Need to timestamp that too. Native Americans weren’t white. Then Columbus came, and he wasn’t white. The Spanish/Portugese were here for what, 100 years before England. Really gotta ignore at least the first 75% of years after Mary got knocked up till now.
If Mexicans and Brazilians and every other area colonized by Portugal and Spain are considered not white, I can’t say that Columbus would be considered white. He was Portuguese sailing under the Spanish flag. If anything we could argue Italian… but they werent considered white in America until almost the 50s
Edit: Look at Florida, Spanish name, Spanish flag origins, yet people coming from Puerto Rico and Mexico speaking Spanish are considered non-white and receive hate for speaking Spanish

Columbus wasn’t white? Wasn’t he genoese?
