Average location of phenotypes in Europe

[incel194012940]

that irrelevant
scandinavians and north baltics have always been whiter

Those are descended from a higher ancient race, if anything they are superior to whites

If you can tan

Depends, because of mixing with balkancels some Turks are easily white passing

What about lappish?

That’s more prevalent further north (Nordland, Troms og Finnmark counties) among Samis or among people of Sami or Kven ancestry, I live further south so don’t see it that often, though if you drive up into the mountains where Samis live you can find some

I view the term white as a synonim for European.

I imagine many people do if disregarding phenotypical differences, but that doesn't seem quite right to me. Especially when many do base it off on appearance.

What is European? A nationality? Ethnicity?

No matter how you slice the concepts, none of those labels fit.

The term "European" encompasses far too many diverse ethnic groups to be considered a single entity. Greeks and Sami have nearly nothing in common, even though they are both European.

but I’d make a distinction between Europeans and Middle Easterns, Central Asians.

But why is that distinction made when at glance; a swarthy South Italian resembles the average Tunisian more than someone in Copenhagen? Or when a man in Bucharest, Romania. resembles a Turk a lot more than he does someone in Munich? Is it cultural and/or historical significance?

They are a mix of genetic, cultural, historical and religious boundaries

The genetic, cultural, historical & religious boundaries are not following the sovereign state boundaries of today. The cultural, genetic, historical, and religious similitude are shared across state boundaries.


Excuses if some of this comes off as philosophical, it likely is.

rly the terms exist to recognize the ends of the spectrum
so you have way to differentiate between clearly white and clearly black people
its the same as regular old colors
what you classify as red or orange can get blurry, but at the end of the day red is most of the time clearly different from orange

Frankly, they're oversimplifications, which are often fine in practice and hell even necessary. It makes it possible for us to make sense of our complex reality somewhat.
Issues arise, however, when people aren't conscious of this. Less individualistic and more collectivistic people use these oversimplifications to peddle their ideology- even if it's incongruent with the nuanced reality of things.

i know, i thought about saying asians arent included but thought its obvious enough
nobody questions whether pale skinned asians are white or not, ppl question if a turk or north indian is white or not

It is obvious but making exceptions means it makes for bad evaluation criteria. Which is supposed to be accurate and unambiguous which this one is not.

sure, brown is still a subjective idea, but at least here you can use deciding factors like whether the person is european or not, or if he's muslim/hindu/jewish or not

Even the deciding factors are not universally agreed upon. An ethnic Austrian being Jewish wouldn't make him any less white (to most) while it somehow would for someone who isn't indisputably white.
