most have brains that are so pickled all they can handle are magazine clippings and ya novels unfortunately

fucking SOAS that's where i applied. hurumph. not for philosophy though

>The student union at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)
who cares? just more bait for the culture war faggots.

Huh?

We're back to the early Church.

They were white.
Confirmed for never reading nor looking at statues.

Mediterraneans aren’t white. Go to Rome: it’s impossible to distinguish the native Italians from the immigrant Muslims.

Shut up i have 100% med ancestry but i pretend to be black to get a n word pass

Complete nonsense. I literally just came back from Rome and the actual Romans look 100% European whereas all the swarthy arabs and the pakis that ask you whether you "WANT TO SKIP THE LINE?!?!?!? HEY YOU WANT SKIP LINE!??!?!" can not at all be mistaken as European.

White is an irrelevant and insufficient term to describe race or ethnicity. American obsession with COLOUR over everything else to describe ethnicity has for some reason spread to much of Europe as well. It’s why some dumb Americans say ancient Egyptians were black which even if they were they would still not have been the same type of “black” that black Americans are

>Go to Rome: it’s impossible to distinguish the native Italians from the immigrant Muslims.
>i have 100% med ancestry but i pretend to be black
Was this the case in Plato's time though, or is it only since the Moorish invasions?

>pakis
You do realise Pakistan is in Asia right and it’s literally just India but Muslim so why you would compare them to North African/Levantine Muslims (or Christians because there are many in those regions) is beyond me

Blacks:
>we wuz kangz and philosophaz and romanz and greekz and mongalz and shakespeerz mang
Also blacks
>fuggin whipipo enslaved us at all times dis why my home is a mudhut!

I say let them study black philosophy, whatever the fuck that is, they will need it at their eventual employment as welfare recipients.

Hint: it’s because he’s a retard.

Retard I meant by looks not by job occupation. Obviously the people selling selfie sticks and standing outside of the coliseum going “HAKUNA MATATA AFRICA” and trying to intimidate white tourists to “give me money for my baby” aren’t white. But go into a random restaurant or coffee shop and you won’t be able to tell who are the Italians and who are the Muslims.

Americans can't use culture and manners as an argument for their superiority that's why they have to pick colour. It's the dumbest kind of racism, even the Nazis weren't that retarded.

Because they're both non-European which is why they can be so easily distinguished from Romans. It's really not that difficult.

Should I draw it?

>Was this the case in Plato's time though, or is it only since the Moorish invasions?
It's because amerimutts and anglos are absolute historically illiterate retards and i can exploit their ignorance and self-righteousness to my benefit.

>even the Nazis weren't that retarded.
Kek it’s actually ridiculous how arbitrary it is

cringe and confirmed for never having been to Rome

White just means broadly European. When you defend this shit it lines up with the even worse American retards who claim Greeks and Romans were Turks or some shit.
A lot changes in 2000 years, and the statues and stories prove they were white.

How do you exploit them, and how does it benefit you?

I did a semester abroad in Egypt (may seem odd I know but I study history and always wanted to try living in a developing country anyway so it seemed to be the best overall choice) and let me tell you there were MANY Egyptians that looked indistinguishable from Europeans; blonde hair, blue or green eyes, pale skin, etc. There were these two sister the older of whom had jet black hair and dark brown eyes and tan skin but her older sister was pale, light blonde hair and super pale blue eyes but they had uncannily similar facial structure. Genetics are a funny thing bro it’s not as simple as “European” and “non-European” that’s about as retarded as it gets. That’s not even to mention the differences between native populations within Europe itself or the differences between various African ethnicities

Caucasoid, Mongoloid and Negroids is how you classify humans

>white
Well where do you draw the line? Does someone with “white” features but olive skin also count as white or does that magically make them Arab or something lol, how about siblings who look alike but have differing skin colours? Is one of them of a particular race and the other of another? Race occurs on a spectrum so defining it such stark terms as black, white, and brown or “European” and “non-European” is so misinformed it isn’t even worth arguing especially when the Mediterranean was historically an area with lots of different empires from different regions passing through and often mixing with the local pops which is why you get the variations you see in those regions today. This topic is honestly a waste of time typically peddled by misinformed Americans who don’t have much experience outside of their country so this is probably the last I’ll say about this waste of time topic

can confirm, I've also met white Egyptians before who looked less swarthy than many Greeks and Italians

>let me tell you there were MANY Egyptians that looked indistinguishable from Europeans; blonde hair, blue or green eyes, pale skin, etc
Why would someone lie on the internet?

You've never been outside your room

Yes. In fact hindus were white as well. Arjuna was a blonde prince with grey eyes.

Bullshit

>a waste of time
Yet you insist on telling people they are wrong.
Not that it was even necessary, because you can just tell from the facial structure, but recolored statues make it clear. Caesar had reddish-blonde or even blonde hair.

Do you have the same autistic flip out when someone says Asians or Africans? NOOOOOO! YOU CAN'T SAY THAT! RACE IS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT! SOUTH KOREANS ARE NOTHING LIKE NORTH KOREANS!

Filipinos are still Asians even though they look different. Minor changes in skin tone and hair color don't mean a European is no longer white. There are intricacies in the discussion of race, but most people are incapable of even considering them and simply default to white guilt and abandonment of European identity.

And Krishna was as dark as a Kenyan

I literally just described exactly how they operate outside of the coliseum. Only someone who’s been to Rome would know that.

Looking at your picture they are clearly white

Nah you're right. Egypt is filled with a bunch of blue eyed blonde nord looking natives.

Yes if only i had traveled more.
Yeah and I already described that in the post you responded to. But yes you were really funny and cool. Doesn't change the fact that anyone with an average intelligence can spot the difference between arabs and Italians.

Not filled but they exist

Looks white to me

You didn’t describe the black vendors outside of the coliseum and elsewhere in Rome walking around with bracelets shouting “hakuna matata” and trying to talk to white tourists in hopes that they will intimidate them into giving money for “their baby”. I wasn’t being “funny”, that’s literally what they do.
And you literally cannot distinguish most Italians in Rome from the Muslim immigrants. They are literally all brown, and this even accords with the Mediterranean user above who said he can pass as a black man. Sure, the leaders and elites in the past might’ve been more olive-skinned than brown, but the general populus there is undoubtedly brown.

>And you literally cannot distinguish most Italians in Rome from the Muslim immigrants.
cringe

The middle East is more diverse than you think. Iran is probably the "whitest" but there are other countries with white skinned people like Lebanon, Turkey, Syria, Iraq etc. with significant population of people you would consider white. Posting one photo of dark skinned Muslims doesn't disprove this.

People can go to Rome and see for themselves. I was shocked myself when I went. They look more like a whiter Muslim country like Syria rather than a European country. Even al-Assad looks whiter than most Italians in Rome.

>because you can just tell from the facial structure
Kek you’ll find this facial structure (although not quite so idealised because you know that’s how most statues were) amongst a lot of levantines and North Africans and you’ll find it amongst swarthy Greeks and Italians as well.
Ahh typical retard just because something doesn’t fit with his simplistic beliefs he just blanket denies it despite knowing full well he has no clue or experience on which to base that denial on

>continues to lie on the internet
not being able to discriminate is often a sign of various sorts of mental illnesses

Why the fuck would I lie about that lmao

It's like I'm really on /int/!

>you: italians look like arabs
>me: italians do not look like arabs
>you: WOAH FUCKING RETARD WITH YOUR SIMPLISTIC BELIEFS

Why are you talking about Americans when the invention was Spanish and the spread was mostly through the British empire

Imagine thinking Plato or Kant weren’t white. Imagine that. We have their statues. They’re not half Africans like some there today.

No.

Nobody thinks Italians look like Arabs. They look like Muslims from the whiter Muslim countries like Syria.
Pic related for example. But I would say he is whiter than most of the Italians I saw during my trip there.

Okay have a picture of some regular Syrian people then.

They’re about as white as Italians

More J than Assad though, wouldn’t you agree?

It's almost like the closer to the equator you live the darker you are regardless if you are European or Asian

Nah

I’m not even the user saying Arabs look like Italians, and “Arabs” differ between the gulf and the levant and North Africa, there are similarities sure but they aren’t one and the same. But hey like I said, just doing and saying whatever to support your simplistic beliefs rather than maybe even considering the possibility you might not really know what you’re talking about. Waste of digits
Perhaps but currently it’s primarily propagated by American media and to a lesser extent British and European media as well because whatever America does, the world tends to follow

Fuck off jew

Greeks are and were Meds, all anthropologists agree that modern Greeks are a proper genetic representations of ancient Greeks, mapping unto the genetic variety found in the Balkans, Anatolia and other parts of the mediterranean.

If you think Greeks are "white" then you have to swallow the pill that large portions of the Turkish population are white. A more useful heuristic would be to stop using the word white when talking of pre-modern-era Europe.

>If you think Greeks are "white" then you have to swallow the pill that large portions of the Turkish population are white
As well as large portions of the wider med region. It really is a stupid term to use for anything outside of modern American and European politics

Here's a fact: The Turkish genepool most closely resembles that of the Balkan, even moreso than to Central Asian peoples who are of Anatolian/Turkic descent.

Keen eye, you and I both. Not sure why he’s do that though. Jews usually support alt right nonsense because it will to ologarchic kleptocracy

What would a world with no white people look like?

A world of technological stagnation and environmental destruction.

the greeks were functionally white. we percieve them as such, and therefore they are

>that large portions of the Turkish population are white
They are.
So are some North Africans. Zinedine Zidane is a descendant of Algerians, for example.

Berber, sorta whitoid. Turks white? Some west coast dudes with a European lineage. Turks per se are Altaic. A bit mongoloid, so to speak.

Not much different? I mean whites are already a global minority

Any people living in cold climates would eventually get white skin.

What makes you think niggers will read books?

i fully support this. fuck boomers and their classics, day of the pillow coming soon. no white author is going to be taught at any school ever again. none of them.

it doesn't matter, people who matter will read them regardless of them being on the syllabus

Eskimos are brown. Like others in Siberia.

How many people read Plato and Aristotle nowadays? If you look at the Western Elite, what percentage of them have a clue about either of them?
And if you don't have encouragement to read them, fewer people will do so.

i hate niggers too but can we stop this from becoming another /pol/ thread plz?

seethe harder, nordicuck.

you're talking about university philosophy courses, if adults in a philosophy course choose not to read anyones works based on ethnicity it's not much of a loss to begin with, why are you trying to compare philosophy students stopping reading the greeks because of race to the general population who has very little in reading or philosophy?

Plenty of people base their readings on "what academia cares about". Things like this, which reduce their status, will only reduce the number of people who read those philosophers.

Right now, other than Pewdiepie (yes, the youtube gamer), who else encourages young people to read the Ancient Philosophers?

>who else encourages young people to read the Ancient Philosophers?
again why are you going off topic, the discussion is about philosophy students not wanting to read certain authors because of race, stop trying to move away from that

This is a bait thread:

1. The article is over a year old.
2. It isn't "students" in general - it's students from the School of African and Oriental Studies specifically.
3. It isn't even students from SOAS generally; it's specifically referring to students from their union (student unions are notoriously left wing).
4. They're saying that, since they attend SOAS to learn about African and Oriental cultures, the majority of the philosophers they learn about should come from Africa and the Far East.

You said
>it doesn't matter, people who matter will read them regardless of them being on the syllabus

It does matter. And the more your marginalize those philosophers by doing things like this the smaller the number of people who will read them.

Stages:
[ ] it is not happening
[x] it is just a fringe group
[ ] this will not affect you personally
[ ] this will affect you, but it is not a bad thing
[ ] this is a good thing
[ ] you are a nazi if you have any complaints about this

yes people in the context referring to philosophy students who will actually make some meaningful contribution to philosophy i.e people (philosophy students) who matter (in the context of philosophy) aren't going to stop reading philosophers based on race

So whiteness is subjective? So why should anyone bother with terming who's white and who's not? Why not use already existing terms that denote ethnicity or nationality?

>Caesar had reddish-blonde or even blonde hair.
No, he didn't. His own diary reveals how alien he found some of the Gauls thanks to their blond hair and blue eyes. This would make no sense if he was blond and blue eyed himself.
