The guy wasn't racially white either though. He was a syrian migrant.

    Hold on, being Irish makes me not white? What?

    so since I'm half Irish, half german does that make me half white or double white?

    "White" just means an ethnic native of Europe. European groups spanning from Meds to Nords are white. I don't think Central Asian caucasian subgroups have ever been considered racially white, even if they're genetic cousins to Europeans.

    If I remember correctly, Persians were considered white at one time, but not Arabs.

    edit: It looks like Arabs are considered white with the U.S. Census Bureau.

    The US census bureau is slowly defining more and more ethnicities as "white" to hide the declining European-American population. I wouldn't take them as an official source on race realism.

    Also, Aryans (persians, high-caste indians) are considered the closest relatives to modern Europeans in central Asia. Still, their inclusion among whites isn't the traditional thinking and still isn't accepted by many people, themselves included. https://www.postbulletin.com/life/lifestyles/census-bureau-says-arabs-and-persians-are-white-but-many/article_0cfd03cc-5644-11e9-89e9-e3801f69148b.html Keep in mind that being officially labeled "white" also carries many stigmas and drawbacks these days, with increasing persecution and systemic racism against whites. Being a POC essentially makes you a higher caste in the racial caste system being created in the US.

    Cool information. Maybe Persians were the blending of many ethnicities at the crossroads of the Silk Road, so they can fall on either side of the fence. As modern societal policies seem to place POC higher in the caste system, I think it actually keeps them down. It makes society treat them as incompetent and not as capable as "whites", so much so that they need help or hand-outs.
