Talk:White people

Caucasian and White

As the U.S. Supreme Court said, being Caucasian is different than being White. A great part of Indians are not white but they are Caucasian as their features are Caucasian. Millions of Indians are black caucasians.--88.18.148.166 (talk) 03:08, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Wow! Can you share the ruling with us? Thanks! Slrubenstein | Talk 12:02, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Probably referring to United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind. --JWB (talk) 15:53, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I was thinking of a diferent kind of Indian. In any event, the Court decision in this case held that the term "caucasian" was an especially problematic term that did not have scientific validity. The court did not hold that Indians are Caucasians. I don't know who does. Slrubenstein | Talk 19:02, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Are Southern Italians and Portuguese Black Caucasians as well? They have African blood in them!

Are Northern Europeans Yellow Caucasians, because they have much more Asian blodd in them¡

Iranians in the UK

Iranians are allegedly classed as "white" in Britain according to the arguments on the British Mixed page. Readers, please help this confused fool who is writing this otherwise! - if south Asians mixed wth Europeans are "mixed-Race" then so are the mixed offsprings of Whites and Iranians! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.223.187.83 (talk) 12:37, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Bizzare section

The features of a white person are very briefly listed under this heading before going on about why they have light skin and the science behind it. Shouldn't this be in a different section, and the distinguishing other features have a more prominent discussion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.169.58.66 (talk) 10:57, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Mexico

The article makes reference to countries with majority or a significant percentage of white population among its population (ie 40%, 50% or more), but Mexico has been added by User:C.Kent87, which is inappropriate, because the percentage Caucasians in Mexico varies from 9% to a maximum of 17% which is a minority ethnic group in that country, of mestizo and amerindian majority [1] [2] Ccrazymann (talk) 21:29, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

White Americans are in fact less white than they tend to believe.

From there I cut and pasted this:

I note that less than 70% of European Americans are 90% or more European in ancestry. The remaining 30%+ has significant African and/or Amerindian admixture. Also, about 25-30% of African Americans and less than 45% of African Caribbeans are 90% or more African. The remainder has significan European admixture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.39.43.48 (talk) 17:40, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
