Color " White" is more related to the Roman-Catholic-Latino Empire than with the Nomadic semitic tribes.
Don't you think so amigo?

According to the National Census Bureau, most latinos are considered white/caucasion.
I, for one, consider white to be a description of skin tone. I, nor anyone I know, has ever refered to myself as an Aryan, anglo-saxon, or any of that bs.
What's your point, anyways? What are you trying to prove beneath it all?

Latin evolved into the romance languages that we know today and they are part of the protoindo-european "Aryan" family of languages. The term "indo" is related to the regions that include Iran and India where the word Aryan developed to describe their people and language. Linguistically speaking a latino is the same as Latin and all Latins speak a Latin derived "Aryan" language. Whether they are pure Aryan by blood depends on their avoidance or level of mixture with native american, asian, african. This rule of mixture applies to germanic people that live in germanic and non-germanic lands. Spaniards, Italian, greek, poruguese, romanian, and those in the slavik regions are all Aryan. Slavik languages also belongs to the Proto-indo family that originates in the Aryan regions now Iran and India that evolved into indo-european as they entered the caucases and Europe. Semitic languages are not Aryan. Color of skin, hair, eyes all vary within the Aryan family.

the Aryans and their language were the ancestors of people from Europe to India. Even if they hypotheitically never reached Spain (or Italy) the first time around, by Roman and post-Roman times descendants of Aryan peoples were all through the Mediterranean and north Africa.
So any Latino descendant of spain (or Europe in general) would be just as Aryan as an English person, a Persian, an Arab, a German, a Swede or a Pakistani.
Hitler and others had (an ironically) very limited understanding of Aryans.

Aryan=Iranians...
that is where that term evolves from...
I don't know how white-supremists got ahold of it...
Latino=Roman
Nazi's also try to steal the roman culture as their own...
hense the salutation of lifting once hand in the air. And many of their symbols.
English however was created from several languages (germanic and French and Latin)...
