Am I 'white' ?

I mean I am certainly more tanned than a Brit. I could get mistaken for a Mexican in America.

On the other hand - there are indians who are far more pale than me. Are they white?

Used for your advantage, pumpkin.

Because you seem to like labels and dislike confusion :)

There is no English word for my genetic composition.

No good!

I've met jerks who aren't my skin color.

My own definition would therefore be not justified true belief but justified objective truth
Because of the problem of induction not everything thought to be knowledge actually is
So I therefore think a better more accurate definition would be justified probable truth

Note we are not chasing after absolute knowledge.
JTB comes in degrees [confidence level*] depending on the reliability of the Framework and System used.
* Note your confidence level re that of religious doctrines [JTB] versus Scientific knowledge [JTB]. Surely a priest or pastor will insist the doctrine he preached is JTB based on God's existence.

That there is anyone without beliefs? No. To believe one way or another proves it false.

Well that is only if one was to believe one way or another.

This one neither believes nor disbelieves one way nor another.

Unless, of course, you can prove otherwise.

Can you prove that I believe anything, anyway?

Okay, you have no beliefs. No sweat off my back.

You really believe this is about you? Or that you should get an invite?
