    Aye, my stance is, if you're considered white by most of society, I guess you're white. Just wait until they pulling out calipers and compare you to the "purer" races... and that's an oof for you...

    Whiteness is as consistent as the mutual intelligibility of all the Arabic language(s)

          It's not just whatever Americans think, particularly a Turk living in America, and one with a lot of privilege.

            I'm not thinking of Americans?

            What will be considered white in Spain, will not exactly correlate with what British people would think are white, and so on with Scandinivia, Russia, Germany, U.S.A, etc

            I think my point with Arab languages, with it as a comparison, is that the national dialects within them aren't really mutually intelligible to each other...

              Oh, no, I was referring to Hasan Piker and was making the point that it shouldn't matter what one Turk has to say (or one Arab or one Kurd, etc.), especially out of many.

              But yeah, I get what you're saying here (hopefully, I'm keeping up with the convo; sometimes I reply without seeing the full context, even in the one I'm conversing in LMAO).

              Edit: Actually, now I remember: I was also agreeing with you hahahaha

              Yeah, I think we're good.
