How come historically the Celts, Meds, Slavs, Jews, or even Nords were not considered white? Why weren’t Catholics or Orthodox believers white? How come “white” used to be specifically identifying those of Anglo-German Protestant, and how did it expand to the entirety of Europe and to an extent even including MENA? What even is “whiteness?” Is it just a social construct in the end? Was the definition expansion used to claim the previous superior civilizations before the 18th century?
They weren't. Ben Franklin was one guy, he wasn't writing on behalf of the entire people. And he was a satirist. I'm convinced that essay is satire because he welcomed immigration of Germans and was a Francophile, he just disliked how they didn't assimilate.
>>18056730>Celts, Meds, Slavs, Jews, or even Nords were not considered whiteBullshit. Ben was taking a piss on catholics for allowing literal brown and black people to identify along side whites as the body of Christ. Ben was a legend and you are a shithead.
Because if you ask 5 different White Nationalist spergs to define "White" you will get 5 different answers
>>18056730>Celts, Meds, Slavs, Jews, or even Nords>Jews
>>18056749Who has white skin isn't hard to figure out. Stop trying to muddy the waters, its not complex.
>>18056752Not the subtlest niggas around Jeety even
>>18056760Cretans, Sicilians, Sardinians, Balearic Islanders, Maltese - these people are Europeans that aren't White, then. And the the rare Mongoloid with a ruddy skin tone similar to a Brit is now White. Sounds retarded.
>>18056772>Greeks had brown skinSure buddy, sure. (Not really)
>>18056730So according to this meme map, Ben Franklin thought his fellow signers of the Declaration of Independence Charles Carroll and Thomas McKean (both of Irish descent) and Button Gwinnett, Francis Lewis, Lewis Morris and William Floyd (all of Welsh descent or actually born in Wales) were gentlemen of color?
>>18056772sicilians are the same as other meds i don't know why people bully them.
The concept of whiteness is fluid. Irish, Italians, Jews were nonwhite in the 1800s; now they’re not.
>>18056749Anyone who have european ancestry
In the 1800s, White meant Anglo.In the 1900s, White meant Germanic.In the 2000s, White means European.
>>18056730Because of people who look like Donarumma and Alessia Cara and organized crime. Meds weren't seen as nonwhite only Southern Italy and Sicily. Jews self explanatory. Slavs? Low IQ and don't accomplish much
>>18057012We went from retarded, to sensible, to retarded understanding of race
>>18056949Because people in Sicily, parts of Calabria, Malta are White but have more admixture. See picrel with dad_scaled. Most of his ancestry was from that region.
>>18057026>15% NatufianThat is 300% greater than what they actually are, which is 5% Natufian, compared to Northern Italy's 3%. You need to stop using this BS.
>>18057369On G25, people like Basilicata and Abrruzzo get around 6% which is close to the 5% figure. It seems to vary from region to region. I wasn't posting the numbers as fact just showing how my dad scores above the average. He has some crypto Jewsh ancestry though as he's related to lots of Jews and people claiming "crypto Jewish" background.
>>18057369My point was he was scoring 15 compared to the 7.8 South Italy mainland average.
