- YeGoblynQueenne 8y agoMore to the point, "caucasian" is an obsolete and ill-defined term that was interpreted in various ways throughout its history: The Caucasian race (also Caucasoid[1] or Europid)[2] is a grouping of human beings historically regarded as a biological taxon, which, depending on which of the historical race classifications used, have usually included some or all of the ancient and modern populations of Europe, Western Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa.[3] Since the second half of the 20th century, physical anthropologists have moved away from a typological understanding of human biological diversity towards a genomic and population-based perspective, and have tended to understand race as a social classification of humans based on phenotype and ancestry as well as cultural factors, as the concept is also understood in the social sciences.[8] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race
- faragon 8y agoSure, I forgot the quotes, thank you. The whole "race" thing is ridiculous, in my opinion.
- ThomasRedstone 8y agoIs white not an acceptable term? In Britain, on government forms that's the term used.
