Again I repeat my question - exactly who do you mean by white?
According to the Census Mexicans are White.
Blacks only account for 20% of the population, so why are we having these meaningless Black vrs White arguments when we are talking about immigration?

A white person is anyone for whom the majority of the ancestry is European, who considers themselves "white" and is considered by most other whites to be "white".

The Johnson Reed Act introduced in 1924 and repealed after WWII when the international capitilists ( BB - Big Businessmen or B####y B######s ) took power defined what was historical American. European is not good enough: thanks to migration from Afro-Asia during the Roman Empire, Southern Europeans aren't stictly Europeans. Similarly the Mongol,Avar migrations and the Schlachta induced migrations of the Polish Comonwealth implies the same for Eastern Europeans hence the Quota system based on the Census of 1890.
Is this a trick question?

Sorry to break the news to you, Bert... but the Mongols occupied most of Europe (including Germany and France) not only Eastern Europe and mixed with the natives.
According to the "Johnson Reed Act" Germans and Scandinavians do not qualify as "real" caucasians either.

AHA!!!
So race is not only a biological concept but also a cultural, psychological one.
Well... the biological component of the terms race, caucasian, white, etc... is real but the "cultural" part is bullshit.
Example:
Saeb Erakat (palestinian negotiator) is a white person no matter how many times people in Europe and the US call him an "arab".
Erakat's ETHNICITY is arab but his RACE is white, he's clearly a caucasian individual.

I don't know if I'd get too excited. I throw in "self-consideration" and "regard by others" as a check, not so much an expansion. Does Mr. Erakat consider himself "white", in the Norman Rockwell sense? I'm not sure I consider him close family. He'd get AA, that is for sure. But I would not.
I guess another qualification for white would be, "would the New York Times love you, or hate you"?
They'd love Erakat.
They'd hate me, and about 150 million other American whites.
