The better question is, could the aryan invasion of the dravidians explain the difference between ancient India and the designated shitting streets we have today? Did the leading caste of aryans intermingle with dravidians too much over the years?

>> No.14607264

White-ness as a racial identity was not even a thing at the time of the Greeks so it doesn't make any sense to predicate them with that. Even considering now that the idea of what constitutes "white" is so variable and dependent upon personal opinion (are Arabs white? Slavs? Irish? Southern Italians? Most modern people would say yes to the last 3 but historically speaking, they very often were not grouped together etc.)

Considering they thought other tribes to be barbarians, grouping them in with other people of the same skin tone is also rather odd. There was no idea of racial solidarity in the modern /pol/ sense.

No one thinks about biology when they are talking about race in society. When inquiring someone's racial identification I don't go up to some racially ambiguous tanned person and ask about his principle components clusters lmao

Whether or not there are "scientific" categorizations is irrelevant. Race as a predicate in everyday life is totally sociological.

literally no one thinks arabs are white, with the exception of the few lebanese and syrian people that look like assad, but those aren't even real arabs (just phonecians that speak arabic).

>some people call latino a race, others don't
spaniards and portuguese are clearly white, no one other than some retarded anglos think otherwise. mestizoids aren't white and everyone knows this. the amerimutt census considers them white because because they have "some" white ancestry. look into the history of it.

look into the history of race in america. jamestown in its founding had english, poles, germans, italians, and i think slovaks, and they were all considered white and married into the larger anglo community. the antimiscegination law in maryland was actually put in place as a response to the marriage of an irish and black person. octoroons that tried to "pass as white" claimed spanish ancestry.

look at the history of race is america. every european group was ALWAYS considered white by legal definition.

the one place where you could say it gets fuzzy was with lebanese and syrian christians, as they were considered white as well (but i think after a court ruling if i recall correctly.) but as i said previously, these are not actually arabs but phonecian descended people who speak arabic.

I am glad you are now an authority on how Syrians identify themselves. Syrians obviously refer to themselves as Arab.

> no one thinks arabs are white,
The US education system (common application for college) considers Arabs of any nation to be white. I believe the census as well, although don't quote me on that.
If you are basing whiteness on skin tone, then the Arab in a place like Syria, Jordan, parts of berber north africa etc. have a better qualification to whiteness than the Italian or Spaniard in many cases. If you are basing it on culture, then you have just admitted that whiteness is a societal category.

>spaniards and portuguese are clearly white, no one other than some retarded anglos think otherwise.
You are just proving the point that race is controversial and not decided upon. It doesn't matter what the majority thinks or doesn't think, the very fact that there is controversy shows it is more complicated than you make it out to be.

this is just retardation that stemmed out of syrians and lebanese being considered white. again, look into the history of it.

if race was just skin tone, why arent koreans considered white?

>You are just proving the point that race is controversial and not decided upon.
if you showed the average "anti-spaniard" angloid american a picture of a spaniard and asked what his race is, they would say white. americans are just retarded and think that spaniards are the same as mexicans.

"White" is a meaningless term we mostly got from Americans that needed a way to unify all the English, French, Dutch, German, etc immigrants as a single entity and differentiate between that and the blacks, injuns and mexicans.

A better term is simply European which is not subjective, and Greeks are European. That's that. Had the early US settlers simply called themselves European-Americans, there would be no confusion.
