Why are people in the middle east considered white?

you're the one who keeps ignorantly stating that Caucasians come from the Caucus Mountains.

no scientists today believe such a bull(*)(*)(*)(*) idea.

 

Why do people say that Al Pacino looks like an Arab? Ive heard people say that he looks middle eastern, but what is it about his features that make him look middle eastern? In my opinion, he looks Italian, not really like an arab.

 

The Saudi Arabians and Bedouins in the 2 photos I posted above dont look like tan whites to me. Their facial features look like light skinned blacks. So why are you saying that they are whites?

Those two people in the photos look Negroid, in my opinion.

Blacks are a minority in the Middle East. Most are Arabs. So why do most Bedouins not look white?

 

his nose for starters and his swarthy looks.

 

Because they are not White (European). They are non-White Caucasoids.

 

Let's not forget that in the UK they have stupidly classified them as Asian.... the US is far from the only country with ridiculous racial classifications.
Comparing the Islamic Middle East to a country like Japan, or to any European country that wasn't occupied by them at some stage (Albania, Bosnia)- they share so few similarities that such a comparison is laughable.

What's actually wrong with classifying Arabs as a separate race? Nothing. Except that the politically correct crowd classify people as whatever benefits their agenda at the time. Hence why even black Latinos are considered White in the US, and why Arabs are somehow both European or Asian depending on whether you're in America or Europe.

The same crowd deny the existence of a Latino race, despite the fact that those who arrived in America before recorded history did not have the same appearance as any other race, their genes more Asiatic than not. Yet Latinos would never classify themselves as Asian- they are as different to each other as Arabs are from either of them.

Race certainly does exist. Comparing Arabia to Asia or to Europe is just laughable- the only history between any of them is almost entirely conflict.

 

Why are you saying that Al Pacino looks "swarthy"? He's no darker than the average olive skinned Greek or Italian.

 

Olive skin? Nobody is Green!

He is swarthy, as are greeks (due in part to the climate) and some italians, he has an "Arab nose", for want of a better expression. Not many greeks have this but more italians have this possibly due to southern italy being colonized by Arabs, the Arabs didnt colonize the Greek Islands.

 

ignorant stereotyping.

its like saying all black Africans are short and fat.

 

Black Hispanics are not entered as White in the US census.. There are "White Hispanics" like Carmen Diaz and there are "Black Hispanics". Look it up.

The Near East is considered Asia.. although not Asian like the Chinese, Japanese or Koreans... There are White Arabs as well as Black Arabs.

 

ihave many greek friends, you dont.
ialso have a firm grasp on geography and history, you dont.

 

I have met and been friends with MANY more Greeks than you. They have their own communities in NYC that I frequent a lot.

And I have a degree in Geography, which you do not. Which included the study of Cultural Geography.

 

. im on about real greeks, you know, the ones who live there. GREEKS, not the immigrant community. My 2nd cousin is from greece, she is as dark as denzel washington. youre just being contrary. you dont know any greeks.

 

I went to high school with lots of Greeks.

My aunt married a Greek. Her married name as Panagokos. Her husband was from Athens.

I went to college with many Greeks. I have several Greek coworkers.

You assume to much and speak without thinking/knowing.

good for you. do you just want to argue about irrelevant matters all day?

 

Have you traveled in Greece? I have on numerous occasions and many Greeks have dirty blonde hair, green eyes and light olive complexions.

Have you traveled at all?

 

the greeks that I know have dark hair and light hair.

dark eyes and light eyes.

its ignorant and absurd to say they are all dark.

 

We used to spend a week in Athens and then go to the islands.. The Greeks who worked a fishermen were always darker....... from sun exposure one would guess.

 

I have on numerous occasions and a tiny fraction of Greeks have dirty blonde hair, green eyes and light complexions. they would be northerners who arrived on holiday and stayed, its nice and warm there, been many times on holiday.

 

like I said, I met many Greeks in high school and college.

NYC has a VERY large Greek population.

they vary from darker skin to lighter skin.

saying all the light-skinned people in Greece are tourists, is absurd and idiotic.

 

many people in the Middle East are Caucasians.

such as Arabs, Berbers, most Kurds, Circassians, Persians, etc.

 

Ppl from the caucus mountains are descendents of Berbers, Iraqis, Persians and Arabs. Many ppl don't know that civilisation began in the fertile crescents of the Nile and Euphrates. Many ppl think civil action began in the caucus mountains such is western education

 

For whatever odd reason they are by government census data, as are Mexican mestizos and other clearly non-white groups, but if you put any of these people in front of a white person they're not going to think they're of the same background as they are.

Such as Western education?

Name a single Western textbook that teaches "civilization began in the Caucasus mountains."

no one is taught such nonesense in any public schools in North America or Western Europe.

maybe homeschooled kids are taught such bull(*)(*)(*)(*), but not in any real schools.

 

Some North Africans, like Berbers look white and could totally pass for 100% European. So why wouldnt you consider them to be white?
