There not white...White people are not semetic
You're both arguing due to misused words -- white <> Caucasian and white <> Aryan/Indo-European.
Semites are Caucasian. Semites are not Indo-European. White-skinned folks can be Indo-European or Semitic or Dravidian or Finno-Ugaritic (all Caucasian people), they can also be Turkic-Mongol folks (Turks for example)
The terms "white" or "black" or "brown" is hardly a scientific differentiation or else Iranis (from Aryan land viz. Iran) would be mostly brown skinned and those folks who got a deep tan would seemingly change from "white" to "brown".
