[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love Amal Clooney. Her brains, her education, her career, her beauty, her style, her life, her work, her family of origin, her family after marriage, her children, her money, her connections, her fame, her staff...

And I also know that people hate non-White women who get high value White men -
Amal Clooney
Priyanka Chopra
Meghan Markel
Lauren Sanchez...

Amal Clooney is white.[/quote]

Is Alexandria Ocasio Cortez white?

Isn't Amal Clooney Lebanese and Druze? Those groups are white. It's not about what color you feel like they should be.[/quote]

DP but color is very much about what people feel they should be.  Concepts of race are ephemeral and evolve over time. Most people don't regard Arab Muslims or Latinos as white. But give it time and they will be as white as Greeks and Italians. [/quote]

Doubt it especially in the case of Muslims.  Muslims and I would say many Arab Christians  are like Jews in the sense that even if they are white on the census ,  they don’t consider themselves white or identity as white because  they are religious and or ethnic  minorities [/quote]

Don't doubt it. Many Arabs and Hispanics list themselves as white. White has many meanings-- color isn't a fact, it's a perception-- and in formerly colonized nations there are many definitions of white. Even the Nazis had a category of "honorary whites" like Asians. The Nazis used this term to denote people they included in their definition of white despite some attributes that may argue against their whiteness. The more you travel and read history, the less rigid you'll be about issues of race. [/quote]

We list ourselves as white because we have no other option. It stems from the "Caucasian" category. But these terms are very reductive and I think are best to be avoided altogether. The Middle East is pretty diverse.[/quote]
