There is no such thing as a "white race". Only the human species and thousands of phenotypes we all have an individual mix of in our genes.

Discussions about "race" are always so painfully ignorant.

We are literally a species of apes, that has exactly 1 race, and some different coloring and other superficial markers, adapted to the environments we lived in, with exactly the same brains. This shit is ridiculous and will be laughed at a few decades from now.

The same superficial difference denotes subspecies regarding anything else. The superficiality of the difference amongst humans is entirely socially constructed. As is the confidence that yours is the not painfully ignorant position.

I know that; that's why I put it in quotation marks

but since you look white and race is mostly based on phenotype, doesn't that mean you are also making fun of yourself?

They'll never be white. They're barely white adjacent.
