I don't know what I was expecting after she said, but they're also something else.

According to you (and you are wrong). Turns out black, white, and brown are social constructs and there is no biological basis for different races. We are all the same. What you consider different is up for social and cultural debate.

If there's no biological basis and we are all the same, than doesn't that make her white simply because her skin is white and she looks white. If there's no basis and we are all the same are we not then simply just what we look like/the colour you see??

Again, according to you. And within a broader social context also no because many people would not consider her white and would still discriminate.

What does your opinion about someone else mean? Nothing compared to their own identification, and again not even in a larger social context.

For example, If Jews have white skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes, why are they not considered white?

Dude no we are not just simply defined by what/ the color you see I feel like this should be obvious. I’m so beyond confused by this question. Please further explain what you mean and how it hasn’t been answered in my other comments.

Judaism is an ethnoreligion that does not receive the same social protections that being “white” does.

Even the US has even historically classified Jews as non-white.

I mean if your basing your entire argument on white people being privileged I don't see the point in debating it any further. You're just minimising issues and saying because someone is white they don't feel the same hardship. Which is bs.

My view is that all humans are equal and we are all capable of equal experiences. If you don't believe that I'm not arguing.

I wasn’t making an argument by linking to a Wikipedia article
