A human being whose dermis relatively lacks eumelanin and is relatively abundant in pheomelanin. With respect to much ambiguity between ideal and unreal ethnic polarities, such as the more olive skin of Mediterannean and Middle-Eastern in comparison to Norweigians and Irish, or the ambiguity in mixed ethnicities such as the Portuguese-African genetic descendents of Cape Verde or Spanish-English Welsh of southern England, the criterion for a person being considered white may be best considered as simply the ratio of light-coloured pheomelanin to dark-coloured eumelanin.
It's REAL cold in New Brunswick, kid, so you best not be pheomelanin-recessive, my white person, or bring yo Vitamin D supplements, cuz. This tundra ish ain't Zanzibar.
