>>211631075 (OP)Whiteness is not solely about skin color but also ethnicity and (at least previously) religions attached to ethnicity. You'll notice that we did not consider Irish white or Italians white even though they were clearly light-skinned. This was because they were Catholic, and the 'white nations' E.G. America, Britain, France, had all experienced prosecution for being primarily Protestant at the hands of Catholic majorities, just as Catholic minorities had experienced prosecution at the hands of Protestant majorities. Spain is not considered white for the same reason - its Catholic. Thus, neither are their associated diaspora in Mexico, Central America, etc. etc. Its not just about European DNA or skin color, its very specific parts of Europe trying to ditch other parts of Europe like a bad rash. Our ancestors literally crossed an ocean, travelled 3,000 miles, fought yellow fever and smallpox and slaughtered native populations just to get away from you, now here you are bitching on a Sengalese Electric Toothbrushing Forum because the descriptor we decided to use for this was 'White', which in shorthand generally works because the majority of people excluded by 'White' are brown, yellow or black, just because there are also some people with light skin that it excludes, instead of being pedantically correct and saying 'You're not of the small subset of White, Protestant and Classically Liberal nations that lef to get away from you so fuck off' like you purport that we should.
'White' works just fine, and you know what it means. She's latina, so she's not it.
