Are Greeks white?

I’ve always wondered - are Greeks white?
More interestingly, how do Greeks perceive themselves? How do they perceive their racial identity in comparison to the “standard Germanic/Celtic whites” a là UK, Germany, France, Switzerland, Scandinavia, Holland, etc.
Do they feel they are less racially white compared to Western & Northern Europeans? Do they feel they are not even white at all?
For me, as a Somali, I’ve always viewed Greeks as white-ish. I view them as the same as the Lebanese, Syrians, etc. and such because they look so similar to Levantine Arabs.
But anyways, what say you.

For the longest time, Americans believed that the only people who are white are from Germanic countries(- Ireland) + France.
Atleast in recent decades, they started considering possibility that maybe the rest of us could be white too.

I mean I have a friend who looks like he could win hide and seek by hiding in the snow. Even myself I am pretty white.

I always wondered this as well, if pink skinned northern europeans are considered white, why not the olive skinned south europeans too?

Yes they are. European nation. They are white Europeans. They don't exactly look like people from Scandinavia but yeah, they are white. What kind of question is that? Also, every color comes in many shades. White is a color too. We don't all look the same all around Europe.

The Helens were European nation but their culture switched when they adopted middle eastern origin oriantal orthodoxy. This is one of the reason Eastern Roma was alien to Western Europe.

It's like saying Thierry Henry isn't black because he doesn't look like Omar Sy. Troll questions...

Literally? yes. The way Americans perceive race? Even the Irish weren’t considered white at first so in that sense no.

What does "white" mean Is it a racial definition or a cultural one?
If it's about skin color, not all Meds are white. If it's a cultural definition, then yes, they are white.

This ain't USA, of course they're white.
There are many shades of black, there are many shades of white as well (in terms of skin colors).

Greeks are Greeks. Definitely not Arabs but also not like Oliver Stone blonde blue eyed Greeks from Alexander movie.
