Are Greeks, who have the same genes as Jews and Turks, white?

Borderline, I've seen interesting arguments among geneticists on both sides. Culturally I'd say Greeks certainly are.

Honestly? Genetically Semitic people like Arabs, Jews and including north Africans group closely with Europeans. We all have a lot of shared Neolithic ancestry from about 10k ago.

Any group that historically speaks an Indo European language is linked by ancestry from an expanding group of herders in the bronze age. All the way from Spain, Greece, to the Caucasus we are all so closely related it's not worth splitting us.

If anyone wants I can give a more detailed explanation of how we all got to be where we are, but my area of interest is limited to the Europe/West Asia/Northern Africa area.

Hebrew isn't Indo-European.
