Can Muslims be white?

[Famous Mortimer]

The college left is currently trying to redefine "White" to mean basically "not oppressed". It's already seeped into the popular imagination a little bit with things like the trope about "Italians and Jews weren't considered White!" Which is absolutely 100% BS. Italians and Jews weren't liked, they were discriminated against, but no one thought they weren't White. Jews and Italians were allowed to marry WASPS when interracial marriage was illegal. Jews and Italians went to White schools when there was segregation. They have always been considered White. It's a really strange idea and it hasn't yet achieved full ideology hegemony over all of academia. Going off the past re-definitions of "gender" and "racism" though, I imagine they will ultimately be successful.

"Race" is a social construct, so people are whatever they are labelled. For the purpose of how they are treated in Western society though, no, Muslims, particularly Arab Muslims are not white.

To some extent, yes. To some extent, no.

The idea that people in Sub Saharan Africa, people in China, and people in Europe all look different in a generally uniform way was not concocted by evil White racists.
