>>19608280>What can influence whether someone is perceived as "White"?Phenotype, attractiveness, context
A good example is Freddie Mercury. He has a European phenotype, is handsome, and in the context of being the lead singer of the most famous British band, most people don't realise that he's Persian.
Another example is Cat Stevens. Look at pictures of him today. He's tanned and has a grey beard. If you met him on the street and he was preaching Islam to you, would you know that he's 100% English? He literally looks like an Arab imam.
