skin color is skin color, regardless of ethnicity and even within diff people of the same ethnicity everyone on earth has skin color somewhere from that ghostly pink tinted white skin to brown tinted white skin to yellowish brown tinted light brown to red tinted brown to medium brown to dark brown.....that is just the color of your skin and has nothing to do with whether you are from a"white" european country or not....i know irish people born in ireland that are darker skin and hair then people that are full latin or filipino or whatever "brown" color....i know filipino kids that are HELLA darker then MOST "black" people i know...i know chinese cats that got yellowy red tinted white skin and get called "white".......skin color is just what the average person is gonna describe you as looking from first glance....ethnicity is a more logical thing to be proud of since a country, unlike a color has a history and culture attached to it...but nowadays because of the rarity of anybody even being of half "pure" ethnicity, people are more likely to be proud of the country that they live in rather then where their ancestry is from especially once the culture and traditions of the old country fade out of day to day family life.....
Im Portuguese... I mark white when filling out government forms BUT we are not "white" in the sense of what we think of "white boy," corn fed, redneck ect. Growing up I always got along with the latino's and shit our family's had more in common, go down San Jose, Santa Clara street there is more of a co-existence due to similarities.
South America has plenty of "white" people look at Argentina, Paraguay. I've always considered myself Latin, because "white" is way to general just like: Black, Brown and Yellow.

"White" has a negative connotation associated with American Pop Culture. They're un-hip, no rhythm, racist, rich, privileged, trailer Trash, Republican, Baptist and the list can go on.
I think any race that does not deal with direct racism is considered "white" even if there skin is dark/tan/olive. Ever see a Romanian? Bosnian? Turkish? they concidered white, and look nothing white
ok im done wit it... that is my Portuguese consensus

when god was handing out my negative connotations at birth, he plum forgot un-hip, no rythem, rich, racist, privileged, republican, baptist and the other things not listed! clearly i got the short end of the stick if all i got was trailer trash.... do i get a do over? cause i would really like the privileged and rich parts....
Haha its the "white" stereotype Dutch... We all know, at least I hope we all know that white people struggle, and our stuck in this countrys class war. media just don't like to show that. They like to talk about reverse racism and college republicans, not working class Americans -which almost all races fall in - that share very similar economic hardships
Did you read my post above what you wrote, I think your getting defensive ?
You tell me why in American pop/ hip hop culture its not the "in" thing to be white? I was just pointing out some stereotypes of being white, but when are stereotypes ever fully true? Never. That's the only point I was horn after
