have thought to encompass the variations.
What is a Eurasian and is it considered white?
A Eurasian person is anyone who has ancestry from any European ethnic group and any Asian ethnic group. You can be half, one fourth, one eighth, not know the exact amount, etc. If one of the ethnic groups in your family originates from Europe and another ethnic group originates from Asia, then that is what you are. I'm Eastern European and Central Asian, so I'm one, myself. And no it is not considered "White". "White" is a misleading and fake term, I don't use it unless I'm talking to Americans. Whether you are Eurasian or not depends on what kind of Tatar you are. Tatars are a very diverse group of people, some are entirely Asian, some are partially Asian and some are not Asian at all.
Why are East Asians seen as a different race with Whites even though they have a similar skin complexion?
Look, I have round eyes, no visible ‘Asian’ epicanthal folds, an elevated nose and a face that isn’t too wide, and trust me when I say that I am seen as no less “foreign-looking” to white people. In fact, I would be incredibly surprised if people saw my ethnic heritage as anything other than Asian. East Asian definitely, Southeast Asian sure, even Central Asian occasionally, but I don’t think many people would mistake me for being non-Asian.Asians are perceived as a different race because race is largely a social construct reinforced by centuries of othering. I have seen Chinese people with the exact same skin complexion as some white Britons (no, no yellow tinge there), and I have seen Hungarians and Finns with the kind of hooded lids and narrower eyes commonly associated with people of East Asian heritage. So it’s not like you can definitively say that certain features belong to one ‘race’ over another. The only reason why someone like me and others of the same ethnic background as me are classified as a different ‘race’ is because somewhere along the line, society decided that people with a certain subset of physical features similar to mine were to be classified as something different to what they viewed as ‘white’. Who knows … if people in the past had seen East Asia as an extension of Europe (joined together by Mother Russia), I might be considered ‘white’ today.Maybe.But since that isn’t the case, I’ll go on ticking ‘Asian/Asian British - Chinese’ on census forms, and people here in Europe are going to continue to see me the way they have always seen me - as someone different to them, of a different racial background.
What skin color do Asians (everyone east of Turkey) actually have?
The extent that East Asians go to to whiten their skin are sometimes exaggerated in the media. Skin whitening products have little effect if your natural skin tone is dark, and sunscreens honestly do more. Skin bleaching is dangerous and just not that common.Here's my suggestion: take a look at the students in each region. Students tend to have a natural skin tone, because they get out regularly and use less cosmetic due to strict school rules. The ladies in general have lighter skins than guys, and everyone seems to have lighter skin in their childhood.Korean students at valedictory.Korean students taking a group photo.Korean students at a cram school, I think.Japanese students taking a group picture. I must say, they’re taking the V sign too far.More Japanese students…Japanese and Chinese students in a group photo together ↑Northern Chinese students (Beijing) with their teachers. By the way, one of them is not Chinese, and the second girl from the left is too pale even by White people standards…Students in Beijing, wearing their new uniforms.Hong Kong students (Southern Chinese) at valedictory.Hong Kong students in the street after school.Vietnamese students.In general, Koreans are paler than Japanese and Northern Chinese, but some Northern Chinese can be very pale as well. Southern Chinese are darker, followed by the Vietnamese, but still considered to have a light skin tone compared to the rest of Southeast Asia and the Pacific islanders. However, the population in Southeast Asia and the Pacific is way more diverse, so you sometimes spot people who look different.Students in the Philippines back to school.Thai students in Bangkok.Indonesian students.Malaysian students, but a lot of the teachers in the front are expats.
Are Romanians white?
NoAccording to Swedish progressives who have the divine right to racify they are not.This black girl have been accused if being a traitor of her race (the black race. Obvious she is black because she is Romanian). Her betrayal consists in not advocating socialism.—/ Who is black in Europe /—Racification is a concept that might seem strange but is it build upon American racism. The American idea is that all black people, defined as a person who have some ancestry among the people that came to the USA as slaves, are oppressed. This might seem strange but a black student on a university like Harvard should be considered oppressed and be pited while a white unemployed white women in West Virginia should be considered a privilleged brat.Because in the USA race is everythingWhen US-theories about race are imported into Europe they make no sence. We have not had skavery for 700–1000 years. Slavery has never been connected to racism. Thus American ideas that all black are oppressed has been turned around. Progressives in Europe have decided that everyone that is oppressed is black. ExamplesAll muslim are labeled black. Some are white but there are people who dislike muslims so that makes all muslims blackEveryone in Europe that is born outside of Europe are labeled black. Some people outside Europe are white but there are people who dislike immigrants so that makes them black. This goes for their children as well. They are black as well.—/ Are Romanians white? /—Romanians are, at least mostly, not muslims. They are not born outside of Europe.If you follow the two basic rules for racification you could believe that Romanians would not qualify as black. Obviously that is not enough.Alice Teodorescu is a very succesfull political analyst. The progressive hate her. Or they do not. The progressives do not hate. When they call her Husblatte they are not commiting hate speach. They just inform that she as not white (Blatte is a word like the N word) are betraying the non-white people by serving the white masters.When she is depicted as a vampyr that is not racism but just funny. (GERTRUD LARSSON: Alice Teodorescu måste tåla satir). After all she is white and there can be no racism against white women. Or wait. Is she white?
Why do western people look much older than Asians at the same age?
Generally speaking, Asians eat a healthier diet than Westerners. Asians such as the Chinese insist on fresh food. Americans don’t. Asian food is definitely healthier because it is more Paleolithic—that is to say, they often eat fish and other seafood prepared sashimi style. Sashimi style means eating raw fish, squid, and lobster. Second, eating Asian food means eating SMALLER portions of healthy food. In Okinawa there is a saying that they “eat until you are 80% full.” Third, Asians often eat meat as a side dish and not as a main course such as in the Korean dish “Bi Bim Bop.” (Founding Father Thomas Jefferson advocated much the same thing more than two hundred years ago.) Fourth, when Asians eat desert, they will serve a very tiny portion of, for example, cake, and not a fistful portion. Fifth, the Japanese consume on average 12.5mg daily of iodine by eating seaweed. This is extremely healthy for your thyroid. (Many Americans have undiagnosed and untreated thyroid problems as described in the New England Journal of Medicine as far back as 1957!) Last, according to the scholarly Harvard book, “Okinawan Diet,” researchers found that 100-year-old Okinawan women had higher levels of hormones such as testosterone than 70-year-old American woman, and this effect was caused by diet and exercise.
