[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is a blonde haired blue eyed Jew. You’d think he was a WASP, but he’s 75% Ashkenazi. Is he white because people perceive him that way?[/quote] Of course he is white. He's not WASP, but he's white. From my understanding (half white, half Asian), POC is largely appearance based. Will you be judged as not white? Will you face judgement for the fact that you are not white? You are a POC. For some people like myself, I think it is somewhat ambiguous. I look Mediterranean (fair, dark eyes/hair) and look "white enough" - I do not self identify as POC despite being mixed, because I am aware that I have privilege in "passing" for white. Someone with ancestry fully from from Sudan, or Bangladesh, or Korea, is almost certainly a POC. Some of us look a little more ambiguous. If you look white, despite your religion, you are not a POC.
