apparently science only works on white ppl

Tumblr back at it again with it’s race baiting. There is nothing wrong with thin, white women. Way to be racist, assholes.

1. Actually just white

2. Armenian (y’know, those people who were killed on a larger scale more recently)

3. Actually just white

4. Ashkenazi Jewish (killed on an even larger scale even more recently)

5. Actually just white

6. Romani

7. Ashkenazi Jewish

8. Mexican

9. Actually just white

10. Actually just white

Nice of you to just ignore the ethnicity of half the list

ashkenazi refers to europe- specifically germany, which is in europe. still white.

armenia is…let’s check the map. huh. it’s in europe. still white.

being killed doesn’t actually make you less white, you know? even counting mexico, this list is 90% white and thin women and i think that’s the problem here.

Yes but jews fall under the “oppressed” category and I assumed we’d count that.

Also, take a look at Google images when you search for Armenian people. A large majority of those people have a caramelish skin. Y’know, not white.

I see you’re ignoring Romani

“Even counting Mexico” what the hell is that supposed to mean? When did all of Mexico become white? Sure, there are pale Mexicans, but the large majority have dark skin.

I don’t really see much of a problem. I do know that if it were all latino or all black it’s be getting praised right now. I’m not even going to say there wouldn’t be people saying it’s dumb, but the large majority of people would praise it.

your race does not completely determine your skin color. there are black people with the same skin tone as whites. what it does determine is your facial structure and genetic makeup, and since ashkenazi jews and armenians are from europe, this makes them- you guessed it. european. romani aren’t white because they come from another region entirely. i’m not ignoring them, they aren’t part of the discussion right now.

when i said “even counting mexico”, i meant counting it as a place that is majorly nonwhite.

being oppressed doesn’t make someone nonwhite. not being actually white makes you nonwhite. europeans have a long history of viewing other european people as inferior and nonwhite, but we know from genetics that all of these people are more closely related to each other than the rest of humanity.

…I’m pretty sure that whiteness is a social construct and who “counts” as white varies by time and place (and the idea of whiteness didn’t always exist) and the idea that there are actual ‘racial categories’ goes back to really racist as shit 19th century ideas of physical anthropology that aren’t true anyway… and like borders on continents and shit are arbitrary and everything shades into everything else and if you drew the borders differently you’d get a different result, but in any case the majority of the women on the list occupy the social construct of whiteness and that shows a lot about our ideas of beauty.
