Original Note:
NNN. Race is social construct and post has reasonable historic basis. From mid-19th to early 20th centuries, Mediterranean "olive-skinned" people were seen as ‘semi-coloured’ and targeted by KKK. Slurs like "wogs" emphasized their perceived difference from "white people." https://neoskosmos.com/en/2016/10/31/dialogue/opinion/when-did-greeks-become-white/ https://www.researchgate.net/publication/241158832_Olive_or_White_The_Colour_of_Italians_in_Australia
