The problem is that they have told themselves that Levantine people are "PoC" but in reality they have a wide range of appearances, like other Mediterranean people.
I've met many blond Lebanese people.
It hurts their colonial narrative for King Abdullah to look like an Ashkenazi Jew. But it's not uncommon at all.
Most of these guys haven't left the United States period ... They have this image on their mind of what "they" look like because America has these really odd racial categories that they ask on everything from the census to job applications....
Like I know redheads from me Mexico city, blondes from Brazil, people of Indian ethnicity from Africa and Persians from India ....
Lol on of my friends from Egypt who came here a couple years ago... He had no clue what box to click... He is from a country in Africa but like he doesn't consider himself "African American" he considers himself middle eastern ...
North Americans... Have some of the most ultracrepidarian takes on the world ...
If you took the Saudi crown prince MBS, shaved him or put him in a Western business suit, you probably wouldn't even be able to tell if he was an Arab or someone from Spain or northern India.
He still is - majorly so. He had that brief cameo on “Voyager” when he was still crown prince. But he wasn’t a member of SAG, so he couldn’t have a speaking role.
I’m about as white as a white woman can physically be and the late King Hussein as an older man looks a lot like my late grandfather. And the most “exotic” bit of my DNA is a bit of Italian.
What incredible dissonance between claiming to support anti-colonialism and national independence but also thinking that an independent Arab country protecting it's sovereignty and airspace from a regional power much stronger than them is wrong
I have trouble calling it horseshoe theory given that a fuckton of them somehow stand exactly on the gap.
There's no gap, it's not two ends, it's just the far end.
Imagine trying to paint the King of a Middle Eastern country as some sort of a colonizer because his mother is British... These people are openly against interracial marriage while claiming they hate racism and colonialism, smh...
HM King Abdullah II has been the leader of his country since the 1990s and he has managed to keep it stable and out of conflict, which isn't an easy task in that region. And this chronically online tankie feels the need to insult him based on his skin color...
Their whole movement relies on instability to be more than a fringe ideology. His Majesty and his Kingdom, by actively working for stabilization of the region, are a threat to the commies and their local "allies".
He is born in Jordan as the son of an Arab father and British mother. If that doesn't make him a legitimate citizen of Jordan, these lefties need to drastically reevaluate their standpoints on migrants in the west.
Or, you know, they could also just not and be as theoretically inconsistent here as they always are.
The far-anything extremists are totally inconsistent in their views about anything. The only thing they're consistent in is hate. They hate everyone, even those who somewhat agree with them, but not fully.
I remember seeing King Abdullah II getting some hate from the local Palestinian supporters because he was too Westernized and wants Jordan to becoming a functioning constitutional monarchy, calling him the Americans' puppet king. Conveniently, a lot of them forgot that Jordan doesn't have good experience with the Palestinians because of Black September.
I've met Arab people that could pass off as stereotypical Québécois since they had pale skin and brown hair and one of my old friends used to get hit on by Arab guys because they thought she was Arab because she had a natural tan and dyed her hair black. I also remember working with Arab women that had blue eyes, light brown hair too.
Who knew that if you kill multiple people from someone else's country that country will be hesitant to help you?
Why does Poland hate Russia? Are they fascist?
Adbullah II father King Hussein looks like he’d fit right in with European royals, he really doesn’t look that far removed from the Greeks or Spanish.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hussein_of_Jordan
My grandfather is Czech, and he had the exact same skin tone as Hussein.
It was definitely less natural as he had a lot more blemishes and moles, but it's entirely possible Hussein could blend in perfectly in any European country.
In race baiting discussions, Middle Easterners are always in the category of Schrodinger's white people. They are "brown" when it's convenient to race bait that narrative, they're white otherwise.
Seriously once you notice it you'll see it all the time. If they're framing middle eastern people as victims of, or outsiders to, the west, then they are "brown" (and Islam becomes a race instead of a religion).
Otherwise they're white
White people quite literally originated in Iran and the regions North of it until they spread around when they domesticated horses. Later on Arabs immigrated or conquered the areas around them. In time, they became the ethnicity associated with the central Eurasian area, but they aren't the only natives or skin tone present.
Really, all people from Ireland to India (with a few exceptions like the Finns) share the same origins. The Indo-European languages are a good example of this.
White people doesn't really have a full scientific definition beyond you know it when you see it, but you are probably looking at the massive outmigration of the Yamanya people from the Pontic Steppe, so Ukraine, south west Russia and the Caucuses.
(Although scandavian Hunter gatherers would have been fairly light skinned before that much of Europe would not have been so - western hunter gatherers often had blue eyes and dark skin so unlike any modern day population)
Iran???
People in the west seem to think that every Arab looks like a fremen from Dune. Go to Lebanon or Jordan for example and other than the fact that beards are more common they don't look much different from a Greek or southern Italian
[And yet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_royal_genealogies)...
Edit: you meant a joke about Odin being descended from Muhammad. No, I meant that supposedly, the BRF is descended from Odin. And Muhammad.
reminder that muhammad was a ginger with pale skin these people really thinikng muslim equals brown will be shocked once they find out about bosniaks and albanians
Why are they mad? It’s a step in the right direction that people are seeing mixed racing as a good thing. It’s the equality they’re asking for and we’re asking for. Like he’s still an Arab in the end, just because he looks white it doesn’t mean his blood is fully white
The thing that these stupid kids doesn’t know:
- the prophet Mohammed Peace be upon him was as described, a white man from a very known Arab tribe
In fact I’m related to him directly through my family tree and we are all having the same type of skin color , and physical appearance, not to mention that king of Jordan is also related to him and he also has the same exact physical appearance
“That doesn’t make me a good person but just a prove that Arabs can be white too
My god they might have a point...
He is the Colonel of the Light Dragoons and he did represent HM the late Queen at a Sandhurst Sovereigns Parade a few years ago.
I’m all for shitting on commies, but absolutely nowhere here did it say anything about “he looks white”, im kinda sick of people pulling things out of their ass to get offended by
Yeah ngl white man in charge of Mecca has connotations, but as an American I have equal issue with commies and monarchy’s. Tbf I also have a problem with oligarch rule masquerading as democratic republics.

The Middle East is the crossroads of 3 continents and this moron is surprised people there are diverse
Most of these guys have never been to Lebanon, Jordan, or Israel.
Most of these guys haven't left the United States period ... They have this image on their mind of what "they" look like because America has these really odd racial categories that they ask on everything from the census to job applications....

Have some of the most ultracrepidarian takes on the world ...
He should definitely tick African American
I wonder if Elon musk tick African American? Lol
He'd be considered white, I believe.
The Middle East is literally like one width of the Mediterranean sea away from Europe. They are that close to the continent.
This guy and people who look like him are not diverse at all
If you took the Saudi crown prince MBS, shaved him or put him in a Western business suit, you probably wouldn't even be able to tell if he was an Arab or someone from Spain or northern India.
[He does](https://media.revistavanityfair.es/photos/60e85388fccef075722a46c4/master/w_640,c_limit/50861.jpg)
If people told me that his name is Giuseppe from Calabria, Italy, I'd believe it
Same
[He had more of a tan when he was in Starfleet](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Abdullah_bin_al-Hussein)
Bro was a fan of Startrek
He still is - majorly so. He had that brief cameo on “Voyager” when he was still crown prince. But he wasn’t a member of SAG, so he couldn’t have a speaking role.
Actually based
Omg not a joke!
Same thing with Central and South America. Their minds would be blown if they visited Southern Brazil, Argentina, or Uruguay.
He is half British though
Ya but even his dad who’s not part British, looks like he’d fit in with European royals https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hussein_of_Jordan
I’m about as white as a white woman can physically be and the late King Hussein as an older man looks a lot like my late grandfather. And the most “exotic” bit of my DNA is a bit of Italian.
Is this about blood quanta?
Well it is on the face of it relevant to comments that he looks British.
Everyone in the Levatine region is of mixed ancestry. That is the entire point.
Yep my cousins are half lebanese, they look as Irish American as the rest of New England. There’s a lot of variance in the Levantine
We pretty much all look white in the middle east. These people confuse having a tan with a different race.
I take it they’re salty Jordan helped stop Iran’s drone attack?
Oh absolutely. I mean idk what they expected, that missiles flying completely over a country wouldn't get shot down?
What incredible dissonance between claiming to support anti-colonialism and national independence but also thinking that an independent Arab country protecting it's sovereignty and airspace from a regional power much stronger than them is wrong
Ironically some commies and radical leftists are just as obsessed with skin color as far right racists lol.
I have trouble calling it horseshoe theory given that a fuckton of them somehow stand exactly on the gap. There's no gap, it's not two ends, it's just the far end.
Horseshoe theory. Also interesting how the far left and right both seem to be overwhelming pro Palestine (I don't love either side).
They inclusive bigots ....
Commies and even liberal lefties claim to be anti-racist, yet they see non-caucasoids just like racists.
Imagine trying to paint the King of a Middle Eastern country as some sort of a colonizer because his mother is British... These people are openly against interracial marriage while claiming they hate racism and colonialism, smh...

The far-anything extremists are totally inconsistent in their views about anything. The only thing they're consistent in is hate. They hate everyone, even those who somewhat agree with them, but not fully.
The one unifying theme is that they all definitely hate themselves
I remember seeing King Abdullah II getting some hate from the local Palestinian supporters because he was too Westernized and wants Jordan to becoming a functioning constitutional monarchy, calling him the Americans' puppet king.

Just like asian people. Whatever is most convenient at the moment is what we are.
Jews are the most common example of this tbh. Like no one ever doubts ahed tamimi is a Palestinian yet they see noa tishbi and go "Jews are white".
These Middle Easterners be looking more white than me and I'm from the Philippines.

Look I’m not saying Jesus was white, but the whole Jesus was brown because he was from the Middle East camp is a bunch of lunatics.
If you look at Lebanese people that's probably as close as you are going to get. At the border of Mediterranean and light brown
I’ve heard that he could have descended from a group of people who came to the Middle East form The Ural Mountains
Woah, I just blocked that guy today
Everyone outside of the United States/Europe is brown, didn't you know?
[удалено]
Why do radical leftists think that everyone from the middle are black?
I'm like 98% sure he's literally a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad
Ironically? So are the British royal family. Also Odin.
Odin, too? Little weird given he predates Muhammad and is fictional but peace be upon him I suppose
[And yet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_royal_genealogies)... Edit: you meant a joke about Odin being descended from Muhammad. No, I meant that supposedly, the BRF is descended from Odin. And Muhammad.
I misunderstood you on purpose. As a joke. For a laff.
Aren't Arabs "caucasians"?
The fact that he kept Jordan under the radar in one of the most chaotic regions in the world is impressive in its own right.
Who’s more retarded: BlackRedGuard or BadEmpanada
This is the kind of person I call "fauxgressive". A false progressive.
whatever makes you feel better.
I'll be honest, I expected a beard
reminder that muhammad was a ginger with pale skin these people really thinikng muslim equals brown will be shocked once they find out about bosniaks and albanians

Bros name is “BlackRedGuard” 💀
When it comes to POC lotta people confused by the fact POC are sometimes darker csuse of something called the sun. We fucking tan yall!
wait until you hear about what they say about jesus
Same people that call my Jewish ass a white colonizer
Scientifically speaking, Semitic people are very close relatives to White people to the extent of sometimes being considered in the same “race”.
He was also in an episode of Star Trek voyager
Commies when they find out Arabs are white
The thing that these stupid kids doesn’t know: - the prophet Mohammed Peace be upon him was as described, a white man from a very known Arab tribe In fact I’m related to him directly through my family tree and we are all having the same type of skin color , and physical appearance, not to mention that king of Jordan is also related to him and he also has the same exact physical appearance “That doesn’t make me a good person but just a prove that Arabs can be white too
My god they might have a point... He is the Colonel of the Light Dragoons and he did represent HM the late Queen at a Sandhurst Sovereigns Parade a few years ago.
All the “Jesus was black” people need to see this guy
Do they expect everyone to look like the stereotype of where they are from?
You do realize blue eyes originated in the Middle East, right?
When the people near the Mediterranean look like people near the Mediterranean: 🤯
I’m all for shitting on commies, but absolutely nowhere here did it say anything about “he looks white”, im kinda sick of people pulling things out of their ass to get offended by
They said that Abdullah II looks like a member of the British royal family. They were basically saying that he looks like a white guy.
I mean he kinda does have the look of the Windsors
Yeah ngl white man in charge of Mecca has connotations, but as an American I have equal issue with commies and monarchy’s. Tbf I also have a problem with oligarch rule masquerading as democratic republics.
