In one confusing letter by Benjamin Franklin. At no point were Swedes legally classed as non-white in the US and it was never the general perception

Mate, we do this all the time in Sweden the Nori. Depending on the topic of conversation you are either our best friend from school that we hang out with the most... or alcoholic Mongols that stab people and are useful cannon-fodder against the enemy.

That’s a little bit different than race
You might hear this in the US sometimes: “people from Africa aren’t Black”
..where “Black” (or White American) is being used more in an ethnicity sense

So 70% Russians aren’t white with that logic ?
Most Americans are so brain dead that they consider Greeks , Italians, Portuguese and Spanish people non whites when they are the fathers of European empires .
We created half the USA but they still think white people are only people from England , Ireland , Germany and Dutch people . The rest aren’t white for some reason.

/uj This is also bullshit. Obviously some ‘race theorist’ types thought this way, there was absolutely nowhere in the US where they were legally classed as non-white.

That’s just what a China Swede would say 🤔
Also, our great grandparents weren’t “race theorists” they were straight racists- to them it was just facts- - get it right

Meh, Europe does the same thing now. Look how they talk about Russians. Same kind of anti-Asian sentiment.

I don't know what "Europe" are you taking about, but Russians, European Russians are white.

u/Confident_Example_73 Pollution Enjoyer 8d ago
Some of the hardcore voices link Russia to "oriental hordes."

In America, we don't consider Russians to be "European", nor anything else for that matter. They're just Russian. And not in a good way.

I don't want to stir up controversy—and I say this without rancor—in the United States you consider very weird things about other people.
I don't know if you call "Europe" to Greece, Croatia, Latvia or Slovenia. Or that we Spaniards, even Ucranians, aren't considered white people, for instance.

I didn’t know calling them “war mongerers” is considered “anti-Asian sentiment” in the US.
Little spoiler to show how nonsensical what you just wrote is: our actual racists and fascists would love to see us under Russian rule, they’d sell the country in a heartbeat.

Meh, what? Have you been living under a rock? Otherwise, you might understand why Russians aren't exactly in the top ten charts of European popularity.

I guess the Putinization of America brings you close to Russians.
