Rather than race, you might find the cultural lens more useful. My Greek immigrant grandfather was othered by the German immigrants in the Midwest town in 1900’s. He married my Norwegian grandmother who was othered by her Greek in laws. By today’s definitions they’d all be lumped into the “white” group.

Growing up in the 1950s and 60s, I was enchanted and fascinated by other cultures and other races. I wanted to learn their languages and know about their cultural practices. I was always excited to meet someone from another country and a different culture from my own.

I’ve always been the same and so have many others in my family. I just find it so interesting and enjoy the variety.
Agree but as you mentioned, even that is context dependent and fluid. No truly objective criteria.
