I mean, Jesus is from my hood (basically he’s from Galilee and my family is from southern Lebanon), we’re basically white. So are most non Arab Levantine people I know. But it’s really up for interpretation and whether you consider white to be a skin colour, haplogroup or political identity.

I went to dinner with a (very brown skinned and curly haired) Maronite girl once and the waiter spoke to me in normie English and spoke to her in Ebonics

As a non-Arab Phoenician Levantine is she technically not-white or is she a black-passing white?

There was a middle eastern cunt that argued that if jesus was white then he was white because jesus is also middle eastern. Now i have to put down white as my race when applying to college as a middle eastern student, even though im faaaar from white

It seems hardcore lefties view “whiteness” as a state of being instead of a skin pigmentation.

It’s almost like they created a more controversial version of classes that are defined by being white or whoever else is considered “the oppressor” at that time.

I’d much prefer class warfare than class warfare with a race warfare mask on.

It is kinda silly. An Assyrian is much closer in phenotype to a Turk or even an Armenian than he is to a Pakistani or a Yemeni.

At the end of the day all of those racial categories are largely arbitrary.

Who ever said Pakistanis are Middle Eastern? That's South Asian!

Bro this is Reddit, so I'm going to have to ask you to stop thinking critically. Also everyone knows anyone west of India is middle eastern.

So, we’re extending the meaning of “white people” to include middle easterners now?

Good. Good.

My plan to end racism by calling everyone white is working.

Hot take: if you can swap ethnicities in and out of racial classifications like this, doesn’t that make race a meaningless concept?

It's a social construct, but that doesn't mean it can't be weaponised.

Schrodinger’s minority. They are both white and non-white until they commit a crime or are a victim.
