I grew up in a city with 20% Cape Verdeans. Many appear to be African Americans but many appear white. They identify as both, depending on relatives.
My ancestors were from Russia and were white. Ancestry.com claims that back to the 1700’s. That’s on my mother’s side. Dad’s side is from Belfast; all white.
Caucasian may be a better term. But a middle term is needed. Spaniards are not dark skinned but not white skinned, for example. Do we refer to them as Latin skinned? Medium brown skinned?
If someone is American, does that mean white? Native Americans or Indians were here first, they say. Are they considered white? No. But ....
White isn’t blonde hair and blue eyes. Not exclusively anyway. I’m dark-haired but born reddish with brown eyes. I’m white-American if you need to be specific. Albinos can be considered white but many are black.
We’re people. That’s what matters most to open-minded people. Don’t judge on color or nationality and life will be more interesting and pleasant
