Close to impossible without widespread genocide.
What if the One Drop Rule is used to determine whiteness.

Since everyone's ancestry can be traced to Africa, the "one drop rule" would mean that 100% of the human race is non-white. Admittedly, that would be one way of fulfilling the challenge.
I mean, if you've got a reasonably intact and legitimate government in the metropole, why not? There will be some difficulty, yes, but assuming none of the locals mount a successful rebellion and the colonies don't get hit too hard, a European state could hang on to a decent portion of its empire. Mind, direct control isn't necessarily necessary--this immigration could also be facilitated through some sort of post-colonial supranational union like the Commonwealth.If there a nuclear war I doubt many colonies are going remain under European control
What the hell are you on about? Are you really suggesting that there were majority "white" (whatever that's supposed to mean in this time period) areas in China, India, MENA, and Central Asia? Sorry to burst your bubble, but the Aryans were not "white".White people did really exist in large numbers in China,India,Middle East,North Africa and Central Asia before the Turkic/Mongol expansion. The only problem I see in this thread is Non White Europe requires too much violence.
Tocharians,Indo-Iranians(of which Indo-Aryans are a part),Scythians were white and originated in the Caucasus eventually migrating in the Indo-European migrations. Hittites in the Middle East were too. Hurrians,Urartians,Gutians were all White. Even their descendants today Levantine Christians and Jews are.What the hell are you on about?

Define "White"Tocharians,Indo-Iranians(of which Indo-Aryans are a part),Scythians were white and originated in the Caucasus eventually migrating in the Indo-European migrations. Hittites in the Middle East were too. Hurrians,Urartians,Gutians were all White. Even their descendants today Levantine Christians and Jews are.
Caucasoid/Caucasian sharp features,light/olive skin and as a population,prevalence of light hair and eyes(even if small minority). This is biologically.Define "White"
White =/= Caucasian.Caucasoid/Caucasian sharp features,light/olive skin and as a population,prevalence of light hair and eyes(even if small minority). This is biologically.
White =/= Caucasian.
That's part of the issue here.
Indeed. Though I do wonder if the revelation that Aborigines would have to be classed as Black Caucasian had something to do with dropping it rather than just realising phenotypes and their combinations occurred across too many populations to be scientifically useful.And also, Caucasian is not really a thing either (though it is slightly more objective in descriptive terms).
I think the old "Caucasoid" classification didn't interest itself with skin color anyway.Indeed.

Am I the only one who finds these sort of threads a little bit disturbing?
My dad who is light skin and comes from a rather European looking family always said in a cheeky tone "Africa starts at the Pyrenees" whenever the conversation of Iberians came up.

Yeah I thing this is the most plausible maybe expand it a little to included Ginger and Brown haired with Colored EyesRedefine 'white' to mean 'blond'
Are you sure about that? It's plausible for every Southern Europe, but does every Estonian or Russian ,for example, have black African ancestry? Do you know a study which confirms that?Even later than that. There has been enough traffic across the Sahara and Mediterranean to ensure that every single European has many individual ancestors from black Africa in their gene pool. All you need is one or two individuals being reproductively successful during the Roman Empire or early Moorish Spain and we would all be descended from them. It's certain that most Andalusians and Portuguese will descend in a tiny measure to the large 16th century black populations of those areas.
