      Re-reading the thread and the responses are wild. Like much more than I initially thought

      America is technically mixed race, but the average white American is 98.5% white (and western european to boot), unlike any "white" person in any Latin country where even the least mixed people are still 20% Native admixed

      that's like 90% of Latin America or 75% of South America. They're not white, they're admixed with Europeans. Just like Black Americans are. I know a lot of you think you're white because you're lighter skinned than black people. Arabs and lighter skinned Indians also think that a lot of the time. They're not. Almost everyone in Northern Europe and Anglo America can tell the difference

      and tbh even Argentinians don't really look that white to me on average.

      Italians also just look different in a way which doesn't exist for Irish Polish or even Russian people. They're darker, and they look more proximal to Arabs or Mexicans depending on who you ask. only from the (visibly darker pigmented) European periphery of Spain

      holy FUCK. what-the-hell How are these different from 4Chan comments

        i really belive the average white hexbear is seconds away from pulling out the skull mesuring tools. ive also had at least half a dozen white hexbears say argue with me to say that hasanabi is not white and him claiming hes white is the same as a black republican saying racism is over. some even said that if a white European person reverts to islam that makes them not white .

        also mind linking that thread?

          This is the reply from CatratchoPalestino that started everything I think: https://hexbear.net/comment/4389987

          and this is the effort post in response to what had happened: https://hexbear.net/post/1423571

          People here always say that whiteness isn't clearly defined then turn into race scientists the second a POC challenges their preconceived notion of who is white lmao.

          I've seen your arguments with various crackers on this site, and I have tremendous respect for you to be able to keep your composure around them while standing your ground. This place can get so unbearably white and misogynistic at times... so mad props fidel-salute

            I completely missed this one, but its pretty wild. Especially when you see people on hexbear talking about how the Latino community in the US isn't monolithic anytime there is a discussion about American electoral politics.

            Then someone who actually lives in Latin America points out how white people within those countries consider themselves to be part of the West and suddenly the crackers feel the need to point out that no, Latinos aren't white? Lol, what fucking clown shit.

            Its amazing how quickly a number of whites here forget to stick to all the beliefs they talk about on the regular.
