I thought we all agreed on this obvious fact for decades now but I guess not. Race is a construct. Period. We will never eliminate racism until we stop separating ourselves based on unscientific concepts of race.

So this middle easterner is white? He's the former emir of Qatar.


According to US government forms, yes Arabs are white. So are Persians, afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, etc.

They are all classified as non Hispanic white in government forms and do not benefit from any DEI benefits or preferential hiring. They are not considered minorities.


Exactly. Because they ARE white.

Racially they are POC, but from an intersectionality perspective they are considered white-adjacent settler-colonist oppressors. Their brutality was up there with the Belgians, but I personally would rank the Belgians higher on the oppressor chart because they are non-POC.


Doesn't make sense in any way. Spain was one of the biggest colonizing powers. Not sure how Hispanic = not white but Portuguese = white according to this.

Really? He looks white to me!


He is darker than Kamala Harris, how in the world he is white?


Maybe we should use color meters to determine POC or not?


Just use DNA


Portugal is at the crossroads of many regions. A DNA test would probably reflect this fact.


One drop settles this

Both are right next to Africa

She is not Portuguese, she is Brazilian. I have no idea if the OP is talking about Brazilians or Portuguese.
