Do you use terms like Black & White?

I don't. Atleast not anymore. I figured to be more cultured and assign races based on culture and not color.

A European American Jew is not white, he is a two-time foreigner.

An African person from America is not black but African on American land.
As the saying goes "We didn't land on Plymouth Rock. The rock was landed on us.” - Malcolm X

An American man is not white nor American he is a European.

Europe is its own case, none of them are white, Europe is pretty diverse.

White is a bullshit term and in the US it is especially misused. They might as well switch to West Eurasian and remove that white term and apply West Eurasian term to anyone from Europe and Northern West Asia. That's it mang

Lol I live in America, I grew up on you were either
White,black, asian, indian/arab or mexican


The term white was spread by european descended americans. Lol and white is usually reserved for northern european looking, anybody too swarthy got lumped with the mexicans.

here in Germany the term / topic white comes up rarely since it is not a new world country i guess .

i dont like to use it in forums either since it is a vague term that gets discussed on shitholes like TA in 100000 threads

i have my definition of white btw. . if anybody disagrees with it thats fine

Idk, west eurasians encompass a lot of different people - it wouldn’t make sense to have that on the census, would be difficult to make policies tailored to each community

Europeans have a smudge of Early East Asian (EEA) ancestry, I think around 15-3% depending on the country/state.

I mean all the blue colored areas are predominantly west Eurasian in ancestry

if you think sri lankans for example are "west eurasian" then you are ....just wrong .....

the only MOSTLY or PREDOMINANTLY west eurasian peoples are Europeans and people of northern part of western asia . also people like yaghnobis and arabians who are not mixed with ssa

in native europeans and Northern West Asians you are guaranteed that they are almost fully west eurasian . (except our gypsies who are loved to be portrayed as us but you get the point)

not freaking tamils or whatever smh
