    They weren’t considered white in early 20th century Europe either… There was a whole thing about it…

      German Jews weren’t white? Of course they were, and I don’t really care for “what the nazis (or other racist group) considered them as”.

        Being white is a fully made up concept and not some biological reality so “what the Nazis considered them as” is literally just as valid as whatever idea you have about what white is. All it really comes down to how is society treats the given group.

          That was the most stupid thing I have heard in a long time.

          It’s probably some racist conspiracy crap if you dig into it so you’re blocked lol
