When did the definition of "White", racially speaking changed?
I admit I have been away for a while, not doing hard time mind you, but living abroad, so it is possible I have not been paying attention. Still, I do not remember this being the definition of "White": White- A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. Furthermore, not only is this new to me, but this definition is quite flawed. Does anybody notice the obvious flaw in this definition?
The obvious flaw in this definition has to be the inclusion of the Middle East and North Africa; Caucasians have never been the original peoples of the Middle East or North Africa.
I disagree with the 3 "Race" myth. Truth be told, there is no such thing as race. It is generally accepted that all life began in Africa and modern humans developed in Africa as well, approximately 200 to 300,000 years ago; they were Africans (black in color). Geneticists have determined that the genes for white skin appeared at different times between 10-30,000 years ago. Thus the resulting races now populating the planet are nothing more than the mixtures of Africans (Blacks) with their genetic differences and Whites.

This is only according the the U.S. census, this is their way to make the majority white.
The indigenous people of North Africa are dark skin people,most of them today are mixed, they that live there today are white(French from colonization), Arab, or mixed.
The people of the Middle East is not white, They are considered Caucasian(Caucasian is not a race or color, it describes the features, bone structure,skull shape) people because of their features and ligher skin. Because the real whites do not treat them as if they are white in the U.S. ...think about it
This is propaganda to make the majority white, because one time in U.S. the Ashkenazi Jews, Italians, Greeks, and other Southern European people were not considered as white. White generally referred to those of British Isles or northwestern European descent(Germatic, Nordic, etc).

There are 3 races: Caucasian, *****, and Oriental.
Arabs, Jews, Indians, Pakistanis, Persians etc. are not *****, nor are they Oriental. That leaves only one choice: Caucasian. "Indo-European" is basically Caucasian. The Caucus mountains, from which the race gets it's name, is in the Middle East area, near Turkey, and Georgia.
Caucasians are often called "white," because of the northern Europeans. Clearly, someone from Sri Lankha will be quite dark! But, technically, they are the same race as a Norwegian.

Spiritually speaking, it is so we are in a position to ask a query which may be on shaky floor so some distance as Y!A and the record monkeys are in contact. it form of feels stupid, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it in lots of situations works. And there are some people who nevertheless care approximately violation notices. i think of maximum folk determine that any given account is on borrowed time in case you take part in this communicate board in lots of situations, yet there are people who do in basic terms unlike getting VN's.
