Defining white people and who they are?

I'm interested in seeing what people define as white these days, please people don't use racist, rude terms because it dosen't look good.
I believe in anyone from option 2, including mixed race people (with atleast 50% white in them), because they have enough white in them so IF they want they have every right to be called white, just like alot of mixed race people call themselves black.
As i said again if anyone is going to make racist comments make them somewhere else, also if you want to discuss anyother groups i'd be happy to participate too.

Anyone who has a light complexion, no matter where they are from. For example, I would also call people who may normally be mixed or black, but is albino, to be white. I would also call Michael Jackson white.

White is a color, so any albino is white by definition. But caucasian is the race. You aren't caucasian if you are an albino asian. You are still Asian.

White or Caucasian, whatever you call it it's a made-up 18th and 19th century concept that with hindsight can be summed up as "utter bullshit".
Seriously, Japanese generally have lighter skin than most Italians but aren't considered white, what's up with that?

I voted option 2 as options 3 4 and 5 could potentially have any sort of mixing going on rendering the persons appearance completely non-caucasoid. I do not give a squirt of piss about race, religion or creed, mind you, but it is obvious if one is "white" or not. And isn't everyone in that category descendant from Merry Olde England? lol
Interesting poll.

I'd say whiteness is more a function of what white people will do for you. It's not internal, it's external. If white people wave to you in the street, offer you stuff, and generally act like you're one of them, you probably are.

Back in the English Essex, white peopel (usually with short hair and wearing boots) would often wave at me - not necesarily using all their fingers. And given that I don't have tatoos, and don't swear and fight very often, most of them indeed thought I wa "one of them".

only albinos or dead people that had a pale complexion while they were alive are white

I'd been in the US about a year when I saw a hispanic comedian on TV. He was making various jokes about racial attitudes, and it was then that I realised that hispanics are not considered "white" here. I think the Spanish would be surprised.

White and Black are not colors, they are shades.
Everybody has red blood, so we are all the same color

oh i'll tell you all what a white man is...
a white man is someone who enjoys economically exploiting those in bad situations, they also take shit from the poor, make a shitty piece of shit out of the shit they stole by hiring the people they stole the shit from, pay them shit wages, then sell that same shit the poor just made back to the poor at 10 times or more of the price of the original shit.
god damned honkeys....

As an official member of the PC brigade, I say shame on nonblackstanz for his blatant sexism. What's with all this "white man", "he does this" and "he does that" nonsense? Aren't women equally capable of greed and exploitation>

Genetically, we all descended from a black man and women living in what is now called Africa.
