Same to me tbh, if the police asked you to describe them you would say "they're not white, dunno if indian iranian or latino but they weren't white" right? You do realize there isn't only norwegian kind of "white people" just as much as there isn't only guineas black people right?
You don't get it, apparently. You wouldn't know someone is a Norwegian, but if you said they were white the Reasonable Man would understand what you mean. A Norwegian and a German look virtually the same. Brits sometimes have a "British" look, but they can still pass for French, German, Swedish, etc, a lot of the time.
Meanwhile, a lot of Spanish people could be mistaken for Arabs by the uninitiated, while no one would mistake a genetic German for an Arab. It's a really obvious difference if you don't have an agenda. They look different from what is generally understood as stereotypically white, and they stand out -- meanwhile, most Europeans could be mistaken to live in most European countries, because they look stereotypically white. A Spanish person walks down the street in Finland, he stands out as not-a-Finn. A German walks down the street, no one knows until he opens his mouth. I'm belaboring the point, but I just don't understand what's so hard about it.
