Certain white people shouldn't be white but they are. I've see italians and greeks who are far darker than people in my family who are considered black but yet they get the pedigree of whiteness. The whol racial game is crazy. Smh.

What? LOL Why shouldn't they be considered white. The first people to called white was the Persian people. Not b/c they were very pale but b/c compared to rest of the people in that area (Arab) they were much lighter. From their sprouted Europeans. All Europeans have a close common ancestor and also Europeans are heavily mixed with each other. For example, I've traced a few people on my tree some as far back 1000. They go through Celtic, Germanic, and Roman. We all carry 2 sets of a mutated gene that causes white skin. The only difference is b/c where some of us live or lived (ancestors) their is different amounts of melanin. The more uv rays you were exposed to the more you needed the less uv rays the less you needed. On top of that alot times it more to do with just being more tan. As in getting more sun but the un exposed areas are pretty white.
 
Are you thinking of the other Mediterranean? As in Red Sea? Ethiopians are not Mediterraneans. You can't even call them Red Seans anymore, if there's such a thing. They're landlocked since Eritrea, once a province of Ethiopia, became an independent country in '93.

This reminds one the area of Gangs of New york, many Irish and Italians were not considered white. In fact they use to have sing "No Irish or Dogs allowed".

America, an interesting nation.

This is something that was going on in the 19th century. Prior to that it was not an issue. Well not entirely ethic discrimination always existed. Some idiots decided that only Germanic and Vikings were pure white and everyone else was mixed black and or Asian.
Look at Royalty in Europe. Clearly they had no problem marrying each other from the Celts to the Spanish, English, etc.

Italians are recent inductees into the white race.So are the Irish believe it or not.

I think they were brought into America to offset the Black population...because we sure as hell didn't need them...and their home countries couldn't wait to get rid of as many as possible.

The first to come over and was heavily discriminated against was the Scot Irish. They were the ones whom were forced to leave their home in Lower Scotland b/c of their religion. Then they came to America from Ulster Ireland. Many came as indentured servants. Although some were kidnapped into slavery and did not agree to it at all. They ended up intermixing with the English. Then later came the Irish. The British took their country. Many died in the famine and alot came to the US desperate for survival. Although many died. They were transported on ships like African slaves were. They were then oppressed and Later Latin people started coming over and again oppression.

how would you distinguish differences in skin color/phenotype?

I wouldn't on a social level. We've been doing it far too long and all it does is divide the poor and keeps us fighting amongst ourselves while the wealthy takes advantage.
I just read an artical about the new global elite who doesn't care about race or ethnic ties only money. They realize that a New York Industrialist has more in common with a middle eastern prince than perhaps another new yorker of the same skin tone or ethnic background because they probably went to the same prestigious schools and have the same expensive tastes. There's a very obvious clear division between the haves and the have nots now and we this racial nonsense only makes argue amongst ourselves. If some of you dummies want to cling to the idea that someone looking similar to you makes them like you then we're lost because all culture was and is are means of survival. Being Irish, Jamaican, English, Keyan, American, black,white, brown, yellow, or whatever is meaningless in comparison to what it means to be human.
Let be clear when I say skin color and phenotype may have some scientific value when tracking disease or evolution but socially it has absolutely no value other than to divide us. It seriously needs to stop.

Listen up genius most people considered white aren't white its a classification. All people period have common ancestors. Why only stop with those who share certain phenotypes like light eyes and skin. I know that white privilege is awesome but it only blinds you and seperates you kid.

Yet they have no problem being racist which amazes me. I'll say this about black people in this country we have never been offensively racist just defensively racist. Meaning only against those who fucked with us first.
Right after 911 you know how easy it would have been for us to look down on Arabs but we didn't it was business as usual while their beloved white people dragged them into the streets and beat them.
