No, they are not considered white. They are what we now call indigenous people. They are near 5’ tall, dark complected, and have very little in common with those who came from Spain, except they are human beings with all rights that infers. They have much in common with the Aborigene, and some of the tribes of Africa. You are not going to have many great scientists or doctors come from these people.
Yes, we are considered white-most of us are Caucasian-so are a lot of Native Americans for that matter-all mixed up for centuries-I can assure you that I do not have much in common with the tribes of Africa or Aborigines in Australia/New Zealand, etc-I even have a college education, as do most of my relatives and neighbors-there are even doctors, scientists and lawyers in the family-gasp! Where are you from?
