The White Race is a broad and historically fluid term that has been used in different contexts to describe people of European ancestry, particularly those with lighter skin tones.
Historical Context
The concept of “race” as applied to humans is a biologically precise classification.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, European thinkers categorized humanity into racial groups, that supported colonialism, and hierarchy.
“White Race” was typically used to describe people from Europe (especially Northern and Western Europe), though the definitions varied by time and place.
