I don't know any white people who are upset about the term 'people of color.' They're the ones who seem to use it the most.

Because it literally frames the whole thing into Whitey vs everyone else.

Doesn't non-white do the same? What's the difference? Does that mean you're afraid of a hypothetical situation in which non-whites become a united bloc and start plotting against you?

White people have color too. The term is just meaningless.

I dunno about other white people, but "people of color" just doesn't mean anything. There's no such thing. There are no people of color. It's a racial engineering scam to try to lump black and Injuns in with foreign invaders, so they can be switched out one for the other. Black people from here have the right to be here. Foreigners don't. Black Americans are entitled to work here.

Instead, our manipulocracy is trying to replace them with Mexicans and Salvadorans who will work for pennies.

Same reason they invented "African American" as a term for black people who are not from Africa: It paints the picture that they might as well leave because, well, they're from Africa.

And when you call them on it, they call you Hitler.

>>78593070
Blacks aren't the only ones under the PoC and yes seeing as they have far more different eyes shapes than you, they are indeed more diverse.

>>78593070
>>78593070
ironically black people are more genetically diverse than white people. probably more culturally diverse if you look at how many different langauges and tribes there are in africa (small countries like sierra leone can have as many different languages as western europe as a whole)

phenotypically there is also some divergence though i guess not in eye colour.

Light eyes and hair aren't exclusive to Europeans or even Caucasians. They just have higher rates of it through selection pressures.
>>78584290
I think people just got pissed that POC is a unifying term in the US and West and they feel excluded even though they are the ones that called themselves white or at the very least called others brown and black.

Cambodia. The native children at times get very blonde hair but as they age it gets brown or brassy.

It's not European genes, in fact you see this coloration amongst upland Papua New Guinea (not the black yet blond Solomon islanders)

There are many different genes for color variation in humans and no doubt more are formed daily in people. All it takes are the selective pressure to make them more common in a given population

>>78593597

>>78593660
who cares

european feature

>>78593740
No it just shows that a middle eastern variation is common in middle eastern-european hybrids. But ultimately just because something is common doesn't mean that it can be claimed by a people.

It's just a genetic bottleneck. Mutations that become prominent through close marriages over the generations. Nothing wrong with that, it's human history.

>>78593775
i dont care

others dont

>>78593714
yes but what of hair and eyes?
subsaharan africa is really genetically diverse, I just mean the term is retarded and brings a pretense of world solidarity against those deemed "white". I bet more so-called "white" people use it than so called "PoC".

>>78593853
So is >>78584619 right? You're afraid?

>>78593791
This is false.

Others do in fact have lighter skin, it's all a matter of mutations and recessive carriers reproducing to make it common.

If light child child grew up and had kids with others who had the genes their children would likely end up also having said genes and phenotype.

That's it, your genes are magically owned. They are just human variation.

>>78593853
Don't act like white people didn't call them selves white and others black/brown/tawny


Those variations exist as well, it's not common but it happens.

Hair texture varies from course to straight, hair color varies from blondish to red to black.

All the color variation Europeans have Africans do as well. It's just a matter of proportion.

>>78593917

>>78594020
Nope.

Igbo, Khoisan, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, etc... Can and often do have light skin.

>>78594020
Caucasians, Central Asians, East Asians, and many Mestizos and MENA people do as well.

Light skin is the standard and what darkens them is tanning. This is common with all people including pale Europeans who tan and get darker.

What always blows my mind is how in the supposed Mecca of free speech that the United States is, there is so much shit like this. You probably have more ordinary terms that you consider racist than we have saunas.
Colored is anachronism? Both things mean non-white anyway. You're literally just saying the same things and talking about the same things people have always talked about, but then you just change the terms from term to another over time so that people don't get their feelings hurt.

>>78594677
How do I put this.

Coloured is like saying negro, both terms were utilized by white people and institutions to demonstrate superiority.

They are exonyms who's main purpose was to convey contempt and inferiority.

Black was a very radical term to say, it used to be an insult. In fact talk to old black people (like 65+) they told me growing up for one black person to call another black person black was the worst thing you could say. People would fight because it was used to mean inferiority.

Well the 1960's rolls around and black youth decided they were going to make Black good, "black is beautiful". It was a very radical thing to do.

Maybe you don't understand it because in your language. But that's not the same here. Then like Coloured and Baster are not insults in Afrikaans people call themselves that proudly..

It's just historical context.

>>78594677
Also freedom of speech is the government not censoring not people telling others to be respectful.

>>78594806
I'm not trying to be an edgelord, but let's put it this way.

>>78594956
It's called common decency and courtesy. The Finnish community sued the US to not be called Mongols and Mongrels and won. People deserve to be called what they call themselves and that changes with time.

Freedom of speech while very vast also common with a social obligation to be respectful in return if that's what's given to you or you give out.

Farmer admixture peaks in Sardinians, the very same admixture you claim gave Europeans their white skin. Neolithic farmers weren't white but had olive skin.

>>78584290
It is a shitty, vague term. Same goes for colored person.

Ironically, we could say that both have some racist connotations, as they basically throw every single non-white race under the same umbrella.

>>78596856
They've decided to use POC, you're just assblasted about reality
>>78596914
Old study, clearly with the new data Sardinians are not in fact representative of Neolithic agriculturalists.

>>78596932
It's not racist in it's broad categorization, it's maintaining that historically and contemporarily non-white people have and do face racial biases and discrimination.

Their unifing characteristic being non-whiteness that causes racial disparity

>>78596941
Indo-European steppe pastoralists gave Europeans their rosy white skin, so unsurprisingly steppe admix peaks in the whitest looking populations. It is common knowledge. Obviously Sardinians aren't identical to Neolithic farmers, but they're closest you'll get to them in terms of skin color and overall phenotype.

>>78596852
how did you know they originated (solely) in Europe? there were anatolian farmers with light eyes and Siberian ANE had derived alleles for blond hair

it probably took a combination of population to give us really blond and really light eyes

>>78597066
Sardinians have extra WHG ancestry that might have darkened them too. the southern european neolithic populations were on average darker-skinned (allele-wise at least) than the anatolian ones because they had extra WHG admixture

>>78596967
I'm not saying it's racist, but it seems like a term that mainly white people who desperately want to come across as PC would use. I would much rather get called Hispanic, or heck, even a spic (as long as it's not being used in a derogatory way, obviously). But I do find it sort of... condescending, I guess? To me, the term feels like a "well, there's us (whites) and then there's them (non-whites)" thing.

Aside from that, it's also inconvenient in everyday usage. When you say that someone is a PoC, you're hardly describing them in a clear manner. They could be black, Hispanic, etc.

But then again, I'm not a fan of the whole "we the opressed" thing. I'm a spic, not a "PoC".

>>78596855
Except that I'm not an edgelord. I just fail to see how a community that has supposedly been through so many hard times and grew up around racism and whatnot manages to be the biggest bunch of touchy little victim mentality having whiners out there, and how apparently fucking words and terms are some of the most pressing issues you have.
If I had to choose what terms to use I would be respectful out of common decency and not wanting to cause a scene, however that's not what this is about.

>>78597092
They might've been lighter, but they certainly didn't look like Northern Europeans who have mostly steppe blood.

>Siberian ANE had derived alleles for blond hair

Hispanic isn't a race. It's taken decades but Americans on the coast lines West and East are finally understanding it's socio-cultural meaning doesn't equal racial meaning.

>>78597189
You are being edgy because clearly the leaps black Americans I've made in less than 70 years is above that of most nations on this planet.

>>78597197
>Probably not, but Europeans are their sole inheritors

those phenotypes exist throughout Western Eurasia, just in different frequencies due to lower/higher population replacement. so I wouldn't say sole, just more important

>ANE weren't Mongoloid, it just happens to peak in populations who nowadays are.

Mongoloid vs Caucasoid for very ancient populations that contributed to both is a bit of a non-issue these days I think, considering we know all major races seem to have had admixture from various sources. either way they were a genetically very outlying population that contributed to both Europeans and Amerindians (and maybe even East Asians) and didn't live in Europe. so you can't call them 'European'

>Foreign influence

not really, since anatolian farmers can be modelled as a mix of other groups you can argue they got their lighter eyes from their WHG-like component but that would still not make their light eyes 'European' - it would mean that light eyes arose outside of Europe too/first

what's clear is that the lightest ancient groups sampled so far (aside from some fringe ones like the SHG) that resemble northern european pigmentation were the Bronze Age steppe ones that were a mix of steppe and native european eef/whg. the sampled yamnaya that had lower eef/whg admixture was less fair but that might just be a coincidence, you'd need more samples

>>78597228
I'm not white and neither do I want to be white. But I can see how term could be useful now. Cheers.

>>78597228
Sure the white rosy skin predates Indo-Europeans, but with them it became widespread; all modern Europeans who have such skin are of primarily Indo-European descent.

>>78597308
Yes because they had the agency and ability to work as a nation to do so after civil war. Not as a minority with little ability to truly govern themselves.


It's a false equivalency.
>>78597403
Steppe nomads brought lactose persistence, I do European middle eastern farmers brought pigmentation changes. The genetics of Sardinia are unique to the island and they themselves have a long and isolated history steering their phenotypical variation.

They are not an accurate portrayal of Indo European middle eastern farmers.

Regardless the fact remains that the pigmentation shifts we see in Europe as a whole is not indigenous to the continent, it's merely bottle necked recessive genes.

Which brings me back to my original point light skin and eyes and hair is not uniquely European, it's proportionality is but the genes and expression of those genes aren't

>>78597349
>those phenotypes exist throughout Western Eurasia, just in different frequencies due to lower/higher population replacement. so I wouldn't say sole, just more important
They're mostly of Indo-European descent, as they spread those genes around primarily, and modern Europeans are their closest descendants.
>Mongoloid vs Caucasoid for very ancient populations that contributed to both is a bit of a non-issue these days I think, considering we know all major races seem to have had admixture from various sources. either way they were a genetically very outlying population that contributed to both Europeans and Amerindians (and maybe even East Asians) and didn't live in Europe. so you can't call them 'European'
I'd call them a Proto-Eurasian population of sorts, but definitely not Mongoloid.
>not really, since anatolian farmers can be modelled as a mix of other groups you can argue they got their lighter eyes from their WHG-like component but that would still not make their light eyes 'European' - it would mean that light eyes arose outside of Europe too/first
Not arose outside of Europe, probably migrated outside of it.
>what's clear is that the lightest ancient groups sampled so far (aside from some fringe ones like the SHG) that resemble northern european pigmentation were the Bronze Age steppe ones that were a mix of steppe and native european eef/whg. the sampled yamnaya that had lower eef/whg admixture was less fair but that might just be a coincidence, you'd need more samples
It is probably a coincidence, especially given how all the samples from the swarthier subset seem to be R1b.

>>78597536
the anatolian farmers brought relative skin and hair depigmentation, compared to the native hunter-gatherers (for most of Europe at least). some farmer/hunter mixtures later on actually appear quite fair

but he's right that the steppe peoples were the fairest population in our record so far, skin-wise at least. and those guys make up 20-50% of modern European ancestry outside of Sardinia. the question for me is whether the general depigmentation of later steppe groups is due to greater admixture from farmer/hunter european sources or just due to our sampling being sparse

but you're right that we shouldn't project modern phenotypes completely onto the past even if the populations are similar. for example Sardinians have extra hunter admixture that might have made their skin darker and farmers in southern europe seem to have selected for lower height while farmers in northern europe for greater

>>78584290
It's a retard term. There's no such thing as "colorless people". It carries as much meaning as "genderfluid" or "moderate muslim".

I do read and quite often on the topic but if you look at the poverty of black Americans you notice

http://www.nytimes.com/newsgraphics/2014/01/05/poverty-map/

The rural South is mostly poor regardless of color and the urban north with it's waning manufacturing that was the sole reason why blacks were brought up is also quite poor.


The position of black Americans is directly related to their parents and grandparents positions, generations unable to gain from the fruits of desegregation and the GI bill in a post WWII landscape. The reality is the poorest of blacks in this generation have always been poor because they've never had access nor have they until recently ever been courted with a real means to succeed. They were a labour class for cheap labour markets who were worked more for less than immigrants from Europe. Then became refuse with the shift of manufacturing from Urban cores to suburbs.

Still the middle class is strong and growing and again my family for the better part of two centuries has lived above that of most Americans regardless of color.

well, yeah, I didn't call them Mongoloid either, just used them to show that blond hair might not have strictly speaking solely or only 'European', in either genetic or geographic sense, origins

and why are you so sure about blue eyes arising in Europe? Villabruna is our oldest sample with likely blue eyes as far as I remember and he has affinities that seem to point to him being a migration from the Balkan-Anatolian area or at least receiving admixture from that area. maybe the Anatolian farmers got their sometimes lighter eyes from local admixture, not something that backmigrated from Europe to Anatolia

It's a complicated history but I just stated my rebuttal to counter this notion of lightness as being intrinsically European since time immemorial from the German poster.

Anyways it's late and I gotta go to bed :-P

Have a good night!

>Steppe nomads brought lactose persistence, I do European middle eastern farmers brought pigmentation changes.
Wrong, they also brought rosy skin. Farmers brought pigmentation changes sure, but they were only lighter than the swarthy huntergatherers.
>Indo-European middle eastern farmers
Early European farmers had nothing to do with Indo-Europeans, in fact Indo-Europeans killed them off wherever they went (excluding their women, of course).
>Regardless the fact remains that the pigmentation shifts we see in Europe as a whole is not indigenous to the continent
Depends on your definition of indigenous, seeing as Indo-Europeans wiped out most their rivals. Also whatever bottleneck you are talking about never took place.
>Which brings me back to my original point light skin and eyes and hair is not uniquely European, it's proportionality is but the genes and expression of those genes aren't
No they aren't, just like epicanthic folds for instance aren't unique to Asians, but both correlate with influence from areas where said traits are dominant.

K so I'mma respond to you one last time and I'm really going to sleep.

>Not denying steppe pigmentation influence, I'm starting their entry into European populations aligns with lactose persistence
>Indo European farmer ≠ equal European farmer however Indo European farmers are behind pigment shift initially. Bottlenecks can arise from selective pressures including the kinds of women picked/intermarried or the degree with which lightest skin was beneficial for long and short term health further north.
>That's my point the epicanthic fold is found on every habitable continent on Earth, it's not uniquely asian it just dominates there. The fold itself arose out of mutations and stabilized.

That was the point. The pressures themselves can exist anywhere there is nothing magical about Europe that created the degree of depigmentation. The conditions of Rosy skin can be replicated anywhere, the question is will it last?

In Papua highlands "red skins" with blondish hair and blueish/hazel eyes can survive given the cloud cover and temperature not being too extreme.

In Nigeria depigmentation has occurred based on breeding pressure alone given just how closely related they are to Yoruba.

The combination of factors that normalized pigmentation across the board is uniquely European, not Europeans themselves.

Goodnight/day

I get your overall point but there's a lot of confusion in your post too

>>78594299
That kid is an albino. Which is very different from having light pigmentation like white people. Albinos have many other problems attached to their condition, like poor eyesight. That's no the case with Europeans.
So stop this "Europeans are just albinos" nonsense.

>>78594356
That kid does not look neither slavic nor finnish you retard. He looks like an albino nigger, which is what he is.

>That was the point. The pressures themselves can exist anywhere there is nothing magical about Europe that created the degree of depigmentation
Rosy skin is ideal for Europe and therefore it prevailed here but not in Asia for instance, if the pressure for those traits could exist anywhere they would've prevailed outside of Europe.
>The combination of factors that normalized pigmentation across the board is uniquely European, not Europeans themselves.
But it does make us unique, anybody who didn't look like us died off because of their disadvantageous traits. The way you put it makes it sound like a non-white could go live in the European wild and turn white overnight, instead of dying due to inability to adapt.

>>78599426
no need to overstate the case either though. in Europe, as far north as Latvia relatively pigmented populations could live without just dying off apparently (I'm sure the fishing helped)

>>78599745
But they all died out because they were at a disadvantage. Inuits too would've died off by now, if it wasn't for their diet and lack of competition.

>>78584290
lets see, because white is also a color
