There are no "white"-skinned people, just as there are no "black"-skinned people. People with bleached white skin are people who are stricken with the genetic disease of albinism where their body cannot make melanin. Virtually all humans have some level of melanin, and therefore a hue of skin color that ranges from very light beige to very dark brown. And we are all somewhere in between.
Race is not part of the scientific classification of humans and all living beings on earth. Race is a false social notion created by beige-colored racist Europeans who used the superficial color of skin (among millions of other features of the human being) to distinguish themselves as better than people with darker complexion. Racists are stupid ignorant people. The historically racist and ignorant US government continues to classify Americans by "race". On questionnaires, Americans are always asked which "race" they belong to, and most Americans find it annoying and insulting that they have to make themselves "fit" into one of several categories of "races", when every American is a genetically mixed bastard.
Please note that the US government never offers the "Jewish" category to choose from, just as it never offers the category of "Christian" or "Muslim". After all, we are bombarded day and night by the US media and government about the so-called "Jewish people" and its right to rape other people and steal their land, then pretend to defend itself from its own victims. The fact the category of "Jewish" is not proposed to the American people is because the government and the media know there is no such category and because Judaism is a just a religion and not a "race" or "ethnicity". There are Black African Jews, Hindi Jews, Arab Jews, Chinese Jews, Iranian Persian Jews, East European Jews, West European Jews, Mediterranean Jews, North African Jews, Yemeni Jews from the Arabian Gulf...] How can all these people who share one religion become an ethnic group or a "race"?
Muslims do the same inane thing and propagate the same fake notion that there is something called the "Muslim people" when Muslims are of all colors and ethnic backgrounds. Only Christians - except Trump's MAGA morons who want a purely "Christian America" - have abandoned the stupid idea of a "Christian people".
Here is an example of a US government form asking Americans about their "race" or "ethnicity" [In italics are my own comments]:
=================================================
Specific Instructions: The two questions below are designed to identify your ethnicity and race.
Question 1. Are You Hispanic or Latino? - i.e. A person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race. [What the fuck is "Regardless of race"? Can you imagine the breadth of people these categories comprise? People who hail from these countries or cultures are themselves mixed. In most people of "Spanish culture or origin" there is African, European, and Arab at the very least. People who migrated to Latin America took this genetic baggage with them and bred with Africans slaves and colonized indigenous Amerindians. How on earth can an American know which of these he or she belongs to?]
---Yes --- No
Question 2. Please select the racial category or categories with which you most closely identify by placing an “X” in the appropriate box. Check as many as apply. [Note the use of "closely identify with". It implies that even though you may look African and come from a Latin American country, you "feel" like a Spanish person, and therefore you "identify" yourself and check the "Hispanic or Latino" box above. Also note the "Check as many as apply" option, which means that you could be a bastard of all these presumed "races" and feel like you belong to all of them. Perhaps, the idiotic US government should start subjecting people to a DNA test upon whose results it will determine what fucking "race" or "ethnicity" or culture or other bullshit way of classifying people]
RACIAL CATEGORY
(Check as many as apply) DEFINITION OF CATEGORY
----- American Indian or Alaska Native: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America), and who maintains tribal affiliation or community attachment. [So if you are a native Amerindian but live in a city and not on a reservation, you should not check this box because you do not maintain tribal affiliation or community attachment. In other words, the moment you walk out of the reservation, you are no longer a native Amerindian. Which box should you then check? That's another way for the US government to make you disappear from existence, a policy it has been pursuing since the birth of the republic including massacres and expulsions. Israel is doing the same thing with the Palestinians.]
-----Asian: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. [How lovely! Lump all these very different peoples and cultures into one convenient box: Imagine how close is a Sri Lankan to a Japanese person and how, for a white asshole behind a desk in the US government, they're the same.
You know the West does the same convenient colonial-vintage thing with the so-called "Arab race" (under the sublime "White" box below) and the other so-called "Middle Eastern race": Lumping together hundreds of different cultures, religions, geographies and background because most of them, but not all of them, speak a form of Arabic and most of them, but not all of them, are Muslims of various denominations. The US govermment might as well create a new category for the sublime "English" race which would include the English, Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Canadians, Australians, Jamaicans, Nigerians, Americans....etc. because most of them speak a form of English and most of them are Christians of various denominations. Wouldn't that be convenient?
Let us, since we're deep to our eyeballs in this abject stupidity, create new terms from the perspective of Near Easterners, Middle Easterners and Far Easterners: I propose that all Americas (South, Central and North), Greeland, Island, and the UK be lumped together as the "Far West", continental western Europe as the "Middle West", and then Eastern Europe and Russia as the "Near West".]
-----Black or African American: A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa. [Would a mixed White and Black mixed "race" person from a Carribean island fit here? How about a half-African American, half-Japanese? US invading fornicating soldiers, themsleves bastards, always leave behind them thousands of bastards. So let's say, you're a US soldier whose mother was an Italian prostitute in New York and whose father was a Batista Black African Cuban exile. In Vietnam, you fathered a child with a Vietnamese prostitute. That child gets the American citizenship. Which box should this super-bastard American check? And if that person does check all the boxes, how does that help the government? How useful is this information? The government knows that most Americans are bastards with untracable pedigrees, so what gives?]
-----Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands. [No specific reason for creating a special category for these people who, again, might be mixed because of how the white criminal settlers raped these peoples, enslaved them, converted them to fanatic protestantism, destroyed their native cultures, forbade them from speaking their own language, and used their land to conduct nuclear tests whose consequences on their health continue to haunt them]
-----White: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. [Really? Again, these categories of "Caucasian" and "white" are very arbitrary, unscientific, and fallacious. How does a person from Finland in Northern Europe fit into the same box as a Mauritanian from northwestern Africa? How does a Yemeni from the so-called "Middle East" fit into the same box as a Scotsman from Northern Britain? Can someone explain the validity of these categories, and therefore their utility to the idiotic US government?]
