My thoughts: They are not white, they've never been white, they'd just like to think they are white because a long time ago, white people who have a massive mistaken superiority complex, convinced the world that they were the best through colonization despite mass murder, mass rape, and outright theft of land and resources. Even though they were the world's biggest criminals, they convinced other people that they were inferior unless they were more like them. So now it's like some sick, twisted, backwards thing that people from all over the world have where it's like so many of them desperately want to claim being white, despite all of the crimes against humanity that have been associated with the white race for centuries.
I have been to Greece and Italy and those people do not look white.

LOL, that's just stupid, Slavs are absolutely white, lots of Slavs have blue eyes and blonde hair, including South Slavs.
And for your information, yes - Arabs, Turks, and Iranians (Persians) are also white, whether you like it or not, they are darker just because of the warmer climate, the same goes for the South Europeans (Italians, Spaniards, Greeks, Portuguese).
Im Arab and I'm not brown. And southern Europeans are definetley not brown.
the real simple fact is that as human civilization is based out of africa in effect no one is truly white... however that also ascribes to the one race idea
but i definitely believe in this, since most of southern Europe at some point was under control or heavily populated by middle eastern and northern African Moors
So because we have a different shade of white, we're not white anymore? So I'm guessing a light skin black shouldn't be considered black, cause it's not as black as others... xD
Brown race, she said... oh god... hahahhahhaha

Southern Europe was conquered by Arabs and moors so, it's not surprising that some souther europeans are darker than norther Europeans.
How ever their are European Italians close to Switzerland, they are unmistakably white.
So nationality is not the best indicator of race
So I agree caucasoid/Europeanskin color is determined by geographical location, the pictures show that nicely. does it matter if they are white or not? no it does not. what is important here is that people will evolve in a particular way to survive easier in their habitat.
we are always under effect of natural selection and evolution. just let evolution take its course. the longer we will exist as a species the more superior our species becomes. look at crocodiles, they have existed for millions of years. they are ultimate survivors.
lets just drop our ideologies about race.So, Latinos are part of the so-called "Brown race."
The president of Mexico is a Mexican.
Mexicans are Latinos.
This is a picture of the president of Mexico:

As you can see southern Europe is considered caucasian, hence white.White means that a person hails from the group that moved in to Europe from the Caucausus region - meaning literally every native European is white. Slavs, Spaniards and Italians included.
White, black... and who gives a shit? it all depends where you live and the culture you live in. skin colour is irrilevant in 2016 as it was in the past
two things here... one, why does it matter? and two... we all originate from one valley in africa
I'm many generations British and naturally a sort of orangery very light brown very few people are paper white and most people don't want to be that light hence people tanning.

If they aren't white, then I've been fooled my entire life.
This the second question in less than 24 hours I've seen on here about this. Who cares?
I already thought that. But this whole thing is really, really unimportant.
Maybe but it's really irrelevant, we are almost all mixed, in a few years we'll be all mixed beause humans like to fuck each other, white women like black men and white men like black women (i've seen this) and Asians are getting mixed into the bunch too, nobody will be pure, mark my words.
There are white Arabs and Turks
Why some people wanna feel special , not because of their own success but just from their color
PityI can't speak for all these groups, but this does not apply to all Italians.
good for you. you want a cookie?
As a half Italian dude I could care less lol
Absolutely correct that they are non white.
Why is skin color such a big deal?
As a full on white person, I don't care.
I call some of those latinos/hispanics as a race
