Is calling white people "Caucasian" really a thing outside America and Asia? I never heard it until I got to the US, and then in Asia people wanted to "eat caucasian food".
Not really - maybe in other English-speaking countries due to American cultural influence, but essentially, it's an American peculiarity.
I seen a food video that showed a Caucasian restaurant in China I was quite confused as to what that was and the camera guy seemed to be too but they didn't explain it or check it out. I'm still wondering.
@@heidimarchant5438 Fried chicken,mashed potatoes and corn. Or steak & potatoes. Well,Southern Caucasians anyway😉 Probably some okra too,fried of course. Lots of butter,though thats changed a lot.
@@Dirtbag-Hyena But those aren't limited to white people just the south in general. I've had southern food from both white and black communities that cook so good it'll make your tongue slap your brains out. Maybe they just label it that to get a break from noodles and dumplings, I'm generalizing of course.
@@heidimarchant5438 I'm sure that was an Armenian / Azerbaijan / Georgian restaurant. Never heard anyone call white people Caucasian in China. And that's why I'm watching this : )
White and Caucasian have never been synonymous until it randomly started coming out of America. Here it's always meant Caucasus
Did you not watch the episode... the anthropologist literally called all european people caucasian because they were the pretty more superior race lol so it is synonymous because of him. That being said I believe it is outdated and wrong and come from racist beginnings. I completely agree with you and do not see myself a caucasian being an american primarily from western to mid europe.
@Axios .king Hmm, _"classifying human like you would butterflies or any other animals"_ is exactly what is called racist in Europe. (Whether it should be forbidden or not is a separate question.)
@Axios .king Calm down! I guess it's racist because it focuses on race. Pretty simple. In my country, it is considered racist just to state (say) "races exists".
@Axios .king Swedish.
@Axios .king No lmao, a lot of people from the Caucasus are considered poc in America, like Armenians and Azeri. So your point isn"t really valid?
I am a Circassian from the Caucasus, I cannot say that we consider ourselves the highest beauty, although light, white skin is the norm for us. The most important thing for us is dignity, purity, honor, duty to parents, people, If any other person has such qualities, then he is our close friend and respected person 🙌

Странно называть европейцев кавказцами... Другой типаж совсем... Взять белорусов, финнов, шведов... Кавказские народы заметно отличаются.
Just a little point. I think skin color is a adaptation to environment. Pigmentation protects one from the sun. Also lack of pigmentation promotes the production of vitamin D. Light skin is a environmental advantage in northern places while dark skin had a advantage in equatorial places.
Ure right
Absolutely true! If you look at the spread of skin color pigments across the planet you see a very clear trend of darker skin the closer to the equator. If you get tons of sun like in Africa you need more melanin to protect you and if you live somewhere that gets less sun like Norway you need less melanin in order to absorb the most sunshiney goodness possible.
@@bruhice6058 Oh boy, it's one of you guys. Care to explain all of the civilizations with people who have darker skin, and how far up north, there were almost none until recently (you know, English empire and all that)? If you bring up the Minoans, Greeks, and Romans, they are further down south, and live in the same Mediterranean climate as their neighbors in the Levant and North Africa.
That idea seems to have been replaced in recent years, we're finding that early migrants into Europe actually retained their original coloring until agriculture became the main source of food. For some reason a grain-heavy diet was missing some nutrients that previously hunter-gatherer humans had been consuming, and this lack of certain nutrients gave a very swift rise in favor of lighter skin. The darker skin being better for sun-heavy areas is definitely still an obvious survival advantage, but we know now that it isn't enough of a problem in northern climates to have caused the entire population to shift from dark brown to ghostly white. Also - it doesn't always hold up even with groups who are known to have populated a given area for thousands of years - think of say middle eastern peoples who while generally not as light as scandanavians are definitely not anywhere near as dark brown as human skin can be.
@anonymous anonymous If we don't live in sunny areas, we have to get most of our Vitamin D in food. It's not just black people either, anyone with medium to dark skin applies. It can actually cause mental problems, fun fact.
If Simon claps more, does he just keep changing clothes or does he get closer to naked?

What's wrong with calling people black or white? I'm not from the Caucasus, so I don't call myself caucasian.
Black and White is fine for casual conversations, but if you are discussing anything specific, it is too broad. There is very little in common between an Italian from New York and a Scandanavian from Norway.
And even in Scandanavia, the difference between a Finnish person and a Swedish person is incredible. The Finn speaks a different language, has different blood (Mongol), looks different, governs themselves differently, has a different history, etc. And it goes beyond borders, for instance. In Eurasia, there are a lot of genetic Germans. People who are German in all forms except what language they speak and what currency they pay their taxes in.
Im gonna call you caucasian so deal with it
Nothing, words are subjective and it's up to the interpretor to decide wether or not something said is offensive. Words aren't potent.
Ferguson101 call me negro thats cool your girl is gonna be screaming my name tonight
@@bruhice6058 Caucasian is just as broad, though, isn't it?
I’m Caucasian from Caucasus. I mean I live here. And I would not call my ethnic group “white”. A stereotypical caucasian person has dark brown eyes and hair and often tan skin. It is almost impossible to find naturally blond Caucasian person in my town. I live particularly in Russian part of Caucasus and Russians don’t really like us. It is hard to even rent an apartment, you won’t believe but they call us black🤦🏼♀️
I don’t understand why Americans would call themselves Caucasian after a small groups of nations that live in Caucasus mountains
because Caucasians are white lol
Randulf Der Should Americans call themselves Italians bc they’re white too?🤦🏼♀️😂
@@milana3588 some Americans are italians lol
Randulf Der Saxe and some Americans are Caucasian like the Kardashian family for example but not all white Americans are Caucasian🤦🏼♀️
@@milana3588 caucasian is the term used for white lol,
A better question is, why are Caucasians called 'white', when they are not all the same complexion. And why are all Africans called 'black', when they are not all the same complexion either?
It’s a basic way to say it. White and black makes things easy, I’m not gonna start calling people brown/tan/beige depending on

I once had a student from Russia. Her mother was confused and somewhat taken aback by her daughter being labeled as Caucasian. To her, people of the Caucasus Mountains were considered darker-skinned. Sadly, I guess racial profiles exist everywhere.
As first, I dont want to offend anybody, but....
Yes, I understand her mother. I live in Croatia, and here nobody will tell you, that we are Caucasians. For us, Caucasian are dark skinned, dark hairs, and small by height. We are taller, and light skinned, yes we have light or darker skin, but not dark as Caucasians are.
Quite a fool. Naturally, the greater and lesser Caucasus mountains reflect origins more than laypeople can tell
Yes dark-skinned people are found, not dark-skinned.
It might be proof our books sucks listen to the elders
It wasn't because of a skin tone but because Slavics and Caucasians are not the same for the rest of the world. Slavics: Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians, Poles, Serbians etc. Caucasians: Chechens, Georgians, Lezgians, Armenians etc. You literally confused her ethnicity, not just with another Slavic one but with another ethnic group with completely different traditions and culture.
You should do an episode about two identical twins Mark and Scott Kelly who both became astronauts, and how after spending a year on board the Space Station, Scott is now no longer identical to his brother as his DNA changed..

The answer is simply ionizing radiation. It would be a short video. I gave the reason in a short sentence.
malenotyalc that doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea for a video. The question posed in this video could be answered pretty quickly too
@@malenotyalc I feel like 90% of these videos can be summed up in a short sentence.

This is a US only terminology, no one in Europe would ever use it with this absurd meaning. Some that went to the us - or are from the XIX century - would understand you, but for the majority it only means "people from the Caucasus".
If you watch the video, it isn't proper terminology at all. The "racial" categorization" is quackery, but for some reason people still use it, even at the academic level.
Used in England, mostly in forms. Under "Race", White is instead "White Caucasion"
England doesn't count as Europe. :-P
@@Alias_Anybody If it doesn't count as Europe, what does it count as?
Atlantis.
No, seriously: They are obviously European, on a geographic level. But culturally they are weirdos.
I'm Georgian and trust me, it feels weird when you find "produces the most beautiful race of men, I mean the Georgians" in your textbook in middle-school. 100% of students were sure that guy was wrong, pointing fingers at each-other and laughing. (But I know deep down their hearts, they were all blushing, 'cause I sure was.)
My friend, you could not be so wrong. A few summers ago we had a large group of Georgian students here in San Diego.
San Diego, we have loads of beautiful women here. Because it is such perfect beach weather, But those gorgeous Georgian women were spectacular.
It's just one guy's opinion regarding racial beauty. Of course other people will agree and others will not and everyone will have their opinion on such matters as beauty.
@@electrogestapo What you're trying to say is, beauty is subjective.
The irony is the so called beautiful race ages poorly, deteriorates early and smells like cheese. God is fair.🤣
@@coolpoolshark Sooo . . . am I to understanding that you've met every Caucasian, observed all of them age and smelled every single one (which is really weird!)? Generalize much? Or just a racist troll. Pro'ly both.

I go with the approach of muting and leaving it running while I move onto something else. That way the channel get the viewership but I don't have to listen to it.

Sometimes I wait a sec to see what it is
@@mick7909 Same, Simon has given me many hours of entertainment/distraction and I typically try to make it at least a minute or so into the sponsorship so he can get that bread from his advertising sponsors. I like him and want him to make the money he deserves for having such a great channel.
Better question yet: why do we call people White or Black? Last time I looked in the mirror I was not a snowman or a blank piece of paper. I'm actually kind of pinkish-orangeish.
And "black people" aren't actually black either, judging by a crayon box. And for some reason you can't call someone "negro" even though that's spanish for black.
And while you can call Europeans white and Africans black you can't call Asians yellow or Native Americans red. Keeping in mind that none of them look like that to begin with.
This classification system is all kinds of fucked up.
Historically, a lot of groups used to use "black" and "white" as synonyms for "dark" and "light", respectively, when referring to humans. The Ancient Greeks, for example, called darker-skinned Greeks "black" and lighter ones "white", even describing Odysseus as turning from white to black when a spell returns him to his youthful appearance. When Europeans first started sailing down the Western coast of Africa and more regularly interacting with Sub Saharan Africans, these Africans were overwhelmingly darker than the average "black" European (not counting the relatively small minority of Sub Saharan African traders who lived in various parts of Europe prior to the 15th century). As such, they were considered universally black, and as the appearance of "Black" Africans became rooted in the public consciousness, darker skinned Europeans started being viewed as "white" by comparison.
It's interesting to note that for a very long time, other dark skinned people like Indians, Native Australians, and certain Southeast Asians were also called black. I'm of Indian descent, and within my Indian-Australian mother's lifetime, she was considered black. I'm not sure why people have tended to shift toward calling Indians "brown" rather than "black", even though other groups with brown skin, like Africans and, often still, Aboriginal Australians, continue to be called "black".
@@eruditootidure2611 A surprisingly erudite reply, thanks. It's a comprehensible explanation but I'll still refuse to call my afro-dutch friends black. They call themselves black sometimes and that's fine, but I won't reduce them to this incorrect descriptor. I don't want to be called white, because I'm not. I'm the tall guy with the funny hair, and my name is Vincent.
But that's were the base of the issue lies, doesn't it: every person is so individually different from the next, but we still try with all our might to reduce big swaths of people to their smallest common denominator because we don't want to invest the time and effort to acknowledge their individuality. It took many cultures centuries to even acknowledge other cultures as being human and not just as mongrels and barbarians. People on smaller sexual spectrums have to fight to be recognised as separate groups among the LGTBQ community. Right wing parties paint all minorities as criminals to create a perversely simplified picture of "the bad other".
I just want to do my part of raising awareness even among my friends by not tagging people with ancient labels that have no place in a modern society.

white = pink (that goes from white/pink in scandinavia and pink/beige in south europe)
black = brown (that goes from ultra dark brown almost black like the Zulus to lightskin like will smith)

But the funny thing is, Europeans(who classify themselves as Caucasian) don't accept us Georgians as one of them.
Americans classify Europeans as "Caucasian". Europeans don't. If you talk to a European about "Caucasians", he'll usually think of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.
@@varana armenians and azeris aren't caucasian
@@lukabagration1793 Of course they are, in European parlance. Both Armenia and Azerbaijan are situated in the Caucasus region, with part of the Greater (northern) Caucasus being in Azerbaijan, and much of the Lesser (southern) Caucasus in Armenia. That makes these countries "Caucasian".
The idea of calling Europeans "Caucasian" is nowadays an American phenomenon, and a not very intelligent one at that.
@@varana the "lesser" caucasus is completely different mountain system than greater caucasus so it wouldn't make any difference if it had a completely different name. they just gave it similar name because "it's close to caucasia so whatever lol" so that makes Armenia 0% in caucasia. azerbaijan on the other hand does have small bit of caucasian mountains in it's territory but it's nothing significant and people don't live there oh and the most important thing....THEY'RE TURKIC PEOPLE. they come from central asia, they're not native caucasians like georgians and north caucasians.
they're just called caucasian for the same reason white people are called caucasian in america - just because and it's not true

The truth is not all Caucasians are white. Everyone from India, Iran, the Middle East, etc are also Caucasians. Complexion varies greatly within the Caucasian racial group. Not that the whole concept isn't horribly outdated by now in anthropological terms.
@@sopothetocho actually , hes right.
Linguists originally used the term "Caucasian" to describe a group of languages that seem to originate from the Caucus mountain area.
They now use different terms largely because the Nazi's co-opted several of their terms.
But Hindi and Persian were part of the "Caucasian Group".
Linguists didn't use the term to describe a race , but the origin of the language.
Correct term is European because anyone with light enough skin can be "white"
@@Dragoncam13 No, as people from Northeast Asia are just as pale skinned as any European.

As a purely objective, unbiased Georgian I have reached the conclusion that Georgians are the most beautiful kind of white.
David Greek descendants are the smartest
Even in Kyrgyz, Caucasian has two meanings, the wide racial description (including Europeans, West Asians, and non-black North Africans, and maybe Asian Indians), or someone from the Caucasus region.
For all the people who don't understand, let me make it simple:
A bunch of skulls were found in the caucus mountains and measured, one of the distinctive features was the high bridge, slender nose and lips.
The SKULLS were named as Caucasian skulls after the caucus mountains where they were found.
At that time a bunch of scientists were measuring skulls and trying to categories the "RACES"?
The skulls found in the mountains were classified as Indo-Europeans from India, north Africa, middle East and fucking EUROPE!!!! To reference certain skull features.
All white people have the features of the Caucasian skull (and believed to be ancestors of the skulls as humans moved into Europe).
That's why they are called Caucasian!!!!!
But obviously, a middle Eastern person with Caucasian skull features can be Caucasian too.
It has nothing to do with being from the caucas mountains.
The skulls were named after the mountains because they were found there!!!!
OUTSTANDING explanation.. Thank you. People need to understand that fact... Simple concise and correct.
I am from Dagestan, Dagestan is located in the North Caucasus. Russians call us Caucasians black. In the Caucasus, our indigenous people are both white and swarthy, and we have many different nationalities, this is not a problem for us.
If there are any mistakes in writing, then this is an online translator.
Originally Our people are proto Europeans. Caucasians was White civilization but as our people Mixed with turks, Mongols, armenians , iranians they got DARK skin. I dont Care peoples skin. Important is to be human but i Just say. The Origin of White people is in Northern Caucasus, Georgia, Albania, Serbia. Our culture today in Mountains is a Proto European culture. After Islam CAME to caucasus the People changed more Like arabs a Lot but Not all. Our caucasian Adat was Based on the jewish Torah laws. Adat is a hebrew/Arab Word, originally hebrew. Even today Lot of caucasian words is from Hebrew. In Georgian in chechen Lot of words are Same Like jewish.... Caucasians are one lost Tribe of the tribes of Israel i think. BecAuse they look 1:1 Same Like jews and even the culture of caucasian is Similar to jewish Traditions Like women clothing. But the caucasians forgot the Most since they stopped living after the Torah and later they became Muslim, almost The Same but with too much Arabic influence For me.

@@kavkazEagle77 Yes, there is no problem in the fact that in our languages there are many words from Hebrew, from Arabic, and from Turkish, and also Russian words are now present in our languages.

We don't need democracy and other laws that people have come up with. I would like to note one important thing, in connection with the situation at the airport in Dagestan.

My mother once told me about how a friend of hers was trying to fill out a job application for the department store where mom worked. The application contained a section where the applicant was supposed to list his or her race/ethnicity, nationality, etc. Mom's friend complained that of all the races listed, there was no mention of white people, and therefore, she couldn't write down that she was white. Well, mom looked at the paper and told her "It says it right here, 'Caucasian.' " To this, her buddy replied "I'm not Chinese!"
In other words, she confused "Caucasian" with "Asian!"
Your mom’s friend was dumb. Not all Asians are Chinese. People from China are Oriental, just like the people from other Chinese countries, such as Japan and Korea, obviously.

Caucasian is the origin point for Europeans. Had this discussion while bowling one night. 🌃
FASCINATING! One of the most interesting and educational videos you’ve done. Excellent ❗️
Because the world was being explored intensely at that time, naturally ( as in the past as well) people were trying to explain the origins of the races. One popular theory at the time was that people from the Caucus mountains and surroundings migrated north and from there to Europe and Northern Asia as well as south to India. Since that was the supposed origin, that name was chosen and it stuck. Interestingly a 1.8 million year old group of skulls was recently found in the region, so maybe they were on to something.
@Robb Hewitt, true but unfortunately none of these early race scientist including Bloominbauch left Europe, and they were doing this by skull shape in some instances. That is why a now they say a East African is Caucasion, but a West African is Negroid, and a South African is, well they have not came up with a name there because simply put. The African continent is where mankind came from and you will see every human variation of skull type there is among the African population and it has nothing to do with interracial breeding as some would assume.
No you whites come from no parts of Africa , you are not from the land of the sun child , then traveled to Europe and turned white because it was cold. You wannabes, are Neanderthals. That’s who your ancestors are, and what the white race derived from. The caves in Europe. The Neanderthals were an uncivilized.. savage of ppl , in fact they are not even considered human, white ppl have Neanderthals blood. We ppl of color at that time were homo sapiens , which is human an it was only one race of ppl that were homo sapiens Africans… the negro race.
You know white ppl are so delusional , they’ll do anything to paint themselves as part of African history because it holds the most advanced society.
Nazis called us the perfect white people 🤣🤣🤣 🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
Francois Bernier was the first one to describe whites as caucasians one century before Blumenbach in 1684 when he published his book “Nouvelle division de la terre par les différentes espèces ou races qui l'habitent”
Thanks for the word origin....often wondered myself. Mack Weldon products are the best. Very nice fitting and extremely comfortable. A little pricey for a pair of underwear but well worth it.
Funny thing - in Russia caucasions are called black.
Ruslan Rus because you guys are irradiated and insane
Eh, here black people were called blue (cause there was not word for black)
@@connorb2112 - well, its blue. Ah a bit odd Norse knowledge .. people then would call nearly black horses brown and black was associated with the feathers of a raven i think. Which shine blue.
Since those were pretty much the darkest colours (with ash coming from wood, hence brown) - the concept of black is a novel one. - well, novel in linguist terms. Also in how it is used in common speech.
Long story short, Icelandic is quite close to the old Norse .. and we do not run into black people much (or did not) so no one really cared to make up a new word for it. That has of course changed in modern times .. and now black is "svartur"
edit: oh, and do not call a black person "blue" in Iceland. It is a racist term today.
@@Alfadrottning86 In Iceland it wouldn't surprise me if you know all the black people living there and at least 2 members of the football team
Yes because Russians are extremely ignorant to how different Caucasians can look. They also put Central Asians in the same basket as Caucasians and will claim there's no difference between them all smh.
1. No-one's black or white. Never have been. 2. Caucasians are the multi-hybrid people who live in the Caucasus region or who migrated from there. 3. Caucasoids are the medium yellow spectrum Human Archetype Breed that originated from the Caucasus Mountains area. Now you know. Learn Human Archetype Breeds. - Dave.
Because they came out of the caucus mountains. Beasts uncivilized, wicked evil people the Bible speaks of Esau, Edomites
For anyone else who had to rewind three times because he tried to say it all in one syllable:
"Five-fold categorization system for humans: Caucasian, Ethiopian, Mongolians, Americans, and Malays[ian]"
Please don't put the "ian" on the end of Malays as being the same thing since Malaysian refers to the citizens of Malaysia and the Malays refers to the indigenous inhabitants of the region. Malaysia has a very large Chinese descent population that would not claim to be Malays.
Americans are mongoloids
In school we learned that there are Europioid, Mongoloid, Negroid, Americanoid and Asianoid groups of people. Dunno if its translates the same in English
Its not Malaysian. Just Malay. Malaysians are the citizens of Malaysia. Malays are the groups of people who settled in the islands of Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, etc.

Its funny because the first "caucasians" were black lmao
There are no black ppl ever in that area
If it's wrong to call Asian people Oriental, since the Orient is only a small part of Asia, then it's wrong to call white people Caucasian since my family did not come from the Caucasus.
3:08 - "Once you go black, you never go back."
Exactly
Because you can’t: you’ll be resigned to misery for life, for you’ll be long past the point of return.
My question is "why are people of European descent called white, when they clearly are not white?" For example the shot in the video when you are wearing the under shirt, that is white and clearly not close to the color of your skin
Well, black people aren't black too, they're brown. The easiest explanation is that by white people meant fair, and by black meant dark.
People of color should represent all people because white is a color too! Don't be seperated from that phrase.
They're called causian because calling them white people seperates them from everybody else who is different. In the early 2000's, they were called causians because it helps bring everybody together.
3:40 my history professor used to complain that they always focus on the poor in African countries, or the wilds, but they don't feature the Appalachian communities of the US or the slums in Europe...
Wow, as a Georgian I would say it is weird, not about races or colors, but that he is not only one who called us "The most beautiful people", in fact I have heard it from different scientists and just poets and writers, even empress of Russia. I even know that way before in medieval times, Persians and Turks were taking Georgian women, sometimes Georgian kings were sending women to those countries as an obligatory payment and reason was that they wanted to make their descendants more beautiful.
Interesting.
Back in those days they thought obese women were beautiful. Brazilian women look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more beautiful than ANY European women. Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. Women of color (red, brown, yellow, etc) are more beautiful than pale peach pasty women…that’s why tanning, Botox etc are so popular & booming billion dollar industries…deep down you know this
@@armyantlocsta what a jealousy is this? This isn't competition. You might like tanned people others pale. Caucasus georgia particularly is very diversed country. There are dark or white people. Pale or tonned.

About a century ago the US Supreme Court ruled that (depending on the cast) people of Indian ancestry could be Caucasian but they could not be white.

I know it's an old episode. And TBH I was just curious where the word "Caucasian" came from. But as I flip through these comments it forces me to ponder why it matters. Aren't we all "technically" the human race? Hell, take a look around yourselves. Some people care more about treating plants, insects, animals, even parasites with more respect than we give each other. Worried for their futures and survival, while at the same time, cursing the driver in front of us(regardless of race or gender) for driving too slow on our way home with McDonald's. Yes we are as far as we know the most intellectual species, but only to find how ignorant we truly are. We've pulled ourselves OUT of the circle of life to become the most advanced species, and forgotten how it all works naturally.
Nature will survive our insignificant life spans.
The universe will move on for millennia with us being little consequence on one planet.
Skin color doesn't matter.
Treating everyone as you wish to be treated?
Does.
We all know that didnt happen at first. Caucasian people took it to the extreme and oppress Inidgenous cultures to this very day. As it was written, all that will come to an end and those who enslaved will be enslaved.
And here we see the two sides of Twitter summed up in two different comments. Truly a sight to behold.
Race is a term largely used to stratify groups of people during the colonial period, used by white people. Being white has also changed throughout time as Jews, Irishmen, and Italians used to be excluded from this category. America is honestly just obsessed with labeling and categorizing people as a way to delineate the privileged and the unprivileged…. And the enslaved. Before these absurd delineations, no one really faced immense discrimination or prejudice even the enslaved. Race generally, for the majority of human history, insinuated some form of kinship. People would usually describe someone via their national allegiance more so than our contemporary meaning of “race”.
2 years ago most blacks were saying they were Africans. Then they said they are native Americans. Then they said they were Israelites, then they said they are the true Jews, then they said they are the real true Native Americans. Eerbody else just chillin. It don't matter now boo!!! Stop playin musical chairs. We gotta save our asses.! Together. Aint nobody caring bout that!!!! I SAY, YOU ARE MY BROTHER. YOU ARE MY SISTER! WE HAVE TO HELP EACH OTHER NOW!! COME ON!
When your 7-minute scripted video contains nearly two minutes of verbally advertising a sponsor you've become cable television.
Before today, I didn't even know what caucasian meant.
Ive actually noticed some questionnaires listing the word white instead of caucasian.
British Scandinavian, german, spainiard, Poland, Yugoslav, Greek, Russian, Turkiye, Chechen, Georgia, Armenia, Azeri, Iraq, Syria, Saudi, oman, Egypt, Morocco, Lybya, Persia, Tajik all caucasian raced people! They divided nordic face, latin face, Slavic race, north African and middle east faces
Why are Caucasian’s called white people? I’m half Italian 25 Native American 25 Irish. Still white?
Simon pronounces "autochthones" smoothly as if he knew what it means (I don't either)
This is definitely wrong.. One more thing is there’s many Caucasians but it’s weird how not one Caucasian speaks of the Origins in which they are Named After..If Caucasians are from the Annunaki, Atlanteans or Sumerians, then why is an entire race named after one small Place which is the Caucus Mountains? And why aren’t there any RUclips video speaking of these mountains anywhere? If Caucasians came from all of these other races then why is the entire race named after the these specific mountains in Europe?? Why is the Caucus Mountains Topic always avoided??
Caucasian= Georgians, Ossetians, Chechens, Avars, Circassians, Armenians, Azerbaijanis
Their skin complexion is way lighter than pink-skinned, tan Europeans.
armenians and especially azerbaijanis aren't caucasian
Indo germans
Came from caucasus
Called aryans
Some settled in europe
Some in north india
This came thru iran
Cuz of this iran got its name
Iran means land of the aryan
Aryan in the anthropolitical sense of the term has nothing to do with a culture but differientiates into a indo european language spoken under a common stock of people
Modern academia has managed to confuse the two in recent decades.
Aryan is a Persian "word" means non-Semitic (Semetic groups are Jews and Arabs) people. In other words, for Persians if you were Turkish, Egyptian or Tajick you are Aryan. Germans abused the word "Aryan" (for Germans during the NAZI era, Aryan meant blue eyed and poor Germans).
Georgian are proto arian Europeid
The term "Caucasian" is rarely used in the UK. They usually use "white" or "European". This is proper usage.
it's not really proper tho now is it? not all white people look the same and not every europeans look the same either. europeans have diverse haplogroups. a greek person and a norwegian person aren't the same and georgia isn't even in europe but they're whiter than the entire south europe. race is more complicated than just "white" or "european"
Caucasian is proper terminology. Caucs.
@@niapaulino3310 as someone from Caucasus region I tell you it's not. most of us has brown eyes/hair and tanned skin, so no, this is just cultural appropriation by stealing a term from us.
@@niapaulino3310 ok so all white people are georgians, chechnyans, ossetians etc. Etc.
I randomly googled Simon Whistler and it turns out he is only 31 years old. I certainly assumed he was older.
White skin is a fixed albino race. We can from black and brown people. Adam and Eve were black. Caucasians came from Georgia which are called Georgians. They are considered the most beautiful people, although all humans are beautiful. Although Georgians are not white, so it's kind of confusing where both white and Caucasians became one? Many say USA? America were red skinned people, native Americans if you will that were wiped out from the invasion of French, and Spaniards.. Modern American history is false, and it takes someone to do hard research to present us about skin pigmentation. We are all human and should be treated equally. No skin is superior. White skin is not superior.
Adam and Eve never existed.
is it me or do only the English speakers call the white people « caucasien » bc only heard it in english
Very nice and succinctly put. Almost leaving out the politics and racial bias that made Americans pick these describers. (Because basically it is only used in the US on your drivers license or when the popo is looking for you.)
Just a note about science in those days. It was pretty normal to do research on a subject not to test a theory but to confirm a theory or social bias often bases biblical 'facts'. It was pretty much expected even. Proof that white is best.
When Blumenbach basically started to refute his own research (as that is what it seemed like he did) he was actually 'peer reviewing' his own ideas as most scientists viewed it as confirming that 'white is best'. He postulated that culturally embedded racism was not the way to view his findings, and perceived absence of intelligence and anything 'white culture' saw as inferior in other races was just an opinion that had no scientific bases what so ever. There was just the way to describe different people. He scrapped the conclusions that this could be used to 'rate' people completely. But damage had been done and his system has been hijacked by smaller minds. So there seems no escaping this or it's racist context.
Info is wrong.
Caucasian is referring to people that originated from the caucus mountains of Asia, in particular the mountains between Iran and Kurdistan.
Info isn't wrong, the term is commonly used to refer to white people, for the reasons Simon explained in the video. Doesn't matter if it's being incorrectly applied to them, the video's explanation of why it's used in such a manner is correct.
Gosh, im Circassian from North Caucasia. We call ourselves as Caucasian because we are native. Sorry guys please if someone call themselves as Caucasian, ask them are you from Caucasia? We are not trying to tell anyone HEY WE ARE WHITE!!!!😅
I love the way we used to speak English. It's like a different language versus today. I've concluded recently that as time progresses, humanity only becomes further lost, a hell of a lot dumber and thoroughly more ignorant! The intelligent, the creative or the free-thinkers will continue to be be snuffed out by the lowest common denominator mob more & more.
There are some indications that man’s first recognized civilization came from the Caucuses, with the Aratta people. We don’t know much about them, but they preceded the Ancient Sumerians by thousands of years. And they are the first instance of swastikas (on their pottery & petroglyphs). It is thought some moved into the Gobleki Tepe region of Turkey, while others made their way to the Indus Valley of India.
Clear evidence that all ancient humans were Nazi's. Lol!
American Freedom-Fighter -Don’t laugh too hard. The Caucasians at least might be. Research who the Anunnaki were (The little “g” gods of old, in Ancient Sumer). Some wonder if these “Aratta” were the mysterious “Scythian” people. Others go further saying that they were also what we now call the “Nordics”, an alien species that conspiracy sorts say worked with the Nazis, assisting them during WW2, filling Hitler’s head with Aryan superiority & master race inevitability. So many conspiracy drenched rabbit holes & controversial connecting passages, you might never exit the same person as you entered. The more you learn about the Anunnaki, the more you will realize how little everyone knows about our own history, our own religions (plural) & our own science. As Graham Hancock says, “we are a species with amnesia,” our own history much longer & more complicated than you ever imagined. (I did a lot of name & people dropping there in case you want to google any of it. But I’m dead serious about it leading to a maze of connecting rabbit holes)
I'd rather be called an American Protestant of European descent than "white" ... It's too vauge.

Also, that line was used for another clothing sponsor.
Well, of course, race is a complicated issue but I don't think "Caucasian" only refers to "white" people. Caucasians range from Scandinavians to Slavs to Magyars to Italians and Greeks to Turks, Arabs, Persians, Indians, Afghans, etc. There are light and dark members of all races.

In Russia and the former USSR the term Caucasian (кавказец - kavkazets) refers specifically to the Caucasus Region in southern Russia (Dagestan, Chechnya etc.) along the Caucasus Mountains as well as Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. Although a mix of Muslim and Christian communities as well as many different languages, there is a general culture (food and dress) that unites this area and gives it a distinct “Caucasian” style. Also, many real Caucasians are darker complected compared to the “white” Slavic Russians so that further confuses the true meaning of the term Caucasian. After living in and traveling the former USSR I feel really silly checking a box for “Caucasian” back in the States because I’m not really from the Caucasus region!
I know. It's all messed up. Чушь какая то. Ссылаются на кого то ученого который жил триста леты тысяч назад, без технологии и тд.
They are the father of lies!
The thing is Caucasians looks are very diverse. I've seen Caucasian with blue, black, brown, green eyes; red, blonde, brown hair; white, brown colored skin. I just hate the fact that everybody whose white and have blonde hair calls themselves Caucasians, because Caucasians collectively don't have only that futures. Caucasus has such a big history and somebody saying that they're caucasian because of their skin color is so annoying and disturbing to me(as a Caucasian). Can you just say you're american? When I hear caucasian i think about natives from Georgia, Azerbaijan etc. Maybe even some part of Europe. It's just confusing. Just say you're American or white and that's it.
Somehow this comment section is gonna turn racist.
Turn? The very topic is racist because it is talking about race. Dur...
@@malenotyalc you obviously dont know what "racism" is.
racism is: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
racist is: a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
You may not see it now, but we are all human. To segregate/separate people because of ethnicity, culture, or creed into subdivisions of humanity is not equality. History should have taught you by now that separate but equal is not equal. Divisions are just that, the things that divide us. We are human, nothing more nothing less. Thus the very naming of peoples is racist in origin and practice.

This is a great informative video. It has inspired me to think about, and ask this:
When do we begin to look beyond external physical characteristics and finally understand that we are all human beings? I'm a person with light skin. There is a person with dark brown skin. Over there is a person with red skin. Male, Female, Pale, Dark and every variance and combination thereof. These are my people. Overemphasis on race and gender, to classify different people, and their perceived roles and stereotypes, is a human creation. It is too common to fear what is different. And that fear can lead to a dislike or even hatred in extreme cases. Yes, we are, and will always be different from one another. We do indeed have physical traits that are different from region to region. Those traits exist for specific reasons. Whether you believe it is evolution or God's plan, those differences exist. What we as human beings need to do, is to learn not to fear what we don't closely relate to. We all have hearts minds and souls. Our blood is the same red. Our loves and desires differ very little. Everyone loves another human, or even many other humans. Every person wants happiness for themselves and those they love. We have the capacity to love other humans. So that means we also have the capacity to love *ALL* other humans. As brothers, and sisters. As equals. As kin and countrymen/women. As a divided humanity, we will not internally progress much more. As a unified humanity, we can overcome those fears and be better to each other and ourselves, and have brighter futures. Nobody is perfect. I am far from it! Despite all that tries to divide us, and classify us as different, we are but one race. We. Are. Humanity.

G haplogroup is native caucasian.
Europeans have it, but it's pretty low, and very high among Caucasians (from Caucasus, specifically Georgia and North Caucasus, also Laz people in Turkey). I guess that kinda justifies the term, but in that sense we should also start calling J2 people arabs 🤷♂️
