The term "White People" refers to a group of individuals who are classified as having white skin color, due to their ancestry or ethnicity. This categorization is primarily based on the geographical origin and cultural background of an individual's ancestors. In many cultures around the world, including that of the United States, people with lighter skin tones have historically been given more privileges and advantages than those with darker skin tones. As a result, "White People" are often associated with societal power structures such as wealth, education, and political influence. However, this categorization is not without controversy, as some argue that it oversimplifies the complexities of human identity and experience.
