I was gonna say some of these people look pretty white to me. But then we're getting into the arbitrary question of who counts as white which is probably way beyond her understanding.

Also, there were black people, but I'm sure this ethnocentric asshole didn't see them either.

They're not white, they're Irish.

Yes, but I imagine the original poster was thinking Aryan white.

The US has a very weird take on race.

Oh but they meant pale white northern european locked inside without sun the whole day not slightly tan white people

Americans apparently have a very learned eye to distinguish who's white or not.

Had a bizarre interaction in Texas once where I couldn't tell an entire staff was Mexican? My bad. Hijinx ensued. Owner was on the hook for my meal/drinks.

It's context dependent. When performing at the Superbowl it's brown. When shooting a black man it's white.

It's so arbitrary. I'm "white" and I'm darker than most of the people there by early June. It'd be year round if not for living so far north.

If you listen to her, you’d think Bad Bunny was giving out smallpox blankets to all the white people at the Super Bowl.

Unfortunately, gotta hard disagree here. The big problem is that this particular in-group does have a shared ideology and moral framework. The problem is that it's Nazi ideology.

So that means erasing Anglo-Saxon descendents today?

I watched "The Nightmare Before Christmas" once and I swear there wasn't a real person in there. They want every single one of us to be dead and animated!

same, but im asian. only white people/magas complain about wokeness. Also they have pet peeve with anything that strays from evangelical christianity subtleties in shows and movies.

There was some Richard Pryor joke about some 70s sci-fi movie with only whites in it. Think about what that means...

"Whenever Poochie's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking 'Where's Poochie?'"

He's not leaving much room for Jesus... and with an adult woman. A conservative's worst nightmare.

That lady being Lady Gaga. Yes, yes she did.

yeah, they cut to Lady Gaga who did a song ... The existence of other people is not erasure of you.

The reason for this is that race is a made-up concept.

Race is a pure "us-vs-them" term. That's why the term "race" was roughly equivalent to "nationality" in most European languages before the term fell out of use after WW2.

If you read texts from 1920s Europe, they frequently talk about the "French race", the "German race" or the "English race". When the Nazis talked about the "uber race", they didn't mean white people, but instead meant German people. They saw the French, the English and so on as inferior races. (Which makes the concept of neonazis from other countries than Germany quite absurd.)

In the USA, there weren't enough people of one nationality to dominate the area, so they had to band together and create a "shared white identity", so their us-vs-them became roughly equivalent to the continent of origin.

Since "race" doesn't have any actual definition apart from us-vs-them, it can be adapted to whatever makes sense right now.

A "white person" can be someone who looks vaguely white. It could be someone where the majority of their ancestors come from a certain part of the world (e.g., excluding Ireland, Eastern Europe, North Africa, ... even though they might look indistinguishable from people from e.g. Western Europe). It could be someone where every single one of their ancestors come from a certain part of the world. It could even be just people of a certain socio-economic group. You could even define that "true whiteness" requires a certain political affiliation.

Side note: while the term "race" fell out of use in most of Europe after WW2 and is now being reimported from the US with US meaning, the same is not true for the word "racism" that stayed in use in most European languages and is stilm used with the old European definition.

So to someone from the US, a French man hating all Brits is not a racist, but to someone from Europe, he is a racist.

most Puerto Ricans are tri-racial with their genetic makeup skewing towards towards African. the three groups that led us to now are the indigenous Taino who were enslaved by Christopher Columbus, enslaved Africans, and as you mentioned the Spanish. i don't know a single boricua who identifies as white. i'm sure they're out there, but they're just not who i'm knowing. but either way, white supremacy guages whiteness by proximity to power within a color coded society. so like… even if Bad Bunny were 100 of spanish descent it'd be as you say, similar to how the Irish, Italians, Romani, Jews, and Ukrainians aren't white under the framework of american white supremacy.

it's also important to know that white supremacy isn't a uniquely western European or so called united states thing. the all time promoting white supremacy champs are:

• the so called united states
• great Britain
• Germany
• Italy
• Russia
• Israel
• China
• Japan

"White" doesn't actually mean anything real. Italians and Irish weren't considered "white" until relatively recently.

They're not rich enough to count as white, apparently.

Uh, not really. Puerto Ricans are mostly pretty squarely in the Latino category. There's an entire play and movie about this called West Side Story.

Except Lady Gaga.

There are multiple white folks in the photo... Even right in the center of the photo

Yet they accept RFK Jr, a man who looks like he's been creosoted, as one of their own.

Nah looks Italian to me. /s

It's the Cheeleader Effect, but for racism

Also that girl near him, and another brunette near the middle bottom, and like 10 other people, possibly.

Let's not forget that they are subject to taxes yet lack any representation.

I'm pretty sure I remember a country that was pretty pissed off about that in the past...

If Bad Bunny, a boricua, isn't white to Morgan, then Ricky Martin, a boricua, wouldn't be white either

Ricky Martin is also Puerto Rican

Any time you see this Epstein file nonsense, just remember, this is what Donald wants you talking about instead of their complete dismantling of democracy and its replacement with billionaire oligarchy. Also, just for laughs, their stated goal of reducing the US population by two-thirds.

Doesnt matter what we talk about. The circus goes on anyway.

You can talk about epstein files all you want, but you are actually wasting your time. The only way to win is not to play, if you have heard that term. It applies to the circus.

But people want to discuss the latest political news, I know. Tomorrow its something else the orange man said. New circus every day.

Because its an attention economy and they profit from you reading the articles. :)

My half Cuban half Colombian best friend is white as snow with blonde hair and blue eyes. When she starts speaking fluent Spanish, people look twice.

She actually had to threaten a lawsuit because she was discriminated at work because of being Latina. No one knew until she spoke Spanish and then her manager started treating her differently.

at least original nazis had specific criteria for who is "aryan", i think.

Until I was about 16 I never actually realized what "white" means. I considered turks, arabs, chinese / most asia, europe and America (south, central and northern) to be white. Africans and other darker skin colors were just black. I never really paid attention to it and never really understood the color hatred because our "racism" was just hating other cultures of which morale you do not agree with. I guess Eastern EU is just a different kind of game.

Their greatest achievement in life was being born white. That's all they have, so they cling to it.

Lol mayonnaise culture is what they care about

Indeed: https://www.waltermosley.com/...

Just look at Argentina. It wont end.

I don't think that'll ever happen, really. We're just gonna have to stop hating/fearing each other based on physical attributes.

No, that’s excellent. Please carry on.

Yea but she's Italian so she's not white, but hey atleast she's not Irish.

/s

It's so stupid and subjective what's white anyways. Like buddy comes from Spain and people consider them white but oh noes they come from somewhere south of the US or in the case or PR in the US and suddenly not white. Jokes on them were all descendants of rapist colonizers 😂

Totally misread your comment. Now I need more coffee.

Prob a russian IP address too

he is wearing a very white suit.

I was going to be cute and say “my meat is purple” because that’s my favorite color… but it sounds really wrong.

There's a turn of phrase in Spanish. "Vestir de blanco" or "To dress all in white." Basically, it means "putting on your Sunday best". The outfit itself was a nod to Puerto Rican sugarcane farmers.

Yes, that's why white people are called Caucasian, because they are named after the Norway-Sweden mountains... wait a minute...

It's real - we haven't had to make shit up for a while now.... they are just out there being openly racist.

Suicide pact?

The damage to the ozone layer is reducing and has been for decades.

The problem with "eugenics" has never been the science (the science science, not the race science); selective breeding works with every other species in the world, it'd work with humans too. The problem is that out of every other species in the world, humans are the only ones to have developed "being systematically horrible to each other based off totally meaningless bullshit" and we've kinda embraced that as our whole thing.

In a perfect world where we don't have to worry about any of the practicalities, eugenics could be a wonderful tool for improving humanity as a whole. But humanity is too intrinsically broken to be able to handle it, and the practicalities we're glossing over in this case pretty much instantly become "forcibly sterilizing people we don't like" every time someone brings the idea up.

Troll.

For anyone who cares to inform themselves, the Wikipedia article about race is a good place to learn why races don't map to biological reality:

Human genetic variation is predominantly within races, continuous, and complex in structure, which is inconsistent with the concept of genetic human races.

Also, dog breeds exist because humans have actively bred dogs to have certain traits - and I assume you meant "anamorphous"?

I would like to challenge you to research exactly which genetic markers differentiate between races and the attempts up to this point to use them to categorize actual people.

Race is a made up concept, the only thing strange is you denying it

There are no consistent genetics markers to identify people by race. Even crazy things like the ability to use oxygen better found in the Himalayan population is also found in high altitude African and South American countries.

Dog breeds are not a "race" of dogs they are all fucking dogs. Just like human beings, we all share 99% the same genetic code.

Let's just pretend you are right for a second (you are not). Where is the blood test to prove what race you are!?

Even the genetic testing companies admit it is just for entertainment and they are guessing, because the same genetic code a person in Norway has also shows up in the Pacific Islanders.

You don't have to believe me, but you could believe just about every scientist who is an expert on this topic.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/...

"What the study of complete genomes from different parts of the world has shown is that even between Africa and Europe, for example, there is not a single absolute genetic difference, meaning no single variant where all Africans have one variant and all Europeans another one, even when recent migration is disregarded,"

So to sum it up. You are full of shit and you need to stop believing in bullshit propaganda.

Genomics can help to delineate the boundaries of ethnicities. This is useful because people of different races in a shared/neighbouring ethnic regions such as around the Mediterranean often share far more genetic similarity than they do with people of the same race in northern Europe or sub-Saharan Africa. The concept of race has always first and foremost served privileged groups and oppressed groups, often along ethnic lines, but not always. A great example is how pasty ass Irish people were once not considered "white". The genetic argument is typically cherry-picked to reinforce these power structures.
