No, they are predominantly Western European (Dutch, German, French Huguenot).

If you want to focus on the groups here that are evil... by all means. But to go on and on about black this... white that... mixed here... genes there... caucasian this... and black mixed that... are you focused on hating people who are evil... or just different than you?
It sounds like a KKK rally in here and some of the folks in here are simply racist for no other reason than they don't like people who look different. There's no question about it. G-d created all the traits and features of human beings in His ultimate wisdom and perfection. Now the people who have free choice and do evil, hate that.
We are not a racist organization and some might want to rethink their position. What kind of attention do you want to bring to the forum? What type of members do you want to attract? Do you think that this might prevent some serious people from joining our organization because you like to go over the top on this stuff? Geez... and when Chaim is trying to get into Israel.
You know where I stand on common black culture in this country (it's evil) but this stuff is just garbage. You should all be a little embarrassed. This is ignorant and foolish. Spend more time on worrying if a group is evil and less on what color or genetic makeup they are. Jews are all different colors... and I don't think that thought is crossing some minds.

Jeffguy, you have such an excellent way to articulate exactly what the relevent issues are here, the issues that I fully agree with. It's just that you know how to articulate it better than I ever could :)

But now that Erica has made a response like this, it's now become a 4 page thread.

Remember I made the monumental mistake of calling 'Jewish' a race (AND apologized)? People were calling me racist and all sorts of things. I mentioned that I didn't know and was sorry and people STILL bashed me for it. Talk about unforgiving. lol Jeffguy is an honorable person. I disagree with him ALSO but I respect him more because he doesn't have to call people names to get his point accross. I could learn a lot from his example.

Most Italians are Caucasian, and not White.
To those who say now that there is no difference, I will say this:
I am Caucasian. Not because I check the box "White" in applications. But because I was born and raised in the Caucasus region, and look Caucasian and no way White European.
Native Caucasian people, by the way, look Mediterranean, and in no way like people of Norway or Germany, who can be truly classified as Whites.

They are still white. All Caucasians are white, not just what you called white Europeans. The reason the word white, which is a light color, is used, is because ethnocentric Europeans invented the term. So therefore, there are white North Africans, white Western Asians, white Central Asians, and white Southern Asians.

Well, I don't take into consideration only the skin color, but an average psycho-type. I think it has a lot to do with the climate and geography of habitat.
The Shadow:
Italians are kinda like Jews. Some have a darker complexion, and some have a fair complexion. For the most part Jews and Italians are white. Some Jews and Italians have blue or green eyes also.
