Most northern European countries collect data on race and religion too. The UK certainly does, but it's not alone (the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, etc all do too). I think only the heavily French-influenced countries don't (so the Latin ones plus Belgium and maybe a couple others).

Are you sure about that? It looks very against EU principles.
As do half of the current Eu counties.
I'm not sure about this "Italians, Irish and slavs were not considered white in the US in the past thing". I think they were always considered white, but were discriminated all the same. Until recently the US was 90% white (and many states were near 100% white) so Bigots had to discriminate on other grounds than whiteness. So catholics, slavs, Greeks and etc all faced some discrimination when society was heavily WASP. But I don't think they would consider some redhead Irish dude anything other than white. A "lesser kind" of white, maybe, but white all the same.We've been through this already. You aren't really whiter than greek people, and you are slavic (also not considered white in the old US, btw, cause apparently white there is a byword for 'germanic')

Well you are quite wrong.
Yep, check the wiki entry on the UK (for example) and go to the demographics section. You'll find census collected info on race and religion there.
Maybe. I didn't say I was sure, just said that was my understanding of the thing.

Me? My post was about my Sicilian friend. I'm definitely super white.
Please don't culturally appropriate the term "white". You aren't germanic, ie you are "lesser shade of white" at best, join our club

Confirmed for UK, but didnt find census data on ethnicity or religion for any of the other countries you mentioned. Only statistics.
I'm sure Denmark et al. collect census data on religion, though perhaps not on "race" (just ancestry).

Aww let him redefine it if he wants to. After all, it's what allows him to openly advocate for genocide whilst pretending he's not actually doing that. We all have to have hobbies.

The goal of abolishing the white race is on its face so desirable that some may find it hard to believe that it could incur any opposition other than from committed white supremacists. Of course we expected bewilderment from people who still think of race as biology. We frequently get letters accusing us of being "racists," just like the KKK, and have even been called a "hate group." ...
Our standard response is to draw an analogy with anti-royalism: to oppose monarchy does not mean killing the king; it means getting rid of crowns, thrones, royal titles, etc....
Every group within white America has at one time or another advanced its particular and narrowly defined interests at the expense of black people as a race. That applies to labor unionists, ethnic groups, college students, schoolteachers, taxpayers, and white women. Race Traitor will not abandon its focus on whiteness, no matter how vehement the pleas and how virtuously oppressed those doing the pleading. The editors meant it when they replied to a reader, "Make no mistake about it: we intend to keep bashing the dead white males, and the live ones, and the females too, until the social construct known as 'the white race' is destroyed—not 'deconstructed' but destroyed."
Also most of the Nordic countries use their national ID card database in lieu of an actual census collected fron the population via forms, these days.

Ignoring moderator warnings
I'm not at all opposed to "destroying the white race" as defined here. What I don't understand is why SJWs also don't want to also get rid of the "black race", the "yellow race", etc.
I also don't understand this rather bizarre and completely ignorant view that "dead white males" were somehow uniquely evil. Do these people not know that Transatlantic slave trade was only made possible by black rulers who sold their enemies (and sometimes even their subjects) as slaves, amassing huge fortunes in the process? Do they not know that millions of white Europeans were also enslaved by Africans and Middle Easterns, all the way to the 19th Century? Do they not know of the countless atrocities committed by the Mongols, the Chinese, the Japanese? How are dead white males any worse?
I also love the SJW's bloated sense of self-importance. They think because they publish some ignorant crap on a publication that nobody outside their echo-chamber reads, they will succeed in destroying the construct of the "white race"? Oh God.
