How do would you define White people ?


race cultural construct (someone on here said "social construct" , that's not true.) it's cultural construct based on arbitrary observations of groups of peoples.
genetic markers tie many groups of peoples result of living within close proximity of 1 have no bearing on person's (as mentioned) phenotype, however. that's why frizzy hair , straight hair don't implicate person's ancestry.
additionally, language speak, culture identify with, subgroup, livelihood , behavior aren't determined fall in constructs of "race."

how define "white people?"
today, majority of peoples awake modern literature on subject, define privilege given them (again, mentioned) phenotype. using either terms "white" (indicating appear "white" , have ancestry can traced parts of europe many generations) or "white passing" (indicating though don't @ trace ancestry parts of europe, appear "white" , receive "white privilege.") because again, outlined, white cultural construct. , if shoe fits...

question how define race, , how define person "white"? these found in europe a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h. classify these phenotype "white" or "european" in origin , if so, having 1 or many dominant european phenotype makes white? thanks.
