Why are BROWN Southern Italians and Greeks considered White?

Question

I have seen pictures of people both countries and go to school with some. They are not white like people in Spain and they do not have the great conquest of Spain. How did these brown mongrels become white?

not black does not mean being white pendejo

Answer 1

They are not brown, there skin has a olive cast, they are considered white.

Answer 2

Why do I keep seeing questions exactly like this one? Do you have a whole bunch of Yahoo screen names, or what?

What do you care who carries the title "white" and who doesn't? And in case you care (I doubt you do) it's extremely disrespectful to refer to someone as a "mongrel." Get over yourself.

I'm ethnically Sicilian. Most people think of me as white. Some people don't. According to you, I'm a brown mongrel (which is ridiculous) I don't really care either way. The only thing you should be focusing on is being respectful of your fellow man, and not being absurdly racist.

Answer 3

Well Italy and Greece are considered Europe, so that is why, but why call anyone mongrels? My great abuela came from Italy, Sicilia and settled in Puerto Rico as a little girl ,grew up ther ,married and some of them were Caucasian ,blue eu yes ,and others were Brown ,dark hair! , So what? What is your problem?

Answer 4

all of us is easily out of their recommendations, of direction some Italians (notably interior the south and/or deep south) won't look white in any admire, and human beings does no longer do no longer forget those few white, regardless of if i'm ideal confident that as quickly as you thought she was once white, then she genuinely looks white because of this she particularly is. She's in maximum cases saying she isn't for the reason that of the racism or something. usa is a extraordinary subject and that i'm susceptible to guess that she seen herself a white guy or female back place of abode.

Answer 5

Iam Italian and iam one of these dark italians you speak of, iam not offended in any way on you're question, because you are in spain and ''espana'' is in other southern europe, and you my friend are in the same race as italians and greeks.

I do not consider my self white at all i don't look white either, therefore iam not white, White people don't view me as white, i have NEVER been called white once in my life by any body.

Italians ARE NOT WHITE and this is coming from a full blooded italian i know my genetics and ancestory from research on the net, italians have spanish,greek,northern african in them, thats why they're not white.

Italians are in the meddetranean race, the same race of the spaniards, greeks,portuguese.

Case CLOSED!
adios amigos!

Answer 6

People like you would go further in life if you didn't waste all of your time hating on others and repeating the same...darn...question.

Lol. It's amazing really. I guess you didn't pay attention in history class?
Spain was under the Berbers/Moors for several centuries. They aren't fully 'white' either. You don't really believe that miscegenation did not happened in all that time??

Oh, and Antonio..?? That avatar you're using is kinda on the brown/tanned side. Self-hatred?

Answer 7

Its because they are white. Your stupid to say they are not. Germanic people are darker than say the average scottish person but they are still white.

Answer 8

Race and complexion are two different blank spots on the FBI's suspect forms.

Race and complexion are not the same, and do not necessarily have a causal effect on one another.

(Causal, not casual.)

Answer 9

Same way Micheal Jackson did maybe?

Answer 10

White's are all Caucasion, but not all Caucasions are white --- East Indians for example.
