Why are people in the middle east considered white?

but funny

 

The High Court in South Africa has ruled that Chinese South Africans are to be reclassified as black people.
It made the order so that ethnic Chinese can benefit from government policies aimed at ending white domination in the private sector.

just as absurd as saying "Caucasians are people from the Caucus Mountains" and "Lesbians are people from the Isle of Lesbos".

dont hate on me bru, hate on the ideology of these moron who invented the term caucasian

 

Caucasoids form the top vertice and include Europeans and South Asians. Europeans are White, a subtype of Caucasoids.

 

What's the difference between Caucasian and Caucasoid? Do they mean the same thing?

 

Caucasian means from the Caucasus, Caucasoid means the type associated with the Caucasus.

 

No. Caucasoid means the genotypic group composed of Europeans, Middle East, South Asia and North Africa. That's how it's defined, and saying "no it isn't" is just mindless semantics.

 

not literally, at least not anymore.

there is not one scientist or educated person on Earth, who thinks Caucasians originate in the Caucus Mountains.

 

Associated doesn't mean originated. It's an example of the type.

 

again, there are no modern scientists that believe that Caucasians in any way associate with or originate from the Caucus Mountains.

at no point in the evolution and development of Caucasian peoples did any event of any significance take place in this area.

 

Nobody is making that claim, which may or may not have some truth to it. "Caucasoid" in current use is simply a word applied to the human genetic cluster associated with Western Eurasia and North Africa. It's just a label and you are playing silly semantic games.

 

How can you say Arabs are Caucasians? Here are some photos of Bedouins and people from Saudi Arabia. Do they look white to you? To me, they look more like blacks or people from India, than whites.

Why are you discussing tuaregs? I am talking about Arabs like the Bedouins and Saudi Arabians. I dont see what mentioning the Tuaregs has to do with anything.

 

Arabs are not caucasian.

 

Caucasian race (also Caucasoid[1] or Europid[2]) is the general physical type of some or all of the populations of Europe, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, Western Asia, Central Asia, and South Asia

They are light skinned and darken by sun exposure... However along the coasts you find a long history of intermarriage with East Africa and the Indus Valley so some of those people are darker.

They are not Negroid in their facial bones structure at all.

Sure they are unless they have some African ancestry.

Have you seen any Bedu or Saudi Arabs?

 

No, Arabs are not from the caucus mountains margot. that is some crazy conspiracy theory you just imagined, maybe a fantasy of yours. Heres the bad news, if you want to marry a real Arab he isnt going to be white thats just in the movies, so hope you like brown sugar baby.

Caucasians are not from the Cacusus mountains either.. They are Aryans like Germans, Europeans, Spaniards, Greeks, Italians, Persians, Russians and Indians from India.

 

This man ^^^^^^^^ was told by american immigration that he is white in 1985

 

Margot, you are out of your depth here. You have no idea what you are on about. All of those europeans you listed are from the caucus mountain region. Greeks and Italians are a mix of caucus mountain and Arab. Russina- caucus mt. Indians- east Afrikan, no caucus origin for them, german - caucus mt.

 

you have no evidence, zero, that white people are from the Caucus Mountains.

next you'll tell us all Lesbians are from Lesbos, and all Barbarians are Berbers.

 

idont think they do but your ideology states that "whites" come from the caucus mountains. ipersonally think its dumb but hey ho, its not my philosophy.
