Berbers can be white. It used to be before the Arabs and Blacks invaded the country.

This is actually true but not a lot of people know this and it's too much of a pain to substantiate. It seems incredulous and doesn't usually help the point anyways. It's just easier to say non-Europeans aren't white

Also the Vandals had a short-lived empire in North Africa

Old comment I know but I can't help but ask, how can Berbers/North Africans be White?

From what we can tell, North Africans used to be "whiter" (or more genetically european) than they are now. Some of this can be inferred from ancient art but also through genetic testing on mummies. Basically, North Africans became less white after Arab/Islamic empires took over the region after 900 AD or so (there were some SS African incursions into Egypt as well in later antiquity). I dont know much about Berbers specifically but I would assume a good bit of Arab DNA has been mixed into them over time
