Modern whiteness. What is it? What constitutes the white category of race?

Do some vews actually perpetuate a nazi perspective on race? Its important to know where views come from so we can have informed dialogue.

As you go back in history and races mix, what constitutes modern whiteness. Were the greeks ever white? The romans? Parts of those areas were occupied by non whites for centuries. If they were white, are they still? Italians, French with all the colonialism that brought colonials to their french mainland? The english? Maybe the germans, for now? Most are not blue eyed blond hitler sought after nordic types although able bodied straight tall nordic types are most favored.

Are we headed to collide in the middle? What about those folks?

Where are we with our racial myth? What is whiteness?
