Stop poking your nose where it doesn’t belong, you don’t know the context so just better stay out of it.
Race is a social construct. Whiteness surged in The Americas in order to distinguish Europeans which had economic and political power from non Europeans (enslaved Africans, natives). When you talk about race it comes down to physical traits. Even if you go off that definition, you can’t possibly tell me an Iberian looks the same as someone from Russia or Germany. Physical traits are different no matter how you look at it. This guy just correlates lighter skin with being white. By that definition a lot of Persians and Turks are white, but I doubt he’d include them cause they aren’t of European decent. People of Iberian decent have similar physical traits. Olive skin, large noses, etc. Either way, race is still a social construct.

Correct
Race is about similar physical characteristics. Sharing common ancestory.
Ethnicity is about cultural identification.
So Adam is right when he said "White" is a race.
Infact, US census have 5 races to count and one is White who have origins in Europe, North Africa and one more which I forgot
However, I do like to add one thing - in some cases races and ethnicity tend to overlap but let's not complex it.
If you look from sociology perspective then you are right.
Race is social construct
Scientifically, more apt words are common ancestory

Exactly, when we talk about race as a construct I at least assume there’s some sort of common gene pool right? This guy and I don’t originate from the same gene pool. whiteness has historically been used by Europeans as a way to feel superior and different from non Europeans, that doesn’t mean we’re all of the same race, that’s an incredible shallow way of looking at race and ethnicity. Now the US might classify “white” as a racial group, but that doesn’t mean it’s a race even by their own definition of it.
regardless they identify as white even if they are tan right??
correct but if its about biological traits then why aren't white asians considered wjite??
DNA research proved that all of us are descendants of 2 humans who lived in 2 different eras

Because skin tone doesnt nessecarily mean dif race
Croatia has 2 parts, coastal and inland, coastals are like Greeks and Italians while we inland ones are more german/slavic
But we are all still Croatians
Same is with white people, you can be tanned greek/spaniard or pale brit/sweed but you are still white
