Not only IS Middle Eastern white but Sabu is a white guy from Michigan playing a gimmick. Oh no! The cat's out of the bag! being from michigan doesnt make him white, last i checked he was related to the original sheik who was lebanese and every non kayfabe thing ive read about sabu indicates hes the same just because the us census says middle easterners have to tick 'white' it doesnt change history, all they take in to account is convenience of their record keeping, not biological anthropology, not mtdna, not racial phenotypes, the us census also uses the word hispanic which is highly offensive to many, ive seen us government forms have filipino listed as a separate race to asians, others having filipinos considered pacific islanders, so a tick box on a us government form is hardly scientific evidence, it would be stupid to categorise lebanese as caucasoid when they clearly have australoid, mongoloid and congoid influences I'm Puerto Rican and call myself Hispanic all the time >_> The Original Shiek is Sabu's uncle, and he was a Lebanese-American. Personally, I think the only real way to judge it is to let a person classify themselves, within reason (assuming they can actually claim to be a descendant of a particular group).

That's what I was wondering lol. (Tazz isn't black, just an extra-tanned italian, I think) Anyway, Bookerdust is my answer as they were the first team to come to mind when I saw the thread, before the choices came up. I thought his mom was black? Half blacks tend to be much darker skinned than Tazz is.

That was the first team I thought of. What did they call that team. I don't remember. they didnt name the team, maybe you're thinking of Bagwell and The Patriot, Stars and Stripes. That was another good team. and thanks for the info, i didn't think they had a name. They should have had one though.

It's a subgroup of Caucasians.

No love for the tag team juggernaut of Kenzo Suzuki and Rene Dupree?
J/K, Dudleys take this one easily.

I don't know about Caucasian as defined in the census, but I thought white refered to people originating from Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, India and most of Russia. Of course there are some differences, but there are probably a lot of differences between an Inuit, a Filipino and a native Brazilean as well.
