this is a term used to incorectly label people with ethnicity from europe (correct describer: caucasain) who have light color skin. light skin can be within range from yellow to peach to pink to tan to orange to light red. mixing all these colors together, gets your ever-so-frequently-used-slur: "WHITE". all humans, please, open your eyes and tell me those color hues make white. "white" cannnot be a culture. white cannot be a race. white cannot be a people. and I, for-a-fact, canNOT be a fucking color.
"hey "white" person help me to the red bull"-person 1 "I'm sorry, do I look like i fell out of a crayola crayon box? read my name tag and show respect."-person 2

Blumenbach's final taxonomy of 1795 divided all humans into five groups, defined both by geography and appearance--in his order, the Caucasian variety, for the light-skinned people of Europe and adjacent parts of Asia and Africa; the Mongolian variety, for most other inhabitants of Asia, including China and Japan; the Ethiopian variety, for the dark- skinned people of Africa; the American variety, for most native populations of the New World; and the Malay variety, for the Polynesians and Melanesians of the Pacific and for the aborigines of Australia.
Linnaeus divided the species Homo sapiens into four basic varieties, defined primarily by geography and, interestingly, not in the ranked order favored by most Europeans in the racist tradition--Americanus, Europaeus, Asiaticus, and Afer, or African. In so doing, Linnaeus presented nothing original; he merely mapped humans onto the four geographic regions of conventional cartography.
The overt geometry of Linnaeus's model is not linear or hierarchical. When we visualize his scheme as an essential picture in our mind, we see a map of the world divided into four regions, with the people in each region characterized by a list of different traits.
So a "White" person is according to these taxonomists a person who had come from a region of the northern world.

These taxonomists were "white" themselves.

Figment of imagination. Never met one. Look at 'white' people and you will see they are not white, they come in all different shades of pink through brown. Give it up, morons.

Kev: "Which one"
Al: "That one!"
Kev: "He's darker than me!"
Al: "OK, look at brownie, he can't play"

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.
