Re: Race: You're either white or POC?

Swedish and Polish can both pass as white, and therefore it is possible for them to gain all the advantages offered to white people over POC.

Uh, not all Swedish and Polish people have white skin. Plenty of Swedes have Middle Eastern, African, South American or Asian ancestry.

White is just a descriptor and has nothing to do with nationality. So you can be a Swede who is white, and you can be a Swede who is not white.

Exactly.

But ethnic Swedes, on the whole, would be considered white.

Blah blah blah ethnicity doesn't exist, I'm completely colorblind, whatever. Let's not pretend like we didn't know what OP meant.

If they are in the right place. Otherwise, no. It doesn't work like that. In many places in the world, Swedes are viewed differently than Polish. Or as an English friend told me, "The Polish are the Mexicans of Europe. Doing the jobs no one wants and getting the blame when things go tits up." Swedes, on the other hand, are viewed more positively.

Not in Europe they aren't... Also not all Swedes are white, most Polish people are, but not all...

also they are viewed and treated differently in Europe
