No, white is a race. Race has a genetic factor. I think if this man were 100% African, and tried to march with the Nazis, people would address the fact that he was not white. I think even news reporters would touch upon the fact that he was not white.
A person can strap on a pair of fake wings and wear a tutu, running around screaming that he, or she, is a fairy princess, but it does not indeed make that person a fairy princess.
i just looked into it. ±230,000 years ago the first anatomical homosapiens emerged in ethiopia, and subsequently migrated in waves called the “northern” migration and the “southern” migration. no earlier evidence of homosapiens exists than this.

of course not. that is, unless as a society we construct an identity “fairy princess” that is defined as strapped on fake wings, a tutu, and proclaiming oneself to be one.
I’m fairly certain the parent commenter is either a troll and/or heavily on the spectrum and is extremely literal while armed with bad information. I’m leaning towards the former.

i don’t know what this means, but everyone originated in africa iirc
That’s not true. A lot of people may have origin ties to Africa, but there are some dna lines that didn’t start in Africa.

There is always Neanderthal dna lies: http://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/genetics/ancient-dna-and-neanderthals
… where? where did the neanderthal dna originate?
Ooh oooh ooh! I know, I know!
Africa.

Ol’ Mr. 88 up above our comments.
in so far as all race is a social construct, and whiteness is one of those constructs, this is true.
And it’s an ever-shifting construct to serve the ends of the powerful. The invention of whiteness: the long history of a dangerous idea
