White immigrants weren’t always considered white — and acceptable
Who, exactly, is white? The answer sounds obvious — we know a white person when we see one, we think. But when Italians poured into America in the late 1800s an…

I thought you were talking about the foundation of Western civilization. Leaving Greece out of that is silly.

No poop head brought up white supremacy. I think white people in an American sense and white supremacy sense just got lucky they had a buffer zone between them and the real threats.

Lots of white people in my opinion are not considered white or aryan in a rather silly way by racist people. Even your skin color won’t save you from their prejudices.

Here are your statistics brother, under the United States.
Southern Spain and Portugal, southern Italy including Sicily, all controlled by Muslim Moors for hundreds of years. The reason you don't consider them white people is because they mixed with Moors for hundreds of years. But actually northern Italy is what you consider classic Caucasian. The reason Turkey and Greece are enemies today is because of hundreds of years of fighting with the Ottoman Turks who dominated that region. You cut out Austria but they're Germanic. And yes, Eastern Europeans are Caucasian.
Says who, the English? Irish, Scottish, Welsh are all Celtic cultures. Celts are Caucasian.
Just, apparently, negative stereotypes.

A brief history of America’s hostility to a previous generation of Mediterranean migrants — Italians - The World from PRX
A wave of migrants from the Mediterranean meets a hostile reception from many Americans. The migrants are seen as alien in religion, culture, politics, law. So different in fact that some Americans argue that they can never be assimilated. They are the Italians, in the 1890s.

I’m not trying to be offensive, we were discussing europe in a white identity way. The only white supremacy/white identity I know about is the American sense of it. It comes from an Anglo-Saxon background. It’s mostly a cultural and religious thing, but it’s the roots of what became a white supremacist ideology if I understand correctly.
Am I wrong about this?

How so? Did Anglo-Saxon views not help shape the white identity of America? What proof do you offer to counter this?
