      @@lyla5161 how come? It's just weird I guess because it depends on what the video defines as "white". Lightly coloured skin makes sense. It's mainly that a lot of people call a lot of "white" skinned colours Caucasian, when especially in Europe there are a bunch of cultures and nationalities with light skin that aren't Caucasian, and not classified as "white" In Europe. That's really it. In places like American they kind of put them all under the boat as White while in Europe the culture is different.

      @@user-ge7df3us3x it depends on what you define as white. Of course a lot of Europeans have light coloured skin, but if you're talking about white being Caucasian (with my experience that seems to be the general notion anyway and what the video seems to mean since the African American girl thought it was weird for a Sicilian guy to call himself white. Otherwise besides Caucasian there are Slavics, Hispanics, Turks, Germanics.etc. when I googled the definition of Caucasian I found that the North-American version was "white person from Europe", but then the obvious question is what does white exactly mean. In the 18th century Johann Blumenthal who was a light skin Germanic classified "Caucasians" to be the perfect image of God, or whatever was believed back then. Because if the facial proportions and skull shape (and skin tone). So if Caucasians by his definition than it's about the shape of your face. So people who have different facial features that at a lot of other nationalities do in Europe aren't Caucasian.
      It's a very confusing definition and I think type casting all like skin people with the same culture is dumb, the same as type casting any person of different skin tones to one nationality or culture is also dumb. So yeh

      @@l0stnam312 Ok,i see what you missunderstood in my comment.I know how white is used in America,i just wanted to know which Europeans you claimed to not be white.Here in Europe every native is European,that's the term we use,but white can be used for everyone also,including Slavs.Infact,not being white is only used as an attack in Europe,for example,Slavic Macedonians saying that us Greeks are not whites/Europeans,but gypsies or Arabs or Africans or something like that, in order to justify territorial claims.If you are from Europe you are thought to be some kind of white one way or the other,but there are many types,not just Nordic white,just like there are many shades of brown.As for the Sardinian part,it's the first time i hear people call them PoC.Infact,most people from the video were at least half white,and some even paler than me,but no they are only PoC because "whitey bad" or something like that.I can understand you not getting it though,since you don't live in Europe,but it is still strange for people to not see you as white,since Slavic phenotypes have those blonde hair and blue eyes,more often than not.Yet again,i'm guessing you are from the Balkans,and if you are from North Macedonia i hope i didn't offend you.

    I think part of the issue with "who is white?" has to do with American history and that old "one drop" rule that existed during and after slavery where in some places if you had any mixed heritage you were "colored". Hence if people could "pass" they had more rights, but if they couldn't they ended up screwed over for everything from education to where they could sit on the bus in some places. Shameful era of American history. My own grandmother was apparently Cherokee though she died before I was born. Some people guess that I have mixed heritage, others seem shocked by it. In the end it's all based on superficial generalities anyway. As we see here, "white" is largely a social construct.

The only reason the black woman guessed everyone was really just because she knew it was a game. You would be lying to me if you told me that on the street you could identify any of these people based on the color of their skin. That's the point this is trying to make, you CAN'T tell someone's origin even if they actually LOOK white.

Also there are zero Mediterranean Europeans who have ever been held up at airport security or at the U.S.-Canadian border for questioning and interrogation like MENA people constantly have to go through. Middle easterners existed on the earth long before Europeans did and that includes Mediterranean Europeans. I go to a diverse college heavily populated with Italians, Greeks, Spaniards who all look white, and yet we have Arabs/Assyrians too and the Arabs & Assyrians are very easily distinguishable and have their own features. From big and deeply defined dark eyes, long eyelashes, thick eyebrows, prominent noses/jawlines, olive-brown skin glow, facial hair, and the hairy legs lol...oh and another thing middle eastern men don’t have pink private parts. They’re literally brown and it’s the darkest part of their body, they can pass for light skinned black guys down there. And another proven fact the only reason Sicilians/southern Italians are darker than the rest of Italians is because they have middle eastern admixture since Sicily was conquered by different empires including Arabs at one point. That’s where they got the dark haired and dark eyed genes from. Spanish people also don’t look like Arabs who are typically discriminated against in Spain. Most Spaniards are pale with silky-textured hair and colored eyes. You must’ve been thinking about Hispanic people with Indigenous admixture. Some of them can pass for middle eastern folks but for the most part everyone in the world looks like what they are and it’s not hard to tell.

You can only have one race, while you can claim multipleethnic affiliations. You can identify ethnically as Irish and Polish, but you have to be essentially either black or white.
      In my opinion from a bi racial stance. Lots of people today are never just One thing. Many people are unaware of all their roots. We are mixing. An at some point maybe not saying a box for americans ... But maybe No box at all. Cause it shouldn't matter anymore. So i do agree this video wasnt done an handled in the best way but it will take a long time to correct americans perceptions on race an origin.

      @@_paz_888 Race is pretty straightforward, but average people are always confused because the media works to confuse them about everything. Race is well-defined in the field of evolutionary biology, they just don't use the word "race": Races of animals (also called “subspecies” or “ecotypes”) are morphologically distinguishable populations that live in allopatry (i.e. are geographically separated). There is no firm criterion on how much morphological difference it takes to delimit a race. Races of mice, for example, are described solely on the basis of difference in coat color, which could involve only one or two genes. Under this criterion there are numerous human races. As we all know, there are morphologically different groups of people who live in different areas, though those differences are blurring due to recent innovations in transportation that have led to more admixture between human groups.

      I dont think ppl are cornering the whites per se, they are just looking to acknowledge the root of todays problems to get change and evolution to happen ? and to acknowledge racial tension instead of continue slaving blindly to a system that keeps weighing them down and lifting white ppl up ???
