'White' = Pale Skin?

[oriental]

yes,

White people have pale skin I. and II. type
Swarthy people have swarthy skin III. and IV. type

If people like the Assads were walking down the street anywhere in America people would just assume they're white, and to the US government they already are. I think this matter is much more fluid in real life than it is on the internet.

Well from a physical perspective, they ARE white. There is no white culture though. Because you can't judge someone by what's on the outside.

White = Anglo Saxon Protestant

This. Whenever people talk about "white people" as a culture it's mostly referring to WASPS.

Assad's anthropometric measurements, just from an eye glance, are not NorthWestern European.

There is no white culture though.

???

That is a nice sentiment but in many situations it is untenable. For instance, do you have the Résumé of every person you might pass by in Paris, London, Berlin or Manhattan ? That is absurd and daft. What is your IQ ? LOL

Yamnaya and it's genetically preponderant descendants, as opposed to its fractional descendants, although Euros in the latter are occasionally indistinguishable from the former, possibly because PIEs separated from Meds untold thousands of years ago. This is sometimes bolstered when a Med of impeccable ancestry has moderately pale sharply chiseled features on a rectangular skull, which may have predominated before readmixture with MENAs moving into southern Europe, they having possibly been the root population of Meds before separating into different races millenia earlier. I'm just postulating, of course.

Yamnaya was 50 % Karelian 50 % Caucasus

That maybe happens in USA. For some reason you brownies idolize what Americans think. In Europe white people = Europeans, all of them.

Are you saying most Swedes aren’t White? Remember, Over 50% of Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Finnish, Dutch, German populations are type III and IV. This is why you got to think before you make a statement.

The United States more than any other nation/culture has irredeemably fucked the term "white".

If 'white' was based on WHG then Irish people would be the 'whitest' people which would make the definition useless since Germans and English are clearly superior. White to me is if one can pass in England, Wales, Cornwall, Scotland or Scandinavia basically Northern and NorthWest Europe but the Dutch can be honorary Anglo-Saxons but the Germans can't.

To me 'White' is an Anglo-Saxon concept people in Europe don't even identify as 'white' just as their ethnicity it's only in Britain and the ex-British colonies e.g. Australia and America etc... that 'whiteness' is a thing.

You are ridiculous! Anglo-Saxons came from Sweden, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands by the way. Secondly, the Irish people as a whole, have the fairest skin colour (over 75% are skin type 1 / 2) on earth. The only people lighter than them are those who suffer from albinism.
