BBC: Second Spanish Civil War Is Possible

Yeah, Spanish are Latin, not white.

White (Caucasian) is by far the larger category of the two, and contains the former as a subset.

Nordics, Germanic, Slavs, Latins, and many West Asian and some north African ethnicities fall under the category.

White and caucasian are not the same thing. White is a sub-category of caucasian.

Unity through disunity.
The more the old nations are split the more federalised the small new nations can become.

Or the more weak and ineffectual as you'll suddenly have more and more voices that demand to be heard.

Not really sure it makes sense to give your own nitpick about frivolous concepts like race.

[Valmy]

You have constantly asserted that small countries are bound to fail.

No but the international system is maintained by large countries.  The smaller ones just ride the coattails of the system (or be taken down by the system).  The European countries breaking apart is going to make the Euro-zone, and the world economy, more unstable.

A system comprised of small countries is bound to fail.  But a small country can do great so long as there are other countries around to do the heavy lifting.

[Valmy]

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

It's Josq, sometimes all you can do is shrug and move on.

[Josquius]

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

Nope. That's the way things are.
That's not to say being non-white means they're lesser people or anything, race has been proven to be rather unscientific to say the least, but Spanish people generally aren't regarded as white.

Not really sure it makes sense to give your own nitpick about frivolous concepts like race.

Yeah, its frivolous and unimportant. But that's languish and that's the road things went down.

[Gups]

[Nope. That's the way things are.

When you say "generally", you mean in a small mining town in the north-east of England rather than in the normal world where FFS obviously the Spanish are white?

[Barrister]

Spaniards, Italians and Greeks are very clearly not white, and "latin" is as good a term as any.

[derspiess]

This needs a poll.  But I'd say Spaniards, Italians, and maybe even Greeks would qualify as white, for whatever that's worth.

[Ed Anger]

I'd marry a dago or wop before I'd pollute myself with a Geordie.

[Maximus]

Not really sure it makes sense to give your own nitpick about frivolous concepts like race.

We're talking about people who use terms like "white" to refer to "race" here...

[DGuller]

Have any scientific measurements been performed to answer this question definitively?

There you go with the stalking & whatnot.
