Here is where you and I differ. What is your definition of a "white
person?"

A white person is a person of a race characterized by light
pigmentation of the skin. There are many definitions of "white", and
it varies from country to country. On Planet Payton, white is anyone
with light skin pigmentation who speaks only English.

Cite your source EE. I never said that. There are plenty of whites who speak
many different languages oher than english.

A Caucasian is generally thought to be of European ancestry.

Mostly. There are people considered to be caucasian that are from N.
Africa and the Middle East.

Thats nice, but who cares where someone comes from?
I'll tell you something that is 100% true. When I was growing up, no one
ever cared about someone's nationality. I moved to Massachusetts in 1968 and
around 1972, when I was 28 years old, I was working in a house and got
talking to the old lady, who owned it. She asked me my nationality and I had
to tell her "I don't know, other than European". She thought it was
incredible that I didn't know, so that night I asked my mother and found out
I was English and Irish. I've never been one to care about someone's
nationaity, race or heritage.


What percentage of the population of South America are pure European?

Who cares?

Many. Of course, the definition of "white" varies from country to
country. But the majority of Argentines are of white, mostly European
ancestry. OTOH, in Mexico, most of the total population are Mestizos,
which are people of European and Amerindian ancestry. A small percent
are "white", from European and Mid Eastern decent. And the indigenous
peoples of Mexico mostly do not speak Spanish.

I am white, even though I am part Hispanic and part Cherokee. My skin
color is an 'olive' color (depending how long I stay in the sun) like
the Mediterranean peoples of south Spain, France and Italy, even
though I have English, German, Irish, Welsh, Cherokee ancestry on my
dad's side. I am not as white as someone like, say Dr. Bob, even
though I have a lot of his ancestry. Frankly, I tan better than Dr.
Bob. :>)

Clear as mud?

clearer than mud.
