Because their skin is quite light. Often, that’s all you need. Unless, for some reason, their eyes have epicanthic folds, you know, like Asian people often have. Really, there are all these weird rules and exceptions to the rules. There has never been one consistent and clear definition of which people count as “white” and which don’t. It’s like how there’s no clear rule deciding where the limit goes between breakfast and lunch (and that’s not even getting into the strange, elusive idea of “brunch”).
