          Zinedine Zidane – is a arab-algerian.
          pathun/pathtun from nooristant Afghanistan are famous from having blonde/red hair and all those European features.
          some middle eastern ethnicity have European origin.
          like berbers. north African. even Hitler knows that ..
          they are closer to European rather then arab. some are European leftover. Roman empire. and Greeks.
          there are more to being a white then just superficial physical feature. non-European are not consider whites.. similarly non-Christian are not consider
          white.. white is political turm
          there are to more to being a European is a culture. non-European are not consider whites.
          jews were not consider whites .. Irish were consider different race then white. .

          some Lebanese look white but just like white- Latino they are consider non-white…
          presently I dont give a fuck.

        • sarahle says:

          eh, what? who are you?

          whats the definition of being white? when do someone considers anyone white? is there a color scale where we put people next to so that we can do a better separation?

          anyways, the skin color doesn’t matter and has nothing to do with ethnicities.

    * English, Northern Irish (Scots-Irish), Scottish, as well as distant German, Swiss-French, and Dutch (paternal grandfather)
    *Lebanese (paternal grandmother)
    *Italian (maternal grandfather)
    *English, Irish, and German (maternal grandmother)

    fixed

    • follers says:

      In theory, maybe, but his Lebanese and Italian ancestry is his most recent distinct ancestry. His other two grandparents were many-generations Americans of very mixed roots, and, since their ancestry was fairly similar to each other’s, I think it is easier to understand, and physically looks better, to just bunch them together.

      The text introduction already does it the other way.
