If Caucasians count as white, then Iranians are white. A lot of Iranians are also religious and right wing too. The average Republican and the average Iranian would agree with each other on nearly everything if they could somehow have a conversation without divulging their country, clothes, and specific God.
“White” is whatever the racists want to establish as the civilized norm which needs to defend itself against the non-white barbarians.
Arguing with “caucasians are from Caucasia” is stooping to the racist’s level of discourse. You shouldn’t argue with Nazis about the nature of “Aryans”, either.
that only applies to white people, silly!

You got it the wrong way around. Race is made up to justify racism.
Italians (and the Irish, too, I think) once didn’t count as white, for crying out loud.
Germans too. Benjamin Franklin called them swarthy. “White” has always been a social construct to delineate an ingroup.
Okay, but if literal Caucasians from Caucasia don’t count as white, then wtf does white even mean.
nothing, that’s the whole point of whiteness
its a made up in-group created to justify and facilitate european colonialism
It’s anyone who can go out wearing cargo shorts, tall socks, and trainers without being immediately made fun of.

White is Israel and US Republican elites.
