Re: Are "whites" in Europe and the US the same?

In the Us, it depends on who you talk to and where. In some parts of the US, whites mean anyone of Northern European or Germanic heritage. So, a person who is light eyed, light haired and extremely fair skin (before a tan) like someone of Norwegian heritage would be considered "white" while a dark eyes, dark haired, olive skin person like someone of Sicilian heritage would not. And, yet, in other parts of the US, anyone who is of ethnic European heritage is considered white. So, a Greek would be considered just as white as a Swede.

It really depends what's the ethnic majority norm for the area. The area where you have to look Northern European/Germanic is usually middle America because, guess what, the ethnic majority that settled there is Northern European/Germanic. So, if you go away from that "norm" you are considered an outsider. While some place more diverse like NYC goes less by what you look like and more by your country of origin because they are less likely to have a ethnic majority norm.
