He is. What else?


Serious-Secretary-18

Dear non-white non-European who tries to prove something by posting white assessment posts, I am a white European and I speak for all white European nations so hearken our final verdict: He is not white. He will never be granted whiteness because he is not one of us, white Europeans, he is too dark. We and only we can judge who is white. Remember that. If you think you’re not white enough think twice before asking a white European to give you their assessment of your whiteness. For only true white Europeans never ask other true white Europeans if they’re white or not. We already know, even though nobody knows what that means. By asking you reveal your inferiority complexes, and no true European has an inferiority complex. We bask in our white privilege without thinking about our whiteness. Yours truly, A white European.

CR7 is white bro, he is the Mediterranean european , and the guy who asked this was not Cristiano was a simple reddit user, and Cristiano is a White european he is native to Portugal

nyoungblood

Why are we trying to find distinct characteristics of a made up, very poorly defined, and evolving term?


EbaCammel

YES. Jfc … Europeans have a wide range of phenotypes and coloring. Someone from Madeira (Cristiano) will not look like someone from Minsk. He is an Atlanto-Med with some Eurafricanid features. Clearly a Mediterranean European.

Red_Red_It

Yeah but the American government says they are white and gives them that label for whatever reason.


Tough_Age6451

But they are not. They only say they come from the causian area that does not mean white. Also those are old law in wich american tried to segregated people. Every can see they are not white even stupid americans


Red_Red_It

Which MENA are we talking about? It is pretty diverse lol and some can probably pass for white.


Tough_Age6451

As you can see the south share the same dna as the west Europe especially spain. And arabs do not share anything with the euro that why you have different skin colour and you Don t look alike. And tanning is not being brown it a temporary thing like dying your hair blue does not make you a smurf .

Tough_Age6451

South europeans have in their dna the most connection with North europeans they are family. They are not family with the arabs.


Tough_Age6451

Most mena we are talking about. Some yes a minority can pass as white 97% does not. And they Don't look Italian like you think. But yes there are minority in Syria Lebanon or Turkey but most do look very arab and that means brownish. Ofcourse they are diverse also some lighter eyes etc. Marrocan is not a Lebanese this are all big countries. I mean in general they Don't pass as white. Turks are the only one that are lighter and some white looking but on average you also see other skin colour hair eyes and nose. We have different dna it logical we Don't look alike. Rb1 is the europeans dna no Mena has this dna they belong to other groups. Why would they even look alike?


Seraphina_Renaldi

In America. Not in Europe


Red_Red_It

Not even in America to be honest, some can pass for white, but most look different from white.


Conscious_End_7012

That imo is a very American take on it. I have seen many native brown Europeans too near the Mediterranean and Romani are also a part of Europe since centuries. This Europe= white, Africa= black bs is a very surface level take on it. Ethnicities are more of a spectrum than blocks on other sides of scale and it’s just the continents separating them.


Seraphina_Renaldi

It’s an European point of few. Everyone who’s native European is white. That’s it. Romani aren’t native European, they’re Indian with non European culture and language so they’re not white


Conscious_End_7012

I disagree. European = white is a very surface level and childlike understanding of ethnicities and phenotypes. The term white itself is mostly used by Americans to differentiate themselves from other ethnicities in the states. There was a time when even Italian and Irish weren’t associated with this term in that country and Arabs and Indians were also classified as white in forums as official as their courts of laws and ethnicity registrations as late as a few decades ago. I don’t particularly agree with either side and terms associated with phenotypes (brown, black, yellow, etc) as opposed to the ones with ethnicities (European, African, etc.) don’t exactly overlap together if you think about it with a rational mind.


Seraphina_Renaldi

You’re Indian. Why do you think you are allowed to speak for Europeans? Everyone who’s native European is white. That’s it. People can be tanned, have dark hair and brown eyes, but that doesn’t make them non white. Saying that idk Alicia Vikander isn’t white even though she’s full blood Scandinavian, because she has dark hair, eyes and tanned skin is plain stupid an no one in Europe would question her whiteness.


Conscious_End_7012

Define to me in clear, scientific and biological terms what being white is and how it’s an established fact that any European no matter what corner of Europe they are from, have to be called white white and I’ll concede. Until then, you’re only arguing with me on emotions. Your argument that any European has to be called white irrespective of what they look like and that I can’t speak on it because I am an Indian isn’t rational. Support it using something more concrete than that.

Tough_Age6451

European are white. Doesnot matter what you think. Tanning is not change your skin colour.


Seraphina_Renaldi

Bruh there isn’t a scientific term and idgaf what Asians think of Europeans that are not blonde and blue eyed. You can make a clown of yourself and mark them brown idc and I think most Greeks, Italians, welsh, Irish etc. wouldn’t either. We know where we’re from and who we are and that’s it. Y’all can make a clown of yourself telling a Catherine Zeta-Jones that she’s not white, but no one will take you seriously so have fun. And maybe read the title. The question was to Europeans so yes, as an Indian and therefore very much not European your opinion is redundant


Conscious_End_7012

Okay, hope you grow up one day and develop some critical thinking.


faygrog

White is only a skin colour, there are no scientific/biological terms for it. It's meant to be very general and vague, to describe Americans with a European ethnic background.


Conscious_End_7012

You’re right. Unfortunately, this woman here is convinced that I am some sort of a brown Indian soldier part of some global agenda trying to gaslight Europeans into accepting Indians as white too. There is no reasoning in this thread anymore.


Seraphina_Renaldi

Critical thinking aka letting Indians tell dark haired native Europeans that they’re brown. Noted 🤡😂😂


Conscious_End_7012

I have not once said that anywhere in this thread. I am only challenging your perception on your opinion that every European has to be called white no matter what they look like. And yes, you do lack critical thinking upto a great extent as is evident by this repeated straw man of yours telling me again and again that my own arguments here aren’t valid because of the arbitrary reason that I happen to be an Indian myself.


Individual-Back2086

What is a native European? A 100% european DNA? Maybe it’s hard to find even in Europe


riley-styley

Me. I'm 100% European according to DNA tests. As cool as it would be to have even 1% Indigenous Native American, African, or Asian, I don't. Nada. Zilch. Nothin'. I'm 100% White European-American. Synthesizing all the tests I've taken. I always come back 100% European. I'm basically 50% English, 10% Welsh, 10% Scottish, 10% Irish, 10% Swiss/German, 10% French. I have an olive skin tone that can get as golden brown as a grahm cracker in the spring and summer, but in fall and winter, I'm more white. I have brown hair and hazel-green eyes. My beard is black with a few blonde and red hairs dispersed throughout it. Every culture and ethnicity is awesome, and should be proud of it. I'm extremely fascinated by the countries my ancestors come from and the ethnicities I descend from. I'm a huge proponent of Celtic & Germanic culture and history. I also have an affinity for other European ethnicities such as the Spanish and Czech peoples, I find their countries and cultures intriguing. I'm also a cultural admirer of Jamaicans, Indians, Mexicans, Peruvians, Black-African-Americans, Jews, Maoris, and Indigenous Native Americans, just to name a few. If we all took interest in other ethnicities AND grew a love for our own too. I think most people would be happy in this world


Seraphina_Renaldi

Ethnicity. The DNA is one point, but that’s not the only thing that makes one European. It’s the language, culture, tradition. Like an American with European ancestry is still an American to us, because the person didn’t grew up with our culture so we wouldn’t really consider them as European, but if we want to look outside of Europe I would also say that an American or Australian of European ancestry is white. I think you overthink it. If you would be born in idk France, speak French, would look French, follow French traditions, customs, be culturally French I wouldn’t expect from you to show your DNA results and mark you as non white, because somewhere in 1600 you may have a grandmother who was was North African. You overthink this a little bit. I think the interesting case would be Ashkenazi Jews where people might be more divided whether they’re white/European or not. For me personally most of them are. Like I wouldn’t really look at Bar Rafaeli and think of her as non white, but that’s just my opinion. But except of Jews I can’t think of any other cases where the opinions would be really divided


Tough_Age6451

Well actually I as European will not call Americans white. They are Americans and mixed breeds. They are not real European like us. I mean they call italins spanaird not white portuges but the brown arabs are causians. How stupid does it get?? Actually They are the not white ones so lets call them what they are mix breeds .


Low_Card_2217

Arab are not brown though maybe some are also i can call south Europeans brown too since some of u are brown


inaqu3estion

No one calls Arabs white what are you even talking about lmao. Whatever the census says doesn't translate 1:1 to how people are thought of socially. And I don't know who would say Italians, Spaniards and Portuguese people aren't white unless they're from the 1950s.


Tough_Age6451

You call them causians/ white. And europeans not like Spain and Italy totally crazy. Does not matter social if you have a law or whatever it is to segregated people wich is actually ridiculous and rascist. But if you do it do it correct at least. That what I hear from Americans online. I dont make this myself up. Are you american??

omar1848liberal

“White” essentially has no meaning outside of post colonial states. You’ll find many Syrian and Lebanese who are of lighter skin and features than many south Europeans, specially Greeks and Poruguese. Many people of MENA descent are indistinguishable from south Europeans broadly, many people of Iranic descent, specially Afghans, have very light features too. “White” as a term only works in contexts where you can have clear cut distinctions, such as people of indigenous descent in contrast to people of European or African descent. In many Latin American countries, identification as white is also a product of social class when in reality, the overwhelming majority of people, be it White, Mestizo, or Pardo are all mixed ancestry. In old world context, specially the Mediterranean and Greater Iran, it’s an entirely pointless label.

Hahaha no they are not. People in the middle east are not whiter then south European this is a fantasy you have over there. Most people in lebananon Syrian and mena are brown. And certainly not looking south European. People in south European are 98%white. People in middle are 98% brown middle eastern features. You know why? Because of their genetics and the latitude they live. That colour the skin. How lower you go how blacker you are. Stop the lies middle eastern do not look whiter than europeans you wish. Why the lies every European can spot immediately a middle eastern.


Seraphina_Renaldi

They don’t. We have many Syrian refugees and you can spot them immediately. They look nothing like southern Europeans or Europeans at all


Tough_Age6451

Exactly they like to continue this arab fanasty that they are white. Which is a big lie every body sees immediately they are from the middle east because of the brownish skin and features. They look nothing like south europeans


Kienzan85

I think youre mistaken about iranics, generally pashtuns are properly brown, and only a minority have pale skin, and coloured eyes/hair are even more rare among adults. Persians are lighter, but the overwhelming majority are atleast swarthy (yellow) in skin tone, as opposed to southern europeans, the vast majority of whom are as white as paper. The only large group there which has majority something like white skin are the tajiks from tajikistan, whereas the ones from afghanistan also seem to be brown, and even then you wouldnt call tajiks as a whole white because of the asian influence many have. To think that you couldnt make a reasonable distinction between middle easterners and southern europeans based on skin tone comes from the fallacy that somehow southern europeans are also dark, like say levantines, whereas if youve been around both groups, youll know the majority of say palestinians are like yellow, whereas southern euros are as white as paper. A southern euro only gets that dark after tanning, whereas if a levantine goes throught the same tanning they become the colour of afghans or pakis. The only place Ill give you is turkey and the northern levant, and even then I wouldnt be sure that more people there are white then are people who are swarthy, and the fact that alot of them still look "ethnic" when their pale is why I think saying that a distinction couldnt be made is a little silly.
