    Wtf is her heritage? If sheā€™s not British sheā€™s not foundational white either.

    We were all ā€œsomething elseā€ if youā€™re in America. My ancestors were ā€œswarthyā€ treated as subhuman. Now I can say Iā€™m white and no one blinks an eye.

      Itā€™s more complicated than that. Theyā€™re looking for countries that didnā€™t ever have a Hapsburg in control those that did not will always be less white than the ones with Medicis in power. Itā€™s all very weird and stupid.
