white has nothing to do with skin tone or any of that shit. my family is white, i have never really have anyone to dispute this claim. that being said i have family members that are dark complected, darker than some arabs i have met, or atleast on par with them. why then don't i accept these arabs as being white?

because white is a social term, it means "of fully european descent" just as the man on stormfront claims.

lets say you are a 1/16th native american. if you were to not tell anyone about this, we would all assume you were completely white. if you were to tell us you were a 1/16th native american then we would see you as "mostly white*" and for all intents and purposes you would be, but there is always that * there that says "and some indian too". thats not necessarily a bad thing, but it is what it is. as i have said in earlier posts, white is a very very exclusionary term, that was how it was designed. to be a term to seperate the elite from those of what were percieved to be "lesser races" etc. it has since broadened to include a whole host of people, including the irish the germans the italians the greeks and the jews, who were all at one time not considered white. (this also puts a hole in your white=germanic theory as germans and irish are germanic people) but they have been accepted as such now. who knows, maybe one day arabs and the like will also be seen as white, until then though they are not. and there isn't much anyone can do about it.


for the record when i say "dark complected" i mean olive skin tone, i don't mean they are like brown or anything.
