Come on (maybe it's the beer talking), but whites are those people who need to get a tan at a tanning booth or a beach. Those that avoid the sun fearing they will get even darker are not "white." They all could be caucasian though. I know that Indians are caucasian...but I would not call them "white" for christsake.

As I said earlier,a woman I know,whom I grew up with,is of mixed races.When we went to the beach,as kids,her mother doused her with stuff,because otherwise,she would have burnt to a crisp and she is lighter than a whole LOT of people you would consider to be WHITE!

The father of one of my daughter's friends is Indian.He's VERY pale and NOT the product of intermarriage.

I personally knows Italians,who are darker than either of these people;yet you would call an Italian "WHITE". :-)
