aren't North Africans black too?
WatchThis discussion is closed.
I was looking at the definition of the caucasian race and saw that North Africans people even in places like Algeria are considered caucasian. I always thought they were considered black or african American when they come over here.

No. They are closer to the Mediterranean, so that is why they have lighter skin.

Yes, lighter, but not caucasian, that was down to colonisation. Look at Morocco for example, natives are much darker than the descendants of colonists.

The people of the Mediterranean have always been fighting and conquering each other.
They were never considered "Black" in the first place .

Not really. There was never en mass colonisation. I don't know why you are stating that.

Spain controlled Morocco for about 50 years.

Yes but there was an awful lot of Jewish emigration, it was still originally black/arabic.

Arabs are white if Jews are. They're all the same race.

I said Arabs were caucasian nothing about Berbers.
My dad was mixed algerian and I consider him mixed not white.
But I must say that guy doesn't look like any of my dad's family or even myself and my mom is west african descent. He'd fit way better in my mom's family and would be a sore thumb in my dad's family.

My point was that north african's aren't caucasian, and any that resemble caucasian are probably descendants of colonists.

And the fact that you posted someone that looks nothing like most Algerian people shows your only trying to prove a point and not deal with reality...
I always thought most North African people were mixed race of they were of Berber descent. Posting a picture of one person says nothing about the majority. That's like posting a black american and saying that's how all americans are racially. Pretty sure you know this... To me it seems you're really not being realistic.

I was saying that being a berber doesn't make you white, black, arab or otherwise
You don't really make sense, but I am trying to decypher what you've written. Never did I say that was what most Algerians looked like..

Actually Berber people are the natives of North Africa ethnically.
Then your post has no point.
