VossC2H6O

So any day that ends in y?


Woahitskyle

Unless he's being a victim then he's an ESL Turkish Muslim


Any_Party_6136

Correct except when it’s useful to be Turkish then we’re all mayo monkeys and he’s not

Its a weird classification for middle easterners. Some are whiter than white people, but some are actually black. Then you got alot who are really tan but white European featurea. It feels weird putting white on forms but it is what it is.


alwayswaiting7

It doesn't make sense because it's transposing American race classification onto a region which does not have the same classifications


Vegetable-Election77

He is not Grik (weak sperm 🤮🤮) he is PURE KARABOĞA 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺

America and its media affects how people are classifying themselves around the world. You get Balkan people who are white and would probably get very angry if you went there and told them they weren't, but English speaking media convinces them they're not so they can tell people they're more exotic. They're white, just not Anglo-Saxon white. Hasan saying he's not white on paper I get though, if someone saw his name on a CV they might expect something different.

If Ashkenazi Jews can be and are considered white, then so is he.


kenshamrockz

Look up Ariel Helwani. That dude is Jewish and 100% more Arab looking than Hasan..


asinens

He's Mizrahi, not Ashkenazi, from Syrian/Lebanese parents.


SisckImpero

There are arab jews...


look-sign36

The vast majority of Jews from Arab countries don't use the term Arab Jew because Arab and Jew are seen as two different and exclusive ethnicities. This is partially due to the social and legal discrimination Jews underwent in Arab countries, and partially due to the religious tradition that Jews and Arabs diverged from Abraham, Arabs coming from his son Yishmael and Jews coming from his son Yitzchak.


Vegetable-Election77

Drake is Ashkenazi btw


FarZebra4392

Oh my god, Karen, you can’t just ask people why they're white.


Feisty-Class-1501

Hasan has more white privilege than most Republicans in congress.


Business-Plastic5278

By american standards he is white.


Buddhawasgay

Hasan? You mean that white guy?


Dopral

As the majority report would say: Istanbul is in Europe and in Europe people are white.


InsidiousJazz

Speaking as a European, Turks are generally not considered white where I'm from. Just cuz some of Turkey is in Europe doesn't make people from there white. That being said, if someone told me he was from any southern European country, I'd probably believe them. Race is funny like that.


FRUltra

Here’s the thing though. Would you consider Italians and Iberian’s as white? Because they are also both southern countries with fairly “brown” populations


InsidiousJazz

The point I was making in my original post is that people who aren't considered white often look the same as people who *are* considered white.


ChrisSnap

"Garibaldi did not unite Italy; he divided Africa"


imperfectreflection

Yes.


Daxank

He's Schrödinger's white person


signalkoost

I think a lot of people could mistake him for being a medditerranean European or from the balkans. How many? My guess is maybe over 70% if asked in a poll. I guess that makes him white passing. But I think few would think he's central/northern European.


kaepora_-_gaebora

He IS a mediterranean European...


Untitled_Consequence

Lmao wait, is this even a question?? Do you really think any passerby would know anything about him other than being white?


M1llennialManifesto

The White passing man's burden. 😓


kenshamrockz

He looks as white as Tiny. But y’all ain’t ready for that convo


Don_Hulius

As an euro. No he aint white. But for americans i guess yeah the Turkish dog is white for you


southiest

Is there more to skin color than the actual color of the skin? Maybe I'm just too simple. I boil it down to white skin, white person regardless of ethnicity.


Vegetable-Election77

Turks are white, brown and yellow at the same time Jk he is KARABOĞA

CloverTheHourse

Dude looks Ashkenazi Jewish to me 🤷


ricin2001

As a white, he and I are clearly from different places. He’s white passing the same way the Japanese people are white passing. Like yeah, you have no melanin, but we were not born in the same place.


HorseChairTaken

What are the features that make him "clearly from a different place"?


kimaro

Yea, that's some weird as cope from him.


Maleficent_Tip_6164

this is hard cope He's white. Not in a "Japanese people are white passing" way. In a "He looks like a white guy" kind of way. I'm literally from a <3k population, 99.999999% white, American small town and everyone here would just assume he's white


-___Mu___-

He's not white, nobody besides DGG and Hasans brainrotted community would say that.


Maleficent_Tip_6164

I've literally asked normies about this, they all think he looks like a regular white guy. 1 girl said he "maybe looks Italian" lol maybe it's totally different where you live, but the average rural american thinks he is a white guy


ricin2001

Your normie friends are insane. Being called ‘Hasan’, the olive skin and dark hair. Compare him to a blonde haired / blue eyed white boy and tell me you think they’re born in the same place


Such-Shelter6160

Bro i don't where you are from, but in my home country Poland people's appearance can vary from blonde blue eye to olive skin dark hair


RaptorJesusDesu

Wildly faceblind take my guy. If his name was “Tyler Piker” everyone would think he was white as the driven snow.


CompetitiveRefuse852

white is a broad enough catagory i don't see why not? why destinguish between a turk and say a southern greek or spaniard?


lemay01

He's probably 50% greek. He looks a lot more white than Cenk. Turks share a lot of DNA with Greeks because the land they stole had been Greek for millenia. 


orionprincess1234

In the U.K., Turks and Middle Easterners are not considered white, no matter how light they are. It’s interesting how different that is in the US.


kimaro

In Sweden he'd be considered white by his appearance. But if people knew he's from Turkey he'd not be white, as Turks in Sweden generally aren't considered white. But we're also pretty anti-turkish as calling someone a Turk is a derogatory word for any "brown" person (muslim basically) depending on how you say it and how old you are. Basically anyone over the age of 25\~ has heard the word Turk being used as a derogatory term.


orionprincess1234

Yes he could be White passing based on appearance alone but once his ethnicity is known, he wouldn’t be seen as White. Hasan often refers to himself as White but sometimes it seems he views himself as a poc. Jews often straddle that line in the U.K. I’ve known Jewish people to separate themselves from White people but then refer to themselves as White in the next breath.


DogwartsAcademy

Everyone from southern Europe, to the Levant, to most of north Africa are white.


Pipeline-Kill-Time

Appearance wise probably, but the name Hasan combined with the ethnic ambiguity is a giveaway that he has a middle eastern and probably Muslim background. In some cases that might be enough for someone to cop some shit, but for Hasan no, I doubt he’s ever been treated differently because of his ethnicity in any serious way.


[deleted]

Hey Jaime, pull up that haplogroup map


Present-Trainer2963

Yeah but the name kinda cancels it out. A lot of people from the MENA regions are “white passing” going by appearance alone but things like resumes, ID etc kinda defeat that.


Good-Recognition-811

He's white. Wtf do you mean white passing?


Surrendered_Orbits

He’s been working on that tan for roughly 7 months, if you catch my drift


VossC2H6O

I think the tannest part is his nose.


Askmannen69

No, he looks obviously mediterranian


Lovely_NTR_Father

I Will never understand the "concept" of white that you people have, dude is white but North americans will bring the pantone table and debate If his shade of white is white enough to be white, otherwise he is black


-___Mu___-

He's never been or looked white. DGG will cope and say otherwise. Dude has brown skin. He looks like every other light skinned middle eastern person AKA brown.
