this is my response to this @TheStonerOne's thread:

well I'll give you 6 reasons why you can't compare Ashkenazi Jews to these two and why they're not white European:
1. Ashkenazi aren't white European because they're originally a Semitic group. Sure, they mixed with Europeans a lot and that's why they often look similar to European people. However, we all know their DNA is about 30-60% non-European, depending on a person.
You may compare them to originally non-European Hungarians, Finns and Estonians - well these peoples are more than 95% European GENETIC-WISE. And that brings us to my point number 2.
2. Race is not just about your DNA, it's also about culture and FEELING (internal and external).
Some Romanians or Slovaks will maybe make fun of Hungarians that they're "Mongols" but at the end of the day, they're similar to their neighbours. They're alienated because of their language, not anything else.
Romani people are also heavily mixed with Europeans and their South Asian admixture is sometimes very low, let's say only 20-40%. They sometimes look similar to Europeans. But you know what? Nobody considers them European. The same goes for Jews, whether they be Ashkenazi or even Sephardic - nobody sees them as fellow Europeans simply because they aren't, neither genetically nor culturally.
3. This is kinda addition to my previous two points: if they were "the same as us" they wouldn't had been alienated by Europeans. Not only because of their religion and culture, but also their specific appearance.
I mean just look at antisemitic propaganda in Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Nazi Germany and other countries. If they're the same race, why would you caricature "your fellows" that btw don't even look like your fellows?
4. Ashkenazi Jews just like Sephardic Jews aren't native to Europe, just like Romani people aren't. They're outsiders here. Their native land is in the Levant.
"Swarthy" Southern Europeans are, on the other hand, native to Europe, their countries are their homelands. They're connected to the Mediterranean, just like Northern Europeans are rooted in Scandinavia and so on.
Jews lived in Europe for centuries but that didn't make them European. If an European lives in Africa for 7 centuries, does that make him African?
5. Cherry-picking is annoying because it's inconsistent. Not all Ashkenazis look the same. They're diverse.
"Ashkenazi are light-haired so they're not the real Jews" - well then that means Muhammad al-Yaqoubi, Muhammad's descendant isn't Arab because he's a ginger and looks Celtic. I've seen many blue-eyed Arabs. Does that makes them less Semitic? Also, it's not all about colouring - look at Mark Zuckerberg, he doesn't look white to me.
6. Whiteness as a racial category is a social construct so we can consider white whoever we think (or FEEL!) we should.
In America, even Indians and Arabs are considered white, so are Jews as well. Let me tell you something - whiteness is artifical but if we're making it meaningful then let's stick it to Europeanness. We all know well who's European and who's not so let me tell you in the name of all of us Europeans - Ashkenazi belong to the Levant and Greeks, Sicilians, Sardinians, Portuguese, Albanians, Spaniards, Bulgarians, East Slavs and so on - BELONG TO EUROPE BECAUSE THEIR HOME IS THERE.

If Ashkenazi Jews aren't "white European" then neither are Southern Italians and Greeks.
One of the (many) reasons why white supremacists why white supremacists exclude Ashkenazim from the oh so exclusive club of "whiteness" is due to their Middle Eastern ancestry. Ironically enough, they use Lazaridis' 2014 study to "prove" that Ashkenazim aren't "white". Before getting into how...
