I do not know why this specific fact made to the front page or whether if it has something to do with the seige on Gaza right now and American Government being totally pog with it.

They’ve had their whiteness pass revoked for a while now

Europe's never really considered eastern Europeans to be real whites. They've always been a bit too Asian for the west and north.

Fun fact: the original English definition of "Europe" excluded western Russia.

The Brits didn't even know what the Ural hills were until ~1870. When they found out about them, they jumped at the chance to make them define Europe, because they had no other geographic justification (btw these hills are not a plate boundary and do not impede movement, they are basically as nonexistent as hills can be)

There were also multiple British geographers who wanted Britain to be its own continent separate from Europe.

Fuck I never knew the Urals were so low they make the Great Dividing Range, the archetypal "barely mountains" look like the fucking Himalayas.

Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING white is fake

not just politics, but geography, taxonomy, etc etc
