Oh, I wouldn't start it here. I'd go to some equally bileous forum, like spirituality and religion or something.

The denizens of the Caucasus Mountains are all either Russian Orthodox or Muslims. How can you be a Buddhist and a Muslim, or a Russian Orthodox believer at the same time?

Then the Idiot in Chief decided to implement the venal and cynical agenda of the PNAC by an invasion of Iraq, based upon specious allegations of weapons of mass destruction, and calculated insinuations of involvement in the September 11th tragedy spread abroad by Cheney in a manner to give the Shrub "deniability,"

*sigh*

I will opt for definition 2, you know, the one that says;

2 : of, constituting, or characteristic of a race of humankind native to Europe, North Africa, and southwest Asia and classified according to physical features -- used especially in referring to persons of European descent having usually light skin pigmentation

I am not surprised to hear you speak such drivel. When they change the term on the census, I will change the term I use to describe my lineage.

As far as I know, the term 'Caucasian' for 'white race' is used exclusively in North America - especially those, who are "race guided" would be very much surprised when the saw a Caucasian.

What census uses Caucasian?

It's definitely not the U.S. census.

your choices are ...

Quote:
Race
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2000 Census of Population, Public Law 94-171 Redistricting Data File. Updated every 10 years. http://factfinder.census.gov.

Definition:

The concept of race as used by the Census Bureau reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with which they most closely identify. These categories are sociopolitical constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature. Furthermore, the race categories include both racial and national-origin groups.

The racial classifications used by the Census Bureau adhere to the October 30,1997, Federal Register Notice entitled,"Revisions to the Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity" issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as "White" or report entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Near Easterner, Arab, or Polish.

Black or African American. A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as "Black, African Am., or Negro," or provide written entries such as African American, Afro American, Kenyan, Nigerian, or Haitian.

American Indian and Alaska Native. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America) and who maintain tribal affiliation or community attachment.

Asian. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. It includes "Asian Indian," "Chinese," "Filipino," "Korean," "Japanese," "Vietnamese," and "Other Asian."

Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands. It includes people who indicate their race as "Native Hawaiian," "Guamanian or Chamorro," "Samoan," and "Other Pacific Islander."

Some other race. Includes all other responses not included in the "White", "Black or African American", "American Indian and Alaska Native", "Asian" and "Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander" race categories described above. Respondents providing write-in entries such as multiracial, mixed, interracial, Wesort, or a Hispanic/Latino group (for example, Mexican, Puerto Rican, or Cuban) in the "Some other race" category are included here.

Two or more races. People may have chosen to provide two or more races either by checking two or more race response check boxes, by providing multiple write-in responses, or by some combination of check boxes and write-in responses.

Comparability. The data on race in Census 2000 are not directly comparable to those collected in previous censuses.

The concept of race is separate from the concept of Hispanic origin. Percentages for the various race categories add to 100 percent, and should not be combined with the percent Hispanic. Tallies that show race categories for Hispanics and nonHispanics separately are also available.



Ready to make that change yet, McG?

Census Bureau Response

We conducted cognitive research in the summer of 2003 to determine the feasibility of including "Caucasian" as part of the "White" category to the question on race. The resulting data are inconsistent. Some individuals view the while others thought that "Caucasian" was a more general term. In contrast, some focus group participants viewed the term "White" as a general term, whereas other respondents felt that "White" referred exclusively to descendants of Europeans (Jiles et al. 2003).

Given these mixed results, we may include "Caucasian" as part of the "White" response category to the question on race in the 2005 Census Test, in our continuing efforts to gather data about terminology that is meaningful to the greatest number of respondents.

Now we know what McG looks like ! ! !

Below is another image, a photograph of a contemporay Caucasian tribesman, of the type often referred to as "the White Hamas." You, know, McG--the Ingush and the Chechens are Caucasians--they've been there literally for millenia.

Whoo-Hoo ! ! ! Them Caucasians, they're snappy dressers . . .
