This is why I hate to use the term white and black. I mean Swedes don't look like Greeks at all lol, despite both being European and so called "white". White is too broad of a term to categorise so many different groups of people. I prefer to use ethnicity or a smaller regional area. Personally I don't think using race categories in Europe and Asia really works because we have such divided ethnicities and different appearances depending on our country/ethnicity of background. It generally only works in america because many people there are already so clearly mixed up that their major ethnic background would be far too difficult to pinpoint.
So I guess yes in an American point of view they would be white (apart from those turks who could pass as being from an arabic country). As for European point of view, well they're most likely to be seen by what country/ethnicity they are of than by race.

Italians, Spanish and Greek people are white. Though I've met many Turkish people who looked like Arabs and I've met some Turkish people who looked like Eastern Europeans. Originally, they are not white in my opinion, but they've been mixed and thus, some of them may be considered as white.
My moms side of the family is all Mediterranean (including Italian, Greek, Arab etc). I'm as White as they come darlin. And my family is White too.
it basically depends what kind of history their country has gone through. with massive immigration every country have amix where genes rensemble more arabic people than White people - that's not racism tho - arabs move more than other ethic groups and therefore you have more mixes.
Turks = mostly made out of arabs
Spanish = a crossover of sorts
italians = same as Spanish where in the North they're more celtic/german descendents and form with latin tribes mixed and mingled with. If you go South you have people looking (and often acting) as arabs or Africans.
greeks = Pretty much the same as italians.
1. Italian, Spanish, and Greek are Whites, not Blacks.
2. Turks are Middle Easterners, not Blacks, too.
3. You are not German; you are #rapefugee, kebab. Stop pretending.
4. Get the heck out of Germany.

Yes they are but it has NO importance. 'Race' has no sense. Anthropologists stopped using 'race' long ago. Read this:
AAA Statement on Race - Connect with AAA www.americananthro.org/.../Content.aspxAgain with this question? XD
Just because Hitler considered us less then them, doesn't mean we aren't white XD? :/
But... they look white?
Like, do you not like them cuz they're maybe more mixed? That's lame.Italians are as white as French, except Sicilians who can be a little darker (not black). Spanish are also usually white, except the remnants of the moors. Turks are Arab, not white. Greeks same as Italians.
I'm Italian and I'm nowhere near black. My family originates from the northernmost regions of Italy, near the Swiss alps. There is a chance that Greeks, Spaniards, Sicilians and maybe Calabrians have black roots.
do they need to be? they are European and live by European ideals. their geographical location has determined their skin color. natural selection took good care of them.

They are basically a mixture of blacks, arabs and whites. Most of them are brown, some of them are white or black.
Depends on your origin , I am white but there are many people who aren't.
They're all considered Caucasian which is the proper term for white people
Yeah they're all white unless they have parents from somewhere else. Though they're sunny countries so they get often plenty tan in summer
I'm Italian and I've never been classed as 'not white'.
