Are italians, turks, Spanish people and greeks white?

[Anonymous]

I think they are black. I am sorry, i can a little talk English, i am from germany.

Yes

No

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.

That's why I laughed when Americans say Indonesians and Koreans belong to the same race Asian

A retard even can tell the difference in appearance unless he or she is colorblind.

[Rainie_]

@Unique_Asian_dude Yup, they look COMPLETELY different from each other. But a lot of people on GaG are American so I have no choice but to use race terms 😑

[LaFemmeFatale]

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.

[starliteyes]

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.

[ElissaDido]

Arab? Oh wow do you know where exactly? My guess would be either Lebanese or Syrian

[starliteyes]

@ElissaDido Lebanon and Jordan. My hometown is crawling with immigrants from the Levant xD

[ElissaDido]

Ohh hahah is it Michigan? I heard there many levantines there😝 Oh I wasn't that far haha!
I know another girl on GAg who is 1/4 irish 1/4 italian and half arab (1/4 Palestinian and 1/4 Lebanese).

[starliteyes]

@ElissaDido noo lol but I do have cousins who live there! I'm from Pennsylvania. I always get this wrong but my breakdown goes 1/8 Italian, 1/8 Greek, 1/8 Arab on that side then a couple drops of other stuff.

[Alex88F]

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.

[Alex88F]

You're from Germany tho? what's the big deal about being White, you feel you're gifted or something? just curious

[Anonymous]

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.

[Opinion Owner]

It is impossible for a modern German teenager to be unable to speak English.
Stop lying, I know what kind of people you are.
Also, only a #rapefugee would try to claim the White people are Black.
#RemoveKebab

[Asker]

i am black german.

[qwertykeyboard]

We are not Middle Easterns. We are Central Asians. (Turks)

[Asker]

and i am not modern.

[Opinion Owner]

Still a #rapefugee then, kebab.

[Asker]

you know what i am saying?

[Opinion Owner]

You are troll. It's 2016 now. #CurrentYear

[Opinion Owner]

I know. You're a #rapefugee.
Just get the heck out of Germany and go back to North Africa.

[Opinion Owner]

It still makes perfect sense then.
Blacks (Black kebabs) love to claim those more advanced groups are Blacks, or at least somehow connected to Blacks.

[Asker]

Ok ill go north africa.

[qwertykeyboard]

By the way Turks cannot be considered as neither Middle Eastern nor Caucasian because we originate from Central Asia. So, Turks are Central Asians.

[jacquesvol]

Yes they are but it has NO importance. 'Race' has no sense. Anthropologists stopped using 'race' long ago. Read this:

[AleDeEurope]

Again with this question? XD
Just because Hitler considered us less then them, doesn't mean we aren't white XD

[TiffyPuff]

? :/

But... they look white?

Like, do you not like them cuz they're maybe more mixed? That's lame.

[madelacroix]

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.

[ElissaDido]

Turks are not Arab😅 They are Turkic with some white Balkan and slavic imput and caucasus imput. Sooome might have Arab imput but they are not Arab

[madelacroix]

I meant their appearance, but yes you can split hairs. The near east has had many outside infusions, including white Balkans as far back as the northern invasion of 1250bc.

[Dred1614returns]

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.

[anonman32]

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.

[Zzzzzz111]

Guess who you made happy. . https://oi68.tinypic.com/1zgq0jd.jpg

[realloser]

They are basically a mixture of blacks, arabs and whites. Most of them are brown, some of them are white or black.

[kingarthas]

Depends on your origin , I am white but there are many people who aren't.

[Anonymous]

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

[Anonymous]

They're all considered Caucasian which is the proper term for white people

[maddi322]

I'm Italian and I've never been classed as 'not white'.

[realloser]

You are brown.

[maddi322]

@realloser im not brown lmao. In my profile picture I am wearing a lot of fake tan.

[palek]

Ain't white, ain't black; just Ain't!

[palek]

Why?

[Asker]

because everybody wanna kill me, i mustn't live in this world, i must die.

[palek]

I don't wanna kill. C'mon over to my house. People are cool here.

[Kantana]

All except for Turkish.

[Bilal9]

yes we're not white but most people consider us white because we are white skinned

[Asker]

Are turks black? i agree. but italians, Spanish people and gereeks are black like turkish people.

[Bilal9]

no turks are not white but others white
turks white skinned tough

[ElissaDido]

Yes.

[Bilal9]

we turkish people are not white our skin is white but we aren't considered white becuase we aren't caucasians

[ElissaDido]

@Bilal9 arabs are caucasian and not considered white😛
Are you considered Asian?

[Bilal9]

yes our ancestors come from central asia but they migrated to west asia and southern Europe as a race yes we are Asian but we have lands in Europe tough and we are so diverse and mixed nation we are a nomadic nation

[Bilal9]

and actually we were not muslims until we meet arabs

[ElissaDido]

@Bilal9 we were not Muslims and until we met Arabs aswell, we were Christian- Pagan and Jewish. We became Muslim in the 700's.

[Bilal9]

but you arabs created islam islam was born in 7th century quran was sent by Allah in Arabic form

[qwertykeyboard]

Bilal is right. We are not Caucasians. We are Central Asians.

[ElissaDido]

@Bilal9 I am a Tunisian Arab, we were Pagan/Christian/Jewish and became Muslim a few decades after the death of the prophet. Islam expanded from Kairouan in Africa this is why some people consider Kairouan as the 4th holy city in Islam after Jerusalem

[Bilal9]

oh ok I tought all arabs were muslims from the beginning
İslam affected and changed us so much even my name is arabic by the way thanks for the information you gave nice to meet you

[realloser]

Do you consider yourself white? I think you are brown while most Italians, Greeks and Spaniards are darker than you.

[ElissaDido]

@realloser I'm caucasian but not white,
Although I am lighter in real life than in my current picture.

[realloser]

If you are lighter then you might be even considered white by European standards. But why do you think Italians are white while you are not white according to your words and Italians are much darker than you?

[ElissaDido]

@realloser Italians are not dark unless they are sicilians

[realloser]

I have been to Spain and Greece, people there are very dark compared to you. I think Italians are approximately of same colour, Sicilians might even be predominantly black!

[ElissaDido]

@realloser
We are just tanned because of the sun
My legs are lighter aswell

[realloser]

You are 100% white according to the photo. I didn't actually know people in Tunisia can be that white.

[ElissaDido]

@realloser I'm darker than my Mom's family and my sister...

[qwertykeyboard]

Do you think that we are black Europeans?

[Asker]

yes, because you're not like us or other europeans country

[Asker]

countrys*

[qwertykeyboard]

But our skin is not black as Africans.

[Asker]

you're right.

[qwertykeyboard]

But we (the Turks) are not Caucasians. We are Central Asians our ancestors had come from Central Asia in 11. century.

[qwertykeyboard]

But I think South Europeans are also white.

[Anonymous]
