Don't know about that. But there are plenty of times when hispanics look black. It's hard to tell at times. If someone's skin is tan, brown or whatever. Then I don't consider them white?
There are indians that i've known that black people have mistaken for black
skin tone isn't a determinent. If so then the people whom are light skin blacks in western countries aren't really black at all. "white" isn't literal just as "black" isn't a literal inferral
@G-Daz Yeah, I get. I'm just saying I'm not going to think of someone as white if they clearly don't look it. & People of color come in a bunch of different shades. When I say "white" I am referring to skin color.
I guess that is. I don't care too much about races and such so I'm pretty ignorant on the subject. To me white skin= white. It gets complicated to me so I don't think much of it.
Yeah I know but people call us Mexican Spanish when we are Hispanic. We have Spanish backgrounds bit are from Spain since we are mixed with Natives from North America. Even Spanish people are mixed. So its just a crazier mix lol
there's a lot of confusion between American hispanics and european hispanics. Iberia is the name for spain, and originally it was moorish arabs living there, untill the european white Spanish people kicked them out.
when Spanish people discovered americas, they lost america to the British. and retained their lands like mexico and cuba. But much of their language is taken from Europe , but they still come from mayan, aztecan and meztizo ancestry.
Tanned skin. But Spanish people from Spain are white even if they might have a Moorish (Moroccan) forefather, more than 1000 years ago. Moroccans too are white, White Africans.
Most people hear the word Spanish, and they associate that with Hispanics. that is just the most common form of Spanish they are familiar with. Much like how people think Americans are white, even though American is not a race.
A lot of Europeans reject the white label and don't see each other as the same race. Not only do Europeans do this Chinese, Japanese and Koreans do this as well.
But korean and japanese are actual races. They come from like different places or something hahaha the thing is that the people from the European countries are from the same background. And thy would your mom not think of herself as white? What is she then? hahaha I don't understand why someone would want to erase their roots
Yeah I forgot about that :/ Maybe the Japanese and the korean are made to be so different because their dislike for each other? But I still believe there could be some differences because their has been a long time since those countries were built.
Spain was conquered by the Arabs during the medieval times and its people got mixed up to much. Of course there are white Spaniards but a large part of the population is mud blooded like the Arabs.

Spanish are a different culture but people from Spain are white, its just that they are very different. South America is a mix of Spanish and native Indian such as Incans etc. Many of them are not white.
They don't look stereotypically 'caucasian'. Same with Eastern Europeans, portugese, etc. Not too many of them have blonde hair/blue eyed people walking around.

I never said it was, lol.

That's your problem. White isn't a skin colour. Races are based more on place of origin (if that makes any sense)
I guess that is. I don't care too much about races and such so I'm pretty ignorant on the subject.
To me white skin= white.
It gets complicated to me so I don't think much of it.
we're probably all mixed races anyway, so there's no true race among us. all of us have some form of racial mixing in our ancestry.
I blame the education system, my school district was horrid... I was just taught that they are Spanish, and not white...
Then I learned about it in College and felt so stupid...
I hope you mean Spanish people as people who are born and raised in Spain not Hispanics or Latinos.
All Spanish people are hispanic and many lationos decent from spain. I don't really see what you are trying to say here.
Yeah I know but people call us Mexican Spanish when we are Hispanic. We have Spanish backgrounds bit are from Spain since we are mixed with Natives from North America. Even Spanish people are mixed. So its just a crazier mix lol

@baarkmann I know what you're saying a lot of people don't know or understand that.
Tanned skin. But Spanish people from Spain are white even if they might have a Moorish (Moroccan) forefather, more than 1000 years ago. Moroccans too are white, White Africans.
Anyhow, it has NO importance at all!
What you just said makes no sense whatsoever
@Nme2ne1 It's true, nevertheless. :)
Most people hear the word Spanish, and they associate that with Hispanics. that is just the most common form of Spanish they are familiar with. Much like how people think Americans are white, even though American is not a race.
i get confused when i think Spanish since there's so much shit involved.
What kind of shit? :/
like different ethnic backgrounds and stuff
oh haha
hahaa there was no pun intended with "shit" xD i realize that now.
both Spanish and slavic are white.
white = european descent.
im slavic and im white.
people have adopted the word HISPANIC as anyone who speaks Spanish.
so a korean, after learning Spanish, can call themselves hispanic.
SPAIN on the other hand is in Europe .
A lot of Europeans reject the white label and don't see each other as the same race. Not only do Europeans do this Chinese, Japanese and Koreans do this as well.
Well Chinese isn't a race. But I wouldn't consider Japanese people and Koreans to be the same race
Exactly so Italians and the French would reject the white label. My mom is a European and she doesn't identify as white.
The whole white/black thing started in U. S.
But korean and japanese are actual races. They come from like different places or something hahaha the thing is that the people from the European countries are from the same background. And thy would your mom not think of herself as white? What is she then? hahaha I don't understand why someone would want to erase their roots
I'm Chinese and I dislike thos japanese so yep I agree, except a lot of japanese and korean genetics stem from Han Chinese genetics...
Yeah I forgot about that :/
Maybe the Japanese and the korean are made to be so different because their dislike for each other? But I still believe there could be some differences because their has been a long time since those countries were built.
What do you mean by "white"?
Race? Color of skin?
Race
Majority associate "white" with blonde hair, blue eyes, etc.
Which is stupid because most white people don't have blue eyes or blonde hair :(
Spain was conquered by the Arabs during the medieval times and its people got mixed up to much. Of course there are white Spaniards but a large part of the population is mud blooded like the Arabs.

They're all Nordic descent people, so I do consider them white
I don't think white people comes from the north though.
actually some of them are celtic, slavic, etruscan/italic, and hellenic.
But Nordic people are from like Germany or something
Sorry... i'm mistaken. :-P
The Goths invaded Europe, Russia, Spain, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.
They came from Scandinavia
I always thought Spanish people were Spanish. Maybe they are not Spanish.
Spanish people are Spanish :) From a country called spain :D
Being white is now to be the evil-oppressor-no-rights-class.
Why do you think we're seeing white people pretending to be black in the NAACP, or Black Lives Matter, etc?
They don't look stereotypically 'caucasian'. Same with Eastern Europeans, portugese, etc. Not too many of them have blonde hair/blue eyed people walking around.
Um, considering blonde hair and blue eyes are recessive not many countries in general will have that many.
Well, all southern Europe is mostly populated by darker complexion than northern Europe , that doesn't make them less white.
@Marstalk @AledeEurope who gives a fuck?
If you didn't give a fuck, why did you even comment to begin with?
@AleDeEurope because I can. Duh.
Because I dislike people spewing shit knowledge all over the place. And thinking their comments are help for even beneficial.
Some people are dumb, Are Turks white? They look white to me I think they're the deviding line...
I also think of them as the dividing line hahah
hispanics are a mix of white and mezitzo. Spanish are white iberian peoples who have some arab dna
because they are not as brightly colored as other nations, they have a slight tint to them sort of like the arabs do..
