The white flag is used to communicate surrender.
Blanca is a term that has multiple uses. It can be used as an adjective or as a noun, depending on the context .
The first thing to keep in mind is that white is the feminine of white : the color corresponding to the tone of sunlight without being broken down into the different colors of the spectrum . Milk and snow , for example, are white.
Absence of darkness
The color white is linked to the absence of darkness and, in turn, maximum clarity . That is why it can be said that white things are luminous.
Based on this appearance, multiple symbolisms are attributed to the white tone. Peace , innocence , cleanliness and purity are represented with white in most Western countries.
The white flag
Many times, the physical or concrete merges with the symbolic. In the military field, the white flag is a canvas of that color that allows communicating the intention to interrupt or stop hostilities ; express the desire to establish a dialogue with the enemy; or report the surrender .
Centuries before Christ, the white flag was already used to surrender and thus recognize a military defeat. On the other hand, those who wore some type of white badge in a war zone were not involved in the conflict.
It is important to mention that the Geneva Convention officially accepts the use of the white flag. Even if any side uses the white flag in a deceptive or inappropriate way, it commits a war crime.
White people have light skin.
The Caucasian race
The Caucasian race or white race is the race that is characterized by light skin. The name Caucasian is linked to the fact that said race is supposed to have originated in the Caucasus .

The predominant position in the scientific field is that, from a biological point of view, human races do not exist since variations are not linked to different genes.
Another point that is often debated is that white people do not actually have white skin . The pigmentation is more similar to different kinds of pink .
