Donz Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 (edited) Ok, Ive heard many italians spanish even south american people called westerners anf refered to as westerner by Thai's and by other westerners. But also at the same time Ive hear Italians spanish and south americans say no there not westerners. Also alot of italians dont really like to be called white and want to be refered a mediteranian (spelling) Also half italians half english also have a 50/50 view of them being a wetserner or not. South Americans dont like to be called westerner at all, so now tell me, what is a westerner? Is it a white person (like pure white like white english) or what lets discuss Edited February 11, 2007 by Donz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KireB Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 First of all: who gives a flying $%## about this. I mean all this crap about skin color. Second: we are all Westeners due to the fact that the earth is a sphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaoPo Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 A -white- westerner is someone who loves to go on holiday and get tanned or 'brown' and thus create dead skin cells on his/her body which after a while will fade away again. A yellow, light brown, brown or black person will avoid the sun, whatever the cost. That's why you see many of them carrying an umbrella; not for rain-protection, but sun-protection. But we, simple souls of this Global world, have one thing in common...................... We all have red blood LaoPo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donz Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 I only brought this up because many on here discussing things Thai always use the term "we westerners" I want to know what we westerners are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadish_sweetball Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 There's no clear definition and the more mixed the world gets, the harder the concept will be to define. Merriam Webster says: Main Entry:westerner Function:noun Inflected Form:-s Usage:usually capitalized 1 a : a native or inhabitant of a western region *Westerners from French West and Equatorial Africa Michael Barbour*; especially : a native or inhabitant of the western U.S. *the nasal twang of a Westerner* b : a native or inhabitant of an occidental country *Westerners do not understand Asiatics H.B.Acton* c : a supporter of the ideals and policies of the noncommunist countries of Europe and America *many westerners mistakenly supposed that because the Soviet mind was politically mutilated it could not achieve much in science and technology E.K.Lindley* 2 a : an adherent or advocate of western beliefs and practices *a Westerner who wants to grapple with this subject, must try, for a few minutes, to slip out of his native Western skin and look T through the eyes of the great non-Western majority ... compare SLAVOPHILISM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farangsay Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 It is my understanding that the term originated during the Cold War when Western Europe and North America constituted the "Western bloc" while the Soviet Union and Soviet dominated Eastern Europe constituded the "Eastern bloc". All the bits left over were collectively termed the "Third World". Whetever your ethnic heritage Donz , as an Australian you may consider yourself firmly in the "Third World".

Ulysses G. Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 (edited) I'm really going to get trounced for this, but, I consider anyone who acts "white" to be white and I think that white people or "Westerners" have the superior culture at this time in history - the Judeo-Christian culture. To me Denzel Washington is "white", but with Negroid features. If he wanted to marry my sister, I would think that he had terrible taste, but I would be happy to have him in the family. Asians who move to America all want to adopt our culture and they work their butts off to learn English and improve their lives and fit in and most people accept them as "white". The people that experience "racism" (it is really culturism) in the US are usually those who refuse to give up the culture that they came from and don't try to blend in. They need to make an effort to act white! Edited February 11, 2007 by Ulysses G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beg to differ. It's all location. If I'm in Los Angeles, Thailand is to the f** west. So the people there are, by definition, western imperialists. Like that taksit guy.

lannarebirth Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Well, it all depends on where the Prime Meridian is, doesn't it? England deservedly lies on the Prime Meridian as John Harrison's chronometer demystified longitude calculations. East and west are defined in relation to Greenwich meridian. Australia for example is not west, but it was colonized by westerners. It now has a "western culture", but it is not western. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilHarries Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 We all have red blood LaoPo[/color] Except for those of us blessed with blue blood. As KireB says, it's irrelevant and down to some old time convention like the one that always depicts the globe with the Northern hemisphere at the top. The earth is floating in space where there is no up nor down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
