Are Algerians considered 'white' or 'arab'?
I'm having an argument with a leftie muslim apologist about the man who killed the Jewish kids and the soldiers in France. He's saying the man's white, and I argued that he's Algerian and not white.

So now I'm being called a bigot and shit because I'm saying Algerians aren't white. I thought they were Arabs, he's saying they're caucasian. Who's right?

In France, we call them milk-coffee, they are not as white as Europeans but do not have the typical Arabic traits.

Algerians would too call themselves "kabyl" or "Berber" but not downright Arabic even if of Muslim faith.

Re: Are Algerians considered 'white' or 'arab'?
is he from the caucases? If not, he's not caucasian.
If he's from africa, he is originally african.

Much more than ones colour in this, are negroid albinos wite debbils or black gods?

The whole colour argument is specious, the real issue is culture, and iwhile n easier times, colour indicated culture, now, not so much.

Your foe, is trying to win on style points.

Re: Are Algerians considered 'white' or 'arab'?
--from wikipedia--

Most Algerians are of Arab or Berber origin, the Arab ethnic presence in the country is mainly due to the Phoenicians and Hilallians migratory movements (3rd century BC and 11th century, respectively). However, the majority of Arabized Berber claims an Arab heritage, which is a consequence of the Arab nationalism of the early 20th century. The Berbers are divided into many groups with varying languages. The largest of these are the Kabyles, who live in the Kabylia Mountains east of Algiers, the Chaoui of North-East Algeria, and the Tuaregs in the southern desert. Another historical migratory movements that made the actual Algerians was the Vandalic invasion of the 5th century,[84] and the Mediterranean trade of the 16th-19th century.
There is also a minority of about 600,000 to 2 million Algerian Turks who arrived in the region during the Ottoman colonization of North Africa; today's Turkish descendants are often called "Kouloughlis" which means the descendants of Turkish men and of native Algerian women.

arabs are also caucasions. but they are not 'white'.
indians are also caucasions. algeria is in africa, so they are africans, but they are not 'black'. white, brown, black is the color of the skin. africans, asians are the geographic location. caucasion is the shape of your skull.

Re: Are Algerians considered 'white' or 'arab'?
just know that libs like to win debates with facts, so much so that they will make up any number of outrageous ones to do so.

IF they cant prove them as fact to you, dont accept them into the discussion. One of their favourite things is to say:
"For arguments sake lets just assume that....". To that the proper response is:
"Assume my boot up your arse, lets just stick to the facts."

In truth you cant possibly win on their terms, and they wont accept you on yours.

They were why borders were invented.

Re: Are Algerians considered 'white' or 'arab'?
the real issue is are you going to use race as an anthropologic definition regarding groups related by heredity and proximity and history, where there is some potential of unique racial charactourstics, or the political definition of race, which is based on the needs of group people on the basis of superficial and nonlogical superficial appearances.
Anthropoligically there are many races, of various colours, but politically, there seems to be black gods and wite debbils only.

Dont buy into a liberals premises, they are based on deception and ignorance about ermmmmm, 100% of the time

funny thing they, will molest you mercilessly about what you must accept of their promises , yet will not allow you one single speck of dust to stand on of your own, premise-wise.

liberals have to steal, and to get close enough to their mark they have to lie and dig their way in somehow and nothing you can say will put them off that goal.

They cannot accept that they dont have the right to loot you, they just cant, and because they need to find a host to parasitize for survival, they wont go away on their own if youre the only prospect nearby.

If you cant start on equal footing regarding definition and factuality with a lib, you are starting out alone, and the whole effort is wasted. Like the emotional children they are, they will try to wear you down and force you to give in to be "fair". It's not to get along, it's to win over you and make you vulnerable. Being looters at heart, it is best to leave them to their own fate, there's nowt in it for you.

i'm not using anything that could be considered "my" definition. who told you that you are so damn smart? lol

show me evidence that the middle eastern peoples are more closely related to africans than europeans.

i am not an expert, i am simply saying the understanding i came to based on the information that i have seen. but i don't believe that caucasian and white are technially, scientifically synonymous. its about genetics, not necessarily the pigment of the skin. most recently it has been found that the only peoples on the planet that do not carry a neanderthal genetic link are Africans...so where does that leave the middle eastern people you insist are mostly african descent?
