"These men (the Portuguese) are merchants ... They drink

and then they lost everything to britain and every single one of their colonies is a shithole

the end

azores, macau and madeira aren't shitholes

Wow, how small were Chinese where they thought Shortuguese were tall?

>>78109684
You forgot some oil countries like Qatar and Bahrain but they weren't really colonies

I wish Portugal would have kept cape verde so bad and so no reason why it became independent. I feel similarly about Sao Tome and Princip but understand the geography makes independence more likely. Cape Verde was lacking both a population of non-assimilated Portuguese as well as impracticable geographic barriers.

>, white men came out of the water
Honestly curious. Is White subjective? Like to a Brown or Black person, does a Tan/Olive skinned Southern European seem White? What about to a light skinned oriental person like Japanese, Koreans or Chinese?

>>78109618
We didn't lost them to anyone.We lost them to the native population

Are you autistic?Are you telling me northern europeans don't tan if they are exposed to southern european weather everyday?
It's easy to be pale when you don't leave the house(believe me I know)

>>78110063
Kinda related.
I've heard black kids say that they used to think Asians were white due to their similar skin tones.

>Is White subjective
no fucking shit, sherlock. you're wondering this now?
your country has changed the definition of white more times than anyone and you're asking this question?

>>78110063
Skin colour isn't really how most people separate. It's how their faces look. To an asian, all people from the west look pretty much the same. Ofc if I showed you a Slav, a Greek and an Irishman, you'd almost certainly be able tell them apart. You wouldn't be able to that for a Japanese, a Korean and a Chinese as easily, even though to them they look very different in general.

Just by their faces. No need for colours.

São Tomé's oil would probably be handy for us. Problem is they had native population so keeping it would be seen as "colonialism"

We are decedents of the Carians.

Probably a decent amount of sailors had auburn beards and Chinese stereotyped them all as red because it sticks out.
