Why don`t they?Sure they have olive skin,but when compared to the skin color of nonwhite races such as Mexicans and Indians,olive skin is a lot whiter!And Mediterranean people are not only European,or at least have the gene structures of Europeans,the Mediterraneans were the first Western people around(Greece was the first Western civilizationa and its people are olive skinned)!So why don`t they consider olive white?Why don`t they consider Arabs(considering most of them have olive skin and look Mediterranean) white?Why don`t Americans consider Mediterranean culture(especially Greek) White?And why do people on this website keep saying that Mediterranean people have black ancestors?There is no proof for this!Please reply!

1)Go to Europe,and you`ll notice that Mediterranean people (including Arabs) consider themselves white!
2)Europeans with lighter skin than loiv skin(Ex.Scandinavians,Germans,French,Irish, and British) consider olive-skinned Mediterranean people white!

those groups are full of ignorant, uneducated people, thats why they see a difference. besides, its not enough to be cacasoid, they want you to be Aryan (blond hair, blue eyes, light white skin etc.)

I'll tell you the iron truth. Mediterranean Europe may not be the westernest west but is the place where the west is being born every f... day. Someday it will be proven that in Europe we are all some kind of Celts. Germans=North Celts, Mediterranean=South Celts, Slavs=Eastern Celts etc. I say all these in a non racial way of any kind. Also olive skin is a minority in Mediterranean, tanning is the majority.

To tell you the truth I always thought Mediterranean people were white. I have Mediterranean blood in me, and I never knew any different.
I actually look more like a Scandinavian white though. I am pretty pale skinned, and have lighter hair, and blue eyes. It wasn't until a few years ago when my mom decided to do some genealogical research that she realized that we had a Mediterranean background.

because what people these days have to understand is that its not just the skin that makes a race but its genes. do arabs look anything like whites in the face no they dont. micheal jackson has white skin but black genes so hes not white but black. just like italiens people say their not white because of their skin but they have white genes which makes them white.

Americans are not a white supremacy group. I am an American, and not a white supremacist. I know many other Americans, none of whom is a white supremacist.

We do. It's mostly so-called "anti-racists" (anti-whites) that say they (and other whites, like Italians, Spaniards, Irish, etc) aren't white. I have no idea where they came up with that idea, but I believe the reason is to divide the white race. Someone above me said "divide and conquer." I believe that to be the case.

why would you expect groups based on ignorance and narrow mindedness to actually research ethnic history? and more importantly, why would you group "americans" with these others? other countries are guilty of the same prejudices americans are. this question has no merit, except to bairt people into silliness.
