>>18539213Most people who say that don’t actually believe it, they’re just using it in banter to get a reaction. When I say most people, I mean like 75% even when they sound serious.
Only a few people genuinely believe it. There are myths that derive from Nordicist Racial Theory (flawed an incorrect), Turkish anti-Greek propaganda, Albanian anti-Greek Propaganda, German/Austrian anti-Italian Propaganda, French anti-Italian Propaganda, and English and French anti-Spanish Propaganda. Some of it comes from cope from historical revisionists, basically Arabs saying “we iz superior to whites because Romans wuz Mediterranean therefore not white and basically we wuz romans conquering whitey”.
Not every white person has blonde hair, blue eyes, and skin so light that you can see the blue in their veins, with only pink undertones. Not every white person has to be R1a or R1b haplogroup. Not every white person has to have a certain nose shape or lip size. You get my point.
If Greeks, Italians, Spaniard, Mediterraneans in general aren’t white, then the genetic inpact they left disqualifies about 40% of the rest of Europe from whiteness, and it would also mean that 90% of our cultural and technological base and progress was not achieved by whites, or at least the idea that it was expanded upon from didn’t orginiate from whites.
I consider Finns, Hungarians, Bulgarians, Greeks, Turks (only ones with little to no Central Asian DNA, and mainly European DNA, language =/= genetics), Azeris, Georgians, Armenians, Chechens, Dagestanis, Circassians, Ossetians, Pashtuns (Pure IE, not assimilated Indians and Mongols), Tajiks (without Turkic admixture), Lebanese/West Syrian (Greco-Phoenician), Berbers (Genetically Isolated Atlantean Tribes, Carthaginian Descendants, not the ones that mixed with blacks), Assyrians, Cyrpiots, Italians, Spaniards, Persians (Again pure Indo-European, not brown natives/migrants who assimilated linguistically) and Portuguese all to be white
