I wouldn't say that they're gone, they're just not to be found in the big two parties.

Maybe so, but I've noticed that an overwhelming majority act the way I said though. I've noticed that Black areas almost always are in poverty and crime ridden.

That really isn't what I meant though by preservation. I meant preserving the bloodlines. Anyhow, today's culture isn't really White culture.

You're 100% White from how it sounds.

In almost all instances Caucasian=White. Race has nothing to do with skin color. The only exceptions to the Caucasian=White are the ones who have some sort of ancient, stabalized, yet signifficant admixture, such as Dravids from south India.

The facial feature variation isn't really that signifficant, since there are many nordics with those same facial features.

White=Indo-European, Uralic, Finnish, Hamitic, and Baltic.

Most of the Moors that invaded were actually Islamicized Romans mixed with tiny amounts of White Berbers of Hamitic stock. The ancient Romans looked the same as they do today pretty much.

Iranians actually are White for the most part. However, there exists a tiny NW minority in Iran.
