milk those government titties
If they dont consider spanish whites then might as well act like it
Iberians literally invented the term white to describe themselves
In contrast to the people’s they discovered in their voyages
wait
the black settlers from america?
to Iberia
called themselves white?

we wuz
is that what your saying nigga?
No
das rite
oh ok
<:thonkery:498242304792854549>
that would have been hilarious
🤔
I’m saying the Spaniards and the Portuguese found all these exotic peoples as they discovered west Africa and the Americas
And were like
Wtf why are they burnt
So they called them black
And then they were like
qt exotic gf
Im sure they had contact with West Africans
Ok so if they’re black cuz they have black skin, we’re white cuz white skin
So they started calling themselves white
Other yuropoors followed
Another possible hypothesis
We may never know
Or the muslim hordes
Or the mongols
Or mansa musa
The Muslims in Iberia were largely just North Africans who lived in the large cities as bureaucrats
Have you ever met a Berber?
They look Greek
Or vaguely Mediterranean
Are you gonna say moroccans are white now
Spaniards wouldn’t have seen actual black people until their voyages in the 1500s
Bad example lol
Yeah Syrians are clearly at least half white
