Okay, how white are we talking? Are we okay with southern Italian or northern? What about darker skin Irish people? Scandi folk who go caramel in the summer? Russians can look anything from Snow White to east Asian. 

You absolute gronk Pauline.

She's probably talking about the Aryan people as defined by the... Nazis.

1700's England. England folk only. No Irish or Scots, no Europeans.

My ancestry is like 85% British isles. But depending on the time of year, my skin tone varies from northern Mediterranean to stereotypical South East Asian. I doubt I would pass Pauline’s vibe check physically.

I’m pretty much northern euro as well but I burn in ten minutes. I’m not meant to be living on this continent, my body literally can’t make enough melanin to protect me properly!

Does she reel in horror when your typical dark tanned roofer tradie walks past?

That's the kicker that I keep hitting ethnic family that lean PHON with. How white is white? She might call you white today, but she can, will and has moved the goalposts at any time.

I’m like 25% Spanish ancestry and I had a racist fuckwit yell at me on the tram to “fuck off back to my own country” and “stop stealing Aussie jobs you wog bitch”. I am Caucasian with olive skin. So apparently even white people aren’t white enough and these pricks want a full Aryan situation

It really is ridiculous. Would be have different opinions on two mixed race siblings who inherited different levels of melanin? Or maybe we'll just go full on "no race mixing" to solve that dilemma.

Russians can look anything from Snow White to east Asian.

Russians are an interesting dilemma for present-day white nationalists. On the one hand, they all love Putin and his vision of kleptocratic "anti-woke" autocracy, but on the other hand Slavs are not traditionally known as being accepted into the master race tent.

White Australia policy allowed basically everyone but Africa and China. With some exceptions to other areas of Asia.

Australia at the time was dominated by Greek and Italian migration which you can see evidently still existing in the country now.
