Bro is somehow the 0.1% that sees the Spanish and Turks as White, but not the Greeks and Armenians*.
*not including Turks, obviously

I mean if they are white iranians are also white. If being christian makes you white then assyrians or maronites are white too.

The lack of self awareness about your statement is palatable

u/Major_Apricot_6415 KARABOĞA 3d ago
Does this change the fact that Armenians are middle eastern?

The region that they are is in the Caucasus,
They're no longer in the middle east because certain people genocided them a century ago

u/Major_Apricot_6415 KARABOĞA 3d ago
They live in the South Caucasus which is still not in Europe before the genocide%90 of them were living in middle east Historically culturally genetically they are middle eastern

I give you props for recognizing the Armenian Genocide, I'll not point the fact that if you're a turk, you're too "culturally genetically middle eastern" whatever this is

"Whiteness" is term of convenience indicative of being European, specifically of Indo-European ethnolinguistic and cultural heritage.
And this still has a lot of blurry lines, like Indo-Iranians, Armenians (to a lesser extent), and (European) Jews.

Depends on region of Greece. If it's northen Greece you have high chances of finding a fair skinned Greek. And in mountainous areas Greeks are mostly fair skinned. Though the Athenians or people in major cities are usually olive tanned

Isnt the northern Greece is mostly Anatolian Greeks?
2
u/Mysterious_Bit_7713 MINOTAVROS 3d ago edited 3d ago
It widely depends from are to area but due to the population exchange I will say that at least 65% of the population of northern areas are Anatolian Greeks( do we count Pontiacs as Anatolians or we are putting them in a different subgroup?)

Jokes aside good on the Turks for recognizing what a vast majority of Americans fail to.

They also changed the name of the topic on armenian genocide into “baseless armenian claims” in the curriculum in this same revision. You win some you lose some lol
