[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t consider Italians as white [/quote]

I don’t think Italians are one race.[/quote]

Italians are the white Europeans.[/quote]

Europe is a place not a race. Southern Italians and Siclians genetically cluster closer to Levantine Arabs and other West Asians than they do to all Europeans besides Greeks and southern balkanites. They're just as close to Lebanese and Syrian people genetically as they are to Northern Italians.[/quote]

Asia is a place not a race?

Africa is a place not a race?

Should everyone get to put down their 23 and me statistics?

You're just proving my point about how ignoring western notions of race are. Of course Africa is a place and not a race. Are Tunisians, Algerians, Moroccans, Nigerians, Ghanians, etc all the same race?

It's very obvious that Mediterraneans--regardless of whether they're from Africa, "Europe," or "Asia" all share a great degree of looks, ancestry, culture, architecture, food, and history. It doesn't take a 23andme test or rocket science to realize this. All it takes is visiting countries in the Mediterranean. Are you implying that Italians and Greeks are more similar to Finnish people and Swedes than to Lebanese people and Tunisians?

Europe is a fake continent that "westerners" drew in Eurasia to divide the Muslims and other "eastern" cultures from "western" cultures. It had no significant meaning historically, culturally, ancestrally, etc until Europeans forged relations with each other more recently via the EU.[/quote]

I didn't say that the race categories made sense. However advocating for just a MENA category to be another addition to it just adds to the nonsense.

That's just adding another place.
