pretty telling that first reation of some here can be summed with: what is really white?
This is your daily reminder that Irish and Italians weren't considered white at the beginning of the 20th century in America.
Hell, some people in Europe don't consider albanians to be white.
Also I'd be very concerned as to where all the racial minorities went. Like genuinely concerned.
One of my favorite facts was that West Side Story was initially about the rivalry between polish and Italian immigrants in New York and Leonard Bernstein had to rework it because he received feedback that it would be too niche and people who didn't live in New York in a very specific window of time wouldn't get it.
People who don't live in Europe don't even realise how divided white Europeans are. The Irish and Eastern Europeans are even victims of colonisation.
And forget North America and Europe, just look at Africa and tell me they did not have inter-ethnic conflicts.
The post is very silly and North Americancentric.
Literally Brexit was mostly about Brits not liking other Europeans being free to move to Britain, especially Poles.
I lived in London and unless they actually start talking and you hear their accent (or, even "worse" for the average Brit, their language) you can't actually tell a Pole from a Brit.
So. yeah, a fucking mid-sized country in the modern era has left a massive European trade union which gave them massive benefits (it has been estimated that Britain's GDP is growing 2% less every year because of leaving) because of their xenophobia against other Europeans, especially Eastern and Southern Europeans.
Plot twist: Chinese and Indians are not racial minorities.
There's too many minorities!

Raptured.
With all these immigrants, Heaven for sure has become a bad place, which is why I refused to go there when offered!! When God comes to his sense and remigrate them, I'll reconsider!!
What, you doubt me? Such a lack of faith! You must be a bad Christian! You'll probably go to Hell!
And shit Albanians are the whitest anyone could be, being albino and shit
Whitest people I've seen are from northern China. Europigs have nothing on the..
