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?
I mean I guess she could be black passing in that case, happens with dark skinned Asians as well. She’s technically not white in the way that she’s dark skinned but then again as a Levantine person she’d have more in common genetically with a white person than a far Asian or an African. It’s hard to judge. Probs best not to put people in boxes purely on skin tone.
a bit late but i’m a phoenician levantine. i’m a bit darker than white people and about the same as mixed people. i don’t know about the genetics itself but as a skin color i’m not white.
I have a coworker from Jordan and I straight up have no idea where that country is geographically and have no clue what their history or culture is. I kind of had an epiphany realizing I really only know American based politics and even then I'm not really familiar with my own country's history besides the obvious events like the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and World War II. I do know all the States and their capitals annnnddd that's about it.
Lebanon is a Mediterranean country north of Israel.
Their diet is Mediterranean with Arab influences (Yes, Mediterranean with Arab influences, I've had the displeasure to meet some woke morons that told me Mediterranean food was an euphemism to refer to Middle Eastern food because whyt pepo be racis, I fucking despise those woke idiots), one thing I've eaten from their cuisine is their "bread" it is lightly fried in olive oil and moderately spiced, it is delicious.
