Why are Saamis and Lappids not white if they are indigenous people from Europe?

That's something I honestly never got it.

Who says they are not white?

[Carlito's Way]

that is like saying why arent those Caucasoid native North Africans not black if they are from Africa lol

[Finnish Swede]

Why indigenous people from Europe should be ''whites''?

For me whole ''US-term'' white is insignificant.

They are not entirely indigenous to Europe, they have admixtures from Siberia.
