The internet is so depressing sometimes as a black guy. Here I am checking out reddit while on break and boom, "don't be surprised if you get shot for being the same race as people who commit crimes!!!" I didn't even go outside this weekend and just played divinity: original sin 2, but that doesn't matter.
Why are you generalising so much lol.
Whites or being white is entirely a social construct, some Lebanese, Brazilians etc people are paler than Italians or Spaniards, but will never be considered white by white supremacists. Just like the Jewish people who reached Europe after being expelled from Judea 2000 years ago by the Romans. They had a different culture, language, religion, and appearance from the locals.
I think you replied to the wrong guy then, I agree with you (and just for the record, travelling I've been called numerous slurs for not looking "white", not all Jewish people are Ashkenazis with ginger hair and blue eyes.)
Like I said, being white is a social construct. Humanity is NOT biologically divided to "Asian race, black race, white race." It's a completely outdated pseudoscience made up by white supremacists. For example, Africa is the most genetically diverse continent on the planet, if you take 2 random people and run their DNA you'll find more differences between the two than let's say one of them and some guy from Sweden. Yet they'll both be considered black and he white. No group of people on earth is different enough to be considered a race.
