Well I am aware I don't look physically white, especially compared to someone of North European descent. Even people here say I don't look white. They say I look Middle Eastern or Latina. I do agree that I resemble these groups more than Nordics and whatnot. But yes, still European.
Okay then why do you care about "whites" as some team? In the past and now as well, it is normal to see other Europeans as outsiders. If Germany laid a siege on Italy, it is still an invasion no? Why can't you just be proud of your own kind only like a regular person? I only care about Italy since I am Italian, yet you try to paint me as abnormal when it's really the opposite.
It's always those American idiots who see any woman with a darker skin tone and call her Latina.
I care about my ethnicity because I like it, I like the history, I like being Italian/German/Spanish/French
Because of that, I'm white/caucasian, because of that I'm tall, and I have a good frame and a pretty face.
European is a nationality, yes, you can just consider yourself European, I understand, but you can also consider yourself Caucasian, all Europeans came from the Caucasus (or almost all).
I don't think you're abnormal, I just find it strange that you don't consider yourself white/Caucasian. I'm sorry if you've experienced ethnic hatred from Americans.
Middle Eastern? Have you ever seen someone from the Middle East with that nose, that mouth, and that phenotype? No.
and You don't need to compare yourself to other Europeans to consider yourself white.
Many people are simply foolish and judge others without even studying the basics of phenotype and ethnicity.
You don't look Latina, You speak Italian, now that's a language derived from Latin. that's all.
