[edit] Issues to be mediated
- Should the following text be added to the lead and does it comply with WP:NOR and WP:VERIFY? Is it WP:NPOV?
-
- The term white people does not refer perceived color of skin per se[1]; the people described can be pinkish,[2] reddish,[citation needed] white, tan or golden brown[3] in skin color, extending the perception of white skin to a much broader set of people. In this term, white functions as a color metaphor for race,[4] one that emerged from a racialized, European historical context.[5]
- Should a modified version of the text replace it, if it does not remain?
- Is the following text a NPOV statement? Does it comply with WP:NOR and WP:VERIFY:
- The population of people classified as white has a predominant European ancestry, along with substantial ancestry from other continents. Both maternal and paternal lines among white people trace to European as well as non-European lines.
