I'm "white" yet i have skin that like... always tan? I'm Canadian but I'm half german half English Are Portuguese people white? If its skin color then everyone in Japan is white right? If that's not true because they are "asian" then that makes me not white either because I'm "European"? --- None of this is good, Vector.

Somehow white and black people is acceptable instead of saying caucasian or just American or wherever you're from. <cite>trappedunderice posted [p:940420635] in What makes...

For most it just means desended from a native european, then you got the weird american version that is closer to the nazi version where meditteranian and scandinavian heritage gives you wiggle room. --- 2 to the 1 from the 1 to the 3, a fitting end for a monster like me. <cite>ZeroX91 posted [p:940420707] in What makes...
