persians (and related people) and some arabs (particularly syrians and palestinians) can look pretty fucking white and to call someone's who's clearly caucasian physically "not white" because they're not from europe or whatever is just straight-up retarded

i mean shit the persian language is part of the same language family as german and icelandic and such

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
For the same reason that Spaniards and Mediterranean people aren't white.

They're not white.

Why would you ever group those savages into the same category of civilized whites in the first place?

There is most definitely a distinct middle-eastern race, it's just not everyone there is it. It's like saying Hispanics aren't a distinct racial group because they can look really white or white people can look really hispanic.

Because white is used as a synonym for western/northern European, which Arabs and Persians are not.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
Well when you describe someone as white it's not just their colour that matters it's also their racial heritage.

only Europeans and Americans are white
Any other folk may be white in regards to their skin tone but they are not white by race

By that logic I'm Asian thanks to my black hair and brown eyes, despite being fully British/Irish. It's not the phenotypes that matter, but where they come from.

I'm not fond of almost everyone in the western world being lumped under a label that fails to convey any useful information anyway, all the different cultures and ethnicities that are considered white are fairly distinct so it makes more sense to just name them directly; but as of right now white means western/northern European ancestry and nothing else.

persian is part of the indo-iranian language family, which in turn is part of the indo-european language family

germanic languages are also part of indo-european, as well as slavic, celtic, italic, greek, albanian, armenian, and indo-aryan languages

don't even try to argue what language is related to what with me cuz i know my shit

Saying that two languages are related because they both evolved from the Indo-European language branch is fuckin' stupid, man.

Like, yeah, Swedish and Punjabi are more related than Swedish and Japanese, but they're not exactly close by any means whatsoever.

That'd be like saying you couldn't date some Norwegian girl because, if you go back about two hundred generations, the two of you are really really really distant cousins.

But I guess in the end -- Sort of feels like everyday its harder to stay happy where you are. There are all these ways to look through the fence into your neighbor's yard.

Why even risk it? its safer to stay distant.

it is, admittedly, a quite distant relation, but from a linguistic standpoint, a relation nonetheless

i mean hey, some of the first people to propose the idea of an indo-european language family did so after noticing similarities between sanskrit and latin/greek
