White

The Jews, of all people, have now been burdened with another set back. They are White. White/Caucasian is a term used to describe a person having origins in any of the original peoples or Europe, the Middle East or North Africa. Skin color in these areas varies from light to dark complexion. There is as much difference in North African skin color as there is between Scandinavians and Italians. There are Jews with light skin and dark skin but as of today they are all White. If you look at the people is the Middle East you can see Jews with darker skin than many Palestinians but that will not matter because the Jews are considered the oppressors so that makes them White. It is the same with Asians and Blacks. The difference in skin color between Northern India and Southern India is stark going from very dark to very light. The same is true in Africa. A team of geneticists led by Sarah Tishkoff, a Penn Integrates Knowledge Professor, has shown that there is a huge amount of variation of skin color within Africa, ranging from skin as light as some Asians to the darkest skin on a global level.
