Like: why aren't Iranians white? To my eyes they look like white people. But they aren't. For reasons. Or are they? Who knows.

Iranians are no more white than Greeks or Spaniards are.

[Grey Fox]

For some White means Anglo-Saxons. I wouldn't even qualify.

It is a long haired white dude. Take it up with Jesus's neighbors descendants if they got it wrong.

Yeah I think you're missing the point though about what makes the Nazi types queasy.  It's not the prospect of Jesus as a Nubian.  More that he's a hook-nose, a Red Sea pedestrian.

It is very possible that my typical problem when dealing with this race thing (trying to figure out what makes somebody a certain race and who qualifies and who doesn't) is indeed the problem

If you subscribe to the theory that there are 3 human races, then Iranians are Caucasians, and so, yeah, therefore white.  If you think there are more than 3 races, then Iranians may or may not be Caucasians. If you think that race is purely a social construct, and therefore apparently there are no observable physical differences between an Australian aborigine and a Norwegian, then you're grumbler.

And if you believe that no statement is complete without a completely bullshit strawman argument, you are dps.

It's a footrace of grumblers.
