Which white people? We are a very diverse group of people. All of us? Okay, but which ones? By whose definition? Turks and Arabs are considered part of the "white people." And I'm pretty damn sure no Turks or Arabs look like me. Latinos are considered "white people" but they are definitely not white people.
Are brown hair and brown eye'd but very white skinned people out, too? That's me. I'd be out.
So which white people are we talking about?
Well aren't they considered "non-White caucasians"? I would think Whites include basically all of Europe. To me "latinos" of mexican/s.american extraction are more abbo/Indian similar to Eskimo. but hey, I'm not a scientist, just a Poalie.
Skin color is irrelevant. European heritage is what people mean by "white".
If you're not from europe but have white skin, then you're not white.
Then you're going to accidentally include black people in your definition of white people, right? You agree with what I just said, right? So it has to be more specific than your definition.
Another definition I read was "Western Europeans." I can agree with that somewhat. But that is still not good enough.
You know very well which one, every single person in the world when White people are mentioned knows that it's White Europeans.
That's not good enough.
Some people from Spain are dark skinned (descendants of the Spaniards and Moors). Most Southern Italians are dark skinned.
If only white skin is the requirement, then that opens up the flood gates for lots of light-skinned, but obviously not actually what you would consider "white people", people.
So some specificity is definitely needed. I need to know which ethnicity groups people like you and the people in the video are referring to.
Wikipedia has been maintaining a great list, for years, to shop from, pick and choose, to determine a list. I've talked to others on Poal about who they consider "white" from that list. Obviously, no one agrees. It's like a pizza: not everyone can agree on the stuff they want on their pizza.

So if I show up to a white pride event and I bring an Armenian friend, perhaps half of the people there would think he or she is white and the other half will not. Many Armenians look white. Many look closer to Arab. Most countries considers them "white" in their census data. See the problem, now?
Add on that white people have been diluted for the last 3 centuries and it makes it even more difficult. One of my in-laws just found out he is 1/8 black, for example. He looks as white as anyone else I know but he's still 1/8 black. Does he pass muster?
It is good enough - common sense indicates that when someone talks about White people he is referring to ethnics Europeans, but nothing is set in stone, as you said different people will have different opinions. Some people on here think that you are not White if you have dark hair, which is ridiculous.
There is no need to get people to do DNA tests when you can just look them in the face a draw a conclusion yourself.
Armenia is not in Europe, but some of them could be classified as Aryans. I have seen some of them that look like pure Europeans and then some of them that look like shitskins, so let's say they are mixed.
To make thing simple take a look at this map: https://pic8.co/sh/13D5fl.jpg - It's an ethnographic map made by NATSOC Germany, you might have seen it before.
This is how I guide myself on this issue - if they are native to Europe and they look, think and behave White - in my book they are White. If they come from the area outside Europe that falls under Aryan territory and have physical and mental features that associate with Aryans - they are Aryans, our brothers, but not White.
For example I had a few Spanish acquaintances, they had a slightly darker skin than me, but had all the facial features and personality characteristics of Europeans so I considered them my equals and White European Aryans. I also had an acquaintance who was from Iraq, his skin was significantly lighter than average Arabs and had facial features closer to White people (he looked more like an Iranian). I considered him an Aryan, but not White.
White People are an ethnic group that comes from Europe and Europe only - that also includes Americans, South Africans, Australians.
