Could someone please explain to me that white/not white chart? What is white and not white?
I swear I actually don't know, and I am kind of embarrassed to ask but I just want to know. Is it strictly skin color, like is there an RGBs value that if a person averages a darker saturation then they are not white, and above that bar they are white? Or is it an aggregate of ethnicities that fall into the category of "white"?
Seriously if anyone could help me understand here. I got into an argument with someone not long ago because I said white is not a race, and her friends were backing her up as well.
I just wanna understand.
You're right. White is not a race. Neither is black, brown or purple. People have different levels of melanin in their skin, and that's it. People come from different cultures, and have different norms / frames of reference. That's where diversity of opinion comes from.
To boil that down to a binary categorisation based on literal skin colour is reductionist to say the least. Some might be less generous.
The explanation that made the most sense to me is that yes, there is no such thing as race, it's genetically insignificant. However as a historical construct, we still have to take it into account in order to dismantle things like systemic racism.
