Question

Should White be considered a race, ethnicity or nationality according to the Americans and their views?

Americans talk about " Whites" like if white were a nationality, linguistic group, religion, ethnicity or race, instead a color!

I think, it is because the media hates white Catholics, white Latinos, white Muslims and other non protestant-Anglo whites.

some non- white minorities that are non-black, might be hidden behind the white label, so I wonder if they are also against n**i Austria, Germany and Denmark, and against Aryan Iran, and other white Muslim countries like Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, etc...

white is a color, a label ... an odd and obsolete term to classify Americans under political tendencies to create fake minorities and fake majorities. I would say pale people instead white! and amongst pales, many nationalities, religions, and ethnicity's included.

Answer 1

It should be considered a race

Answer 2

Definitely ethnicity. If people are going to talk about whites at all. "An ethnic group is a group of human beings whose members identify with each other, usually on the basis of a presumed common genealogy or ancestry.[1] Ethnic identity is also marked by the recognition from others of a group's distinctiveness[2] and by common cultural, linguistic, religious, behavioral or biological traits."

Good point about it being obsolete though. On numerous occasions I've asked, what race are you? And I get the same answer 90% of the time.  "white"

Many scientists have argued that race definitions are imprecise, arbitrary, derived from custom, have many exceptions, have many gradations, and that the numbers of races delineated vary according to the culture making the racial distinctions; thus they reject the notion that any definition of race pertaining to humans can have taxonomic rigour and validity.
