definition of whiteness

I don’t understand. If you doubt that you’re white you most likely aren’t white. I’ve never ever met a white person irl who doubted their own racial make up.
have you ever met a white person? i mean, how do you know if he is white, you certainly don't know his heritage fully. or even if he defines himself as white, how do you know he isn't lying?

Well if I met a nordic person with blue eyes and blond hair he most likely has white genes and white heritage.

Those mutations that you talked about sre rare and if they happen it’s like seeing a person with ALS or something.

it barely explains anything. How do you know if the whiteness and nordicness even exist? and even if they do, then how? are these ideas of whiteness and nordicness exist in things, or only in your perception? or perhaps in the world of ideas

Because you can see it in their looks. Race manifests itself in traits such as phenotypes, haircolor, eyecolor etc. I suggest that you look into physiognomy.

Do german sheperds exist? Do labradors exist? Is the sky red? Is 2+2=5? This is just subjectivism at it’s worst

non-existence doesn't exist, so such things you mentioned do exist
but how do you know in what way exactly way they exist, maybe it's only your perception lol

How do you know the sky is blue
it's predicate is blue, but i can't prove what how it feels like "blue", qualia is by definition a subjective thing, even though i'm an objectivist in my accidental quality

Yeah so you don’t really believe in anything. You’re an anti realist.

not believing in anything is called solipsism though.
in that anti-realism (nominalism) vs. realism debate i stand for realists though

You could say he's technically 'white' but he's not european. White is usually synonymous with european.
"European" is too vague. A Sardinian "European" (who is also rather pigmented on average BTW) isn't the same as a Polish "European". A Sicilian "European" (who's also rather pigmented) is genetically closer to Kurds than to Britons, Russians, Germans and anything North of France.

There's no hard separation between "Europeans" and "West Asians" since many "West Asians" are closer to "Europeans" than to other "West Asians" and vice versa. If you're arguing for "race" (which is undeniably a biologically meaningless concept) then there's a general "Western Eurasian" race but not a general "European" one.

Also most "European" countries don't take statistics on "race". So it's not even a social construct that most follow; only English speaking countries still promote this nonsense.
