Definition of White people Poll

[Padfoot]

In today's society race is a mix of how you perceive yourself and how others perceive you.  As others have mentioned, race is a cultural construct largely based on your skin color and facial structure and it has very little to do with your actual ancestry.  As long as your skin color isn't too dark you can probably "pass as white" regardless of who your ancestors are.  Wearing culturally identifying clothing or speaking with an accent will probably "give you away" and even if if you consider yourself to be white, others will classify you as something else.
