I once said that I'm Caucasian and some American leftists got mad at me and told me to just call myself "White". I'm a chechen. From the north caucasus.
It's kinda annoying that when I say that I'm caucasian,people assume that I should have white skin and light features. I'm from Georgia and it's so hard to explain sometimes
@edps cupcake maybe because she comes from Georgia? She's Georgian. She's calling herself Caucasian for shits and giggles to deliberately confuse people re. her skin colour.
Shelby explained it well the structure of the US its institutions its laws and constitution were written and made by European descendants for European descendants
Being Russian, I have plenty of friends who are from the Caucasus and laugh inside every time Americans (or Australians) use the word Caucasian word to refer to white people
@@MDLuffy-oc8tr And where are the Azerbaijanis and Armenians, they are not Caucasians and they are not part of Russia. Representatives of the Caucasus are Dagestanis, Chechens, Ingushs and they are part of Russia. Learn history before you try to be clever
@boo boo People there have a distinctive look, they are very light skinned by nature, robust facial features, and very few have Asiatic eye shapes probably because of Turkic influence.

I was very confused when I found out random americans called themselves "caucasian" when I learned english (I am circassian) I was like "how come people who don't even know where causasus is call themselves caucasian?"

Some people tend to forget that people from the Caucasus do not all look the same: there are Circassians who are often blonde and blue eyed, and there are also Dagestans for example, who are mostly olive skinned, black haired, etc.
The whitest people in the Caucasus are the Chechens, the Circassians are the descendants of the Hutts, these are the Middle Eastern people, and the Chechens are the Caucasians, the people who originated in the Caucasus, all the rest have mostly dark skin color, black hair, since they are of Turkic or Persian origin
Caucasian makes sense when used to describe people from the Caucasus. It's a shame so many people are oblivious of this region, because it's culturally fascinating. E.g., Georgian writing and folk music is absolutely beautiful. A unique culture at the intersection of Europe, Russia and the Middle East. They managed to preserve their culture and language despite being surrounded by empires.
I never knew it existed until yesterday. I always thought there was only 1 Georgia (use) but now I know Georgia is also a country. I never heard of it.
the fact about georgia living on the mountains and that they have a distinct alphabet really drive the point that j.r.r. tolkien based the elves on georgian culture
You do know that Caucasus original and Caucasian mixtures came later Georgians? or Judeans or Babylonians and Turks who came from north Africa what makes that area called turkey today ! Turks came from west India or china one or the two . Most of the real Caucasus people moved out of the area in the 1600s or before moved to England lol www.google.com/search?q=phrygians+quarry&sca_esv=561614363&hl=en&sxsrf=AB5stBiR0eOxAFiPROUh7T_K9aY8Qk0OVA%3A1693484407960&source=hp&ei=d4XwZNyHOL6fkdUPwrCAsAo&iflsig=AD69kcEAAAAAZPCTh0KBMAUJOPmUyPIYNBIn9NkW9a82&oq=&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IgAqAggAMgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnSLYJUABYAHABeACQAQCYAQCgAQCqAQC4AQHIAQCoAgo&sclient=gws-wiz&bshm=rimc/1 Why did people leave Ephesus? In the sixth and seventh centuries A.D., a massive earthquake and the harbour's continuing decline left Ephesus a shell of the city it used to be, and Arab invasions forced most of the population of Ephesus to flee and start a new settlement. and most of them were Armenian what's called Georgia today
As someone from Georgia it is hard sometimes to explain my race or where im from (especially to people who think that im from USA state) so every time i have to say "no im a real caucasian" when it comes to race (thus explaining that im not slavic or middle eastern). So yeah, if the western countries would get rid of that term for defining a "white person" that would be great. Nice video.
@@dom_xi-dzopa720 Black. Actually let me digress......'black' comes from the old English term 'blæc' which is of German origin (no surprise there), they also say it comes from the Proto-Germanic word 'blakaz' which they say means burnt. But the Proto-Indo-European word 'bhleg' has another meaning which is 'shine, to shine', cognate with old Saxon (old English) 'blac'. This were it gets interesting because its a auto' antonym meaning both 'white 'bright' or 'pale' and also 'dark' or 'black' as we know the word today. Which is why many Caucasians have the surnames 'Blake, Blakeman, Blackman, Blakemere because the word 'blake' also means 'bright' 'shining' or 'pale', as well as 'dark' and 'black' but saying the word black is like saying blake means blake. The thing is, black people were never called black in those times, black people were called Moor, which is why you have the names 'Blakemoor/Blakemore,' and 'Blackmoor/Blackmore'. Another example of role reverse. Caucasians gradually changed the identity of what you know as Negroes into the word 'black' which is what 'white' people used to be called. All part of Operation Whitewash, whitewashing goes way much deeper (I mean DEEP) than what people believe, its whether people still want to be (or live) in denial and not just be real with themselves and accept the truth.
@@dom_xi-dzopa720 'Bleach' (bleak) is known to 'become light, to lighten/whiten, to brighten. Origins of the word 'bleak' - Old Norse 'bleikr' and Middle English 'bleik' - Old English 'blæc, blāec, blaec/blaecan' (K and C have been known to be interchangeable throughout the centuries). History can also be discovered and traced through language, linguistics, etymology.

SmashTheGranny OutOfIt I absolutely can not agree with your sentences. First of all there aren't any races without a culture. But if there would be an opportunity of calling a race "cultureless", I definitely wouldn't call the whites in that way. Just look at all those Empires, Castles and Kingdoms that were built in the Mediveal Ages, Colonies to rule over the world, 70%-80% of world's scientific researches (electricity, chemistry, physics, biology, democracy, cars, planes, space travel, psychology, guns, modern literature, ... ... ) and the european languages like french, german, polish, italian, spanish, portuguese and english for example. Yeah, I am right, without the white culture you wouldn't speak english. There is A MASS of "caucasian" cultural engagements (Oktoberfest in Bavaria, Mediteranian Wine, American Thanksgiving, The different Christian confessions, to name just a few). It isn't right to call whites cultureless!!

Btw Actual Caucasian DNA from the mountains is much more dominant in the middle East then in Europe as place like Kurdistan,Iran,Iraq or Turkey have very high precetages from their paternal DNA from the Caucasus,take this as opposed the only Place that have significant Caucasian DNA in Europe is Southern Russia or the various Turkic peoples North West of the Caspian.Intersting thing to add is that under various folk stories and entirely different culture all around the Middle East and steppe people in Euroasian Steppes,all believed that Caucasus is the place of great importance(For example the mountains feed some of the rivers and were consider as source of life to the people of the steppes and farm in Middle East)Many nation in Middle east having their own story of a massive flood under Jewish version atleast it was in The Caucasus that Noah lived and restarted Humanity.

White means Anglo Saxon in the US and Caucasian means w Eurasian. White is very subjective in the US and parts of Europe do not even use White like southern Europe.
Why arent they called european american?, why are people with ancestors deriving from africa labeled as african american? In these terms, americans are exclusively the natives who were here before the europeans and africans were introduced, am i right or can someone correct me, not trying to cause a conflict, just trying to understand
... and the ancestors of the natives came from Asia. The ancestors of the Asians came from Africa. The ancestors of the Europeans came from Africa, too. On the way to Europe they might hace interbred with Neanderthals in the Caucasus. A memory they are very fond of, hence the name.
We call our self African Americans because our ancestors are from Africa and we were born here since slavery so we call our self African American we been using the term since the 1920 and it just stock why do everybody always worry about what we do and how we do things 🤔 always wondered that
King Malibu What sarcastic stupid question...its a reasonable question why are White Americans not called Europeans americans if Africans are called African Americans. It might make sense to you but not for people outside of America.Its not white people wondering about black people like you said. It's people from other countries trying to understand American terms...
There's no group of peoples in Europe that is originally from Europe... The most close that it gets is "Indo-European" and since the "Indo" part is long gone for the most part, "Caucasian" is a good point of reference, by history, culture, tradition, genetics movements throughout the land, etc. The exception could be the Basque Country, but it's a discussed topic.
In The Netherlands people use Mongolian or as we Dutch say it "Mongool" as curse word. But we associate the word "mongool" with people who have down syndrome. Languages are so strange!
That has origins in the Mongolian invasions of Europe in the Middle Ages. A good book for information would be "Genghis Khan and the making of the modern world", by Jack Weatherford. It's also really entertaning!
The word exists in the English language as well. "Mongoloid", and it refers to a particular skull shape, caused by certain illnesses. Also used quite freqvent as an insult
I will take this unique opportunity to ask you -does that hammer work as a butt plug? Even more important, can you recharge it with an usb from your phone?
Mongolians were actually a red headed blue eyed race based on historical, folk data. But, people that worship mainstream communist education draw a link between whites and blacks. The theory, which was developed by Darwin (Catholic Church) states that every race on the planet came from the black African continent. Now, I'm so sure about that. For obvious reasons. Like the lack of reasoning.
@@Hyden21 No, the Jews that were massacred control a lot of information and media. Ghangus Khan and Adolf Hitler are the most under-represented individuals in history. Khan controlled the Silk Road through Mongolian territory and to a large extent into China and Russia. The story of why the Jews dont like Khan and represent him as some murderous warlord is because he was responsible for the death of 250,000 eastern European Jews. Basically, Khan sent a courier with a letter of negotiation and peace addressed to the Jews in what's now called Eastern Europe but was called the Kzarian Empire. The Jews sent back his courier with his head chopped off. Well after that he lead his army in revenge and killed 250k+ KZAR Jews!!! This is why Ghangus Khan is see as such a warlord because he, like Hitler challenged the Jew.
Caucasian does not mean white. It includes people from Europe, The Middle East, North Africa, parts of Central & South Asia. Clearly these people vary in color from white to brown.
Musto Chase Not really. I’m Arab and have family members with pale skin, literally super white & light brown hair color (and we do not have European heritage) It happens, but it’s rare. & I’m from the Arabian Peninsula but if you go to places like Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, etc even more people look “white”. They look like Greeks or Spaniards.
Musto Chase But yes politically speaking, we Middle Easterners should consider ourselves “brown”. No matter how white we could look - because we’ll never be considered truly as one.
we consider ourselves as European, we also think of ourselves as white if you ask us but we don't really think about race. it's more about Georgian ethnicity than race.
I'm Georgian, here Caucasian means Armenian, Azebaijani or Georgian. we have light or sligtly dark white skin mostly with brown eyes and hair, but there are blondes too. What do europeans have to do with the Caucasus mauntains? I'm Confused😆😆😆
Blumenbach's races were absolutely based on geography! The color names were just cultural practices of his day. His "Caucasian" race was Europeans, West Asians, some Central and South Asians and some North Africans. It didn't mean literally white skinned.
You are correct. While whites are labeled Caucasian, not all Caucasians have white skin. Caucasian is synonamous with Indo-European, since the people of Europe and India can be traced back to a common origin. However, as you go south in India, people have darker and darker skin, until it is black or near black in south India and Sri Lanka. They are, however, still Caucasian. Not that white Americans cared. In the 1930s, a man from India applied for US citizenship, and wanted his race declared as white, since he was from India, and therefore was the same race as Europeans. The US Supreme Court took one look at his very dark skin, and declared that race was not based on science, but on what white people decided.
Caucasian and Caucasoid werent the same. He conducted the caucasian race and the caucasoid skull shape, he considered ppl from middle east to be evil and uncivilized
How about we stop categorizing people by skin color, but rather and more logically their geographic origins. Cause there is something called gene variation within groups of ethnicities...
Exactly, I’m British but have just found out through a dna test that I’ve got considerable Irish, German, French and Scandinavian dna as well, most from the last 200 years.
Reasonable Speculation it’s only America and colonial nations that use color. Americans of European descent are European Americans. And yes and African Americans of sub Saharan ancestry or sub Saharan African Americans. More specifically “ Nigerian, polish, Columbian etc. If European Americans did some more culture preservation rather than antagonization it wouldn’t be a problem.
@IRISH LAD It is just a theory and problem is that you as irish wont look similar to people from the caucasus. Best classifcatiom would be northern european and south european phanotype
@@vikokkult2949 Exactly. Also, since modern human beings didn't descend from Neanderthals (they all died out before producing a sustainable bloodline and their genetic markers don't exist in modern humans), the entire theory is suspect. We may share a common ancestor with Neanderthals, but we are not descended from them -- white people, black people, Asians, Indigenous, etc. Add to that the reality that the concept of "white" and "black" people didn't exist prior to 500 years ago, the statement "whites have been white for more than 2 million years" just sounds even more like ignorant, racist nonsense.
@@candacen7779 you're also wrong race has existed for a long time, not 500 years ago but probably since the beginning of the homo sapien lifetime. 2000 years ago the the Golden white skinned Roman's knew the distinction between a black African and a white Gaul; They even met the Chinese, they weren't color blind they knew that they were of a different race than them.
diana- you shouldnt confuse "technologically advanced" with "civil", because those are 2 very different things. for example, there is nothing civil about having a very, very long history with war ;)
I remember overhearing some "woke" girl talk about how you should only use the word Caucasian because it's racist to say white. personally, I don't really care too much either way
3:44 in Germany back in the days people with disabilities (mostly Down syndrome) were called „Mongos“ which refers to their different skull form. Nowadays this word is sometimes used to refer to a person as stupid, but I haven’t heard someone saying it in years now, so it’s probably not used anymore.
Same in italy (at least north italy, veneto), "mongolo" which is the word for mongolian can be used to say stupid. But here too people don't use this word much.
Interestingly I have never heard anyone other than Americans use Caucasian as a term. And I am form Finland and for some reason there was this race theory that Finns are Mongoloids in the 19th century and for some reason I have still seen it repeated like people aren’t aware how stupid it is.
Comic Book Guy, Finnish or Finns are the words if that is what you were asking? There are poeple other than Americans speaking English and people use English even if it’s not your first language. And like this video said the person who coined the word was German so it’s not inherently English word like you stated. And that the world has not spread to other languages is another testament now little it is used since other languages these days are filled with English loan words.
Sara Samaletdin I always saw huge Asian features on people from Finland and Russia. Even in Alaska the Eskimos look Asian. Isn't this due to mogul conquest? Have you ever got a DNA test?
Finns are not mongols, its 19th century racist theory to explain why Finns were not as succesful as other white people back then, clearly Finns are not actually white according to those people. Finnic people is its own group that is not the same as Russians either. For myself I could have some connections there if I took the test since half of my family are Tatars. But Tatars are not a ethnic group really and the village where my ancestors come form was more Finnic/Russian that converted to islam hundreds of years ago as far as I am aware. But a genetic test would be still interesting and maybe there is some connections to elsewhere.
When linguists started theorizing about language families in the 19th century many thought that the Uralic family, including Finnish, was related to a larger Altaic family that included Turkish, Monoglian, and possibly Japanese and Korean. That theory has long been discredited but I'd bet that has a lot to do with idea of Finns being Mongolian.
Whites are not the only Caucasians. Middle Easterners and North Indians are also included into the Caucasian race as there are biologically only 3 humans races of Caucasian, African and Mongolid ( East & South East Asian ). Unlike what many assume, human race is scientifically defined based on differences between skull and bone structure, not the color of skin, hair and eyes as it’s subject to change overtime.
Well, I suppose we could also call brown and black people "sugarmen." Then we'd all be equal! Except the Asians I guess. But I guess it serves them right, calling my people slurs like "ghost"
Matteo Ricci wrote in his diaries when he visited China during the Ming Dynasty that the local population was "tall, white-skinned and strong". Western Europeans used to call Slavs "yellow" so you know, its not always consistent and changes to fufill racial propaganda/agenda.
That’s interesting that the races were distinguished as colors and we stopped using yellow and red because it was offensive but we still happily use black and white
I like how he used American slavery as an example of using skull size to determine race rather than the obvious example of the Nazis using it to determine whether you went to the gas chamber or not. This has no basis in fact whatsoever in determining someone a slave in American history.
As the Americans don't want to admit their European ancestry, they use that word. There's however an exception. When they talk about the misfortunes of the indigenous it usually starts with : " When the Europeans arrived...".
“Caucasian”? Yes, as has been stated before, that term is used more often in the yankee nation, not so much in other English speaking jurisdictions, where the more correct and modern term, “European”, is used.
@If you Say so It is just a established synonym whether we like it or not. Black means subsaharan african descendance and white means european descendance even if some europeans are not white and some africans not black.
Originally it was meant to mean skin color. Originally Italians, Greeks, Spanish and the Slavs were excluded from the Caucasian club. As time past and archaeology established all of the original ancient civilizations weren't white, skull features were used to place this imaginary phenotype in geographical locations white Europeans never were.
People from America will always think it’s about skin colour 🤷🏽♀️ Especially Cardi B and still talkin shit (I mention her because I saw video where girl was her makeup artist and Cardi start yell that her face is too light and she don’t want to look caucasian) People from USA usually act like they know everything bout everyone even they know nothing and act like on the planet live only white and black people forgetting that we also have olive skin tone, more pink or yellow
My origins are from Caucasus for at least 8 generations that I know of, and I have recently moved to the US. No one considers me White or Caucasian! What a twist… LOL
My people are from the northern Caucasus, we are Circassian! Thank you for clarifying this for others! If not for racism, everyone please stop using my homeland to describe your fair skin color, please. Lol
Weclome, sister! Where are you from? My real name is Murat and I from New Jersey, USA. We have a community in Wayne and I was part of the dance group the Narts Dance Ensemble.
DamienZshadow Have you tried returning to Circassia and repopulating it after the Russians genocided you? I've heard passports for Circassians are denied.
National Conservative That used to be the case during Soviet rule but the Iron Curtain has long since fallen. Our people are still struggling to get the same kind of national citizenship that Jews have through Israel as well as some kind of autonomy but that is still a far-flung goal. Many of my community members travel there every year but I have not yet gone to visit. Most of my immediate family lives in Jordan and Syria where our line of the diaspora took place but I would love to go back to our homeland. I recently got married and had a child so going on a random vacation isn't all that easy for us, especially because my wife and I manage a gymnastic school together.
Well, good luck to you. Personally if I were a Circassian, I would be eager to return. And not just to Adygea, also the lands to the south along the coastline. You can't settle for less than half your lands and no coastline.
FACT: White people are called Caucasian and European because the Greeks named them after the northern tribes of Israel crossed the Caucasus Mountains (between Black Sea and Caspian Sea) and Eurasian Plains (Ukraine) after they escaped the Assyrian Captivity between 740 and 610 BC.
"Well I used to be racist, but then the government stopped using 'caucasian' to describe white people and I realised that we're all in this together"I just can't see that happening. It's clear that people aren't talking about scientific racism when they use these words. If you want to change a racist's mind, engage with them. Think about times you changed your beliefs, and do that
The point of changing these words isn't to stop racism, it is to stop using ridiculously incorrect terms to describe history, and then misusing those already incorrect terms again. The real issue with the term caucasian is that the way it is used is very, very wrong and it would be very bad if most legal terms were scientifically inappropriate.
I think using certain common words people use to classify a person's race are still useful, such as describing a suspect by a witness to the police. Color is much easier to understand and determine than a person's nationality or ancestry! I'm from America but if I was in the U.K. and people had to give my description they wouldn't say American, they would say white! It's not racist to use a person's color or other commonly used words like, Hispanic, Asian, white, and black etc. because it's impossible to look at people from Asia and know if they are Korean, Chinese, Japanese, etc... and with Black, how would you know if they descended from Nigeria, Kenya, or Cameroon? I'm "white" but my Family descended from Britain, Scotland, France, Ireland, and Finland. I think " Latino" or "Hispanic" is ok because you can't tell if they are from Honduras, Mexico, Guatemala or Columbia, etc Some people describe people of my heritage as White Anglo Saxon, So for me, white is the more general physical descriptor and Anglo Saxon would apply to me and my family's original Nationality. Just a thought!
"because it's impossible to look at people from Asia and know if they are Korean, Chinese, Japanese,". Some people would call you racist for saying that as it's almost the same as saying "they all look the same to me". People are entirely too sensitive about it, though. It is true that most Americans and Europeans couldn't tell which of those countries some with mongoloid features came from, because they have not grown up there. It is also true that people who did grow up there would be able to look at someone and say they if are from Korea or Japan or China. Same deal with the African countries.
Matt Ermat they do look the same to the blind, untrained and non educated eye, just like europeans and americans, and basically all sub saharan african countries. The difference is rarely noticeable for someone not knowing what to look for.

I guess it doesn't really have to disappear, despite the original purpose. We should just keep using it in not harmful ways, as it being just a name to call collectively the kinda-pink people
I agree, we give words meaning. If we don't give it any meaning it's just a sequence of varied sounds. We can attribute whatever meaning to those sounds rather it is harmful or benign. What it meant 200 years ago is not the same as today.
Flames Of Chaos Nope, cause that's retarted. There are obviously latinos who are whiter than middle easterners and middle easterners who are whiter than Latinos.
You missed a slight detail, the Somalis and other ethnic groups in the horn of Africa were labelled under Caucasoid, due to their nose shape and hair texture being vastly different to sub Saharan Africans. Even till this day there is a debate on if they are considered Black with their straight noses and wavy hair.
anonymous of course they have no relation to the Europeans, the reason they were called that is because there was no other category. Also Somalis do have much different hair than the rest of sub Sahara
Lily marsie Looking arab doesn’t make you arab... a few non ethnic somalis have arab / Portuguese and bantu in them but ethnic Somalis do not. Unless ur closer to the coast or from north somalia but the majority do not
They were around, but they wern't the same as we are today. Everyone evolves. People who left Africa evolved, and people who stayed in Africa also continued to evolve. The idea that there is a parent group that stays the same while various sub groups evolve out of it is a myth. That's true of humans and apes as well - we are not evolved from chimps, we are evolved from a common ancestor of humans and chimps, but that common ancestor was not a chimp like we see today. Chimps' ancestors didn't magically stop evolving the minute they separated from the ancestors of humans.
3:40 africa use to be called ethiopia and black was generically applied to anyone with brown skin and indigenous to lands outside of africa and aethiopia was used to describe non african dark skin people aswell
mike askme I wonder the same. I'm black and Hispanic and I am light brown. I think it has something to with how when Europe went to Africa and enslaved Africans, they must've had very dark skin and thus labeled them as black. Im not sure though. That is my theory
Actually we are all Africans with common African ancestors about 200,000 years ago. White skin only evolved a few thousand years ago after farming came to Europe. With a less varied diet the people had less vitamin D in their food and since Europe was at a high latitude the selective pressure was for less melamine in the skin making it white. The people in the middle east where farming started did not have the vitamin D problem being closer to the equator and as a result they are the same colour as Europeans would have been before agriculture.
@@garimachhikara9574 We have better ideas today how humans evolved. Spreading out from Africa. The greatest DNA diversity is today found in Africa. There is more human DNA diversity in Africa than in the rest of the world put together.
As an Asian, I am amazed, the European race is spread everywhere, they established new European countries in East Asia (Russia), South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States, Mexico and other South American countries, not only the land but also the oceans belong to them, I did not expect that the neighboring country of Guam, the neighboring country of the southeast Asia,is part of the United States,amazing europe stranded in southeast asia region.Europe is the ruler of the corners of the universe.
Kacper Włoch: I’ve never heard the term Hispanic used just to describe people of Spain which is where I lived for two years. Spaniards are European and white. Hispanic is used to describe those on the American continent who are a mix of Spanish and either black or Native American ancestry.
The term hispanic is used to describe someone from a Spanish (or portuguese) speaking country/backgorund - this means that an Argentinian of German or Welsh ancestry would be conside Hispanic or more accuretly White Hispanic.
Hispanic is sometimes wrongly mistaken as a race, its not, its just a language type. If you speak native spanish, you are hispanic. Even if you are White or Black. A Spaniard is definitely Hispanic, but his race is white.
...but as I said, "hispanic" is used to refer to people in the U.S. or Latin America of Spanish descent, not Spaniards in Spain so much, so often it is those of mixed race (black, Native American, etc.) as from Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, etc.: Hispanic |hiˈspanik| adjective of or relating to Spain or to Spanish-speaking countries, *esp. those of Latin America.* • of or relating to Spanish-speaking people or their culture, *esp. in the U.S.* noun a Spanish-speaking person *living in the U.S., esp. one of Latin American descent.*

@@khmatjshmid1591 even if they did, it would be stupid to call them caucasian. Should we start calling every white person african just because all of humanity originated in africa? Hell no!
Meh I think its overkill to say that by calling ourselves caucasian we say its racist towards others or anything like that.I mean 99% of people probably never knew this and may never know it, and they use it to describe a skin color.Nothing more,nothing less.
Dragon Dimosthenis: Indians are caucasian racially. The caucasian race is defined not on skin colour, but on skull shape (just as the other two races are). People get all hung up on skin colour, but it's not the defining feature of a race.
i disagree i think its important to look at history because it still affects us in myriad ways today and even tho most people don't know the etymology of the term caucasian the ideas on race developed by blumenbach informed the racist policy and genocide of many governments for hundreds of years and still perpetuates racist ideas today (see comments section).
3:46 Ethiopian means burnt face. Literally. Its from way back, +400BC Greece. Greek: Aithiops = aitho "I burn" + ops "face" Or it means red-brown when used as an adjective. AFAIK The country wasn't called that until after WW2-ish, before it was Abyssinia.
I'll never understand how people can be so diverse, I mean seriously? Afro-Caribbean, Indian, and French? It's hard to imagine. I'm 100% Albanian tho, that's about it.
I have only heard the term Caucasian in the US. I was even asked to tick the corresponding "race" box in forms, something that I found vaguely sinister as, to my European sensitivity, it was reminiscent of Nazi ideology. I just wanted to state "Human" although they kept on insisting at the airport that I queue up in the line labeled "Alien". All the others in said queue resembled earthlings. The US is definitely a strange country.
While many of his ideas are outdated or bordering on racist, it is funny that he picked the skulls from the region of Georgia as his ideal. Some people who are studying the theory of Proto-Indo-European think it is that very area where the ancestors of all the Indo-European groups started.
The Kurgan hypothesis is the conesus which states PIE came from the steppes north of the Caucasus not within it. Furthermore, indigenous Europeans like the Basque likely. evolved skin already before the minority group of PIE speakers spread.their language/culture. It was not an genetic migration/invasion but a cultural one.
A lot of Caucasians do not speak an Indo European language, and it is not very academically agreed upon, but the Caucasus region still had a role in influencing the original Indo Europeans.
I have a Sociology degree and one of the classes I took was a race relation class and one thing I learned in that class was not just the history of the word Caucasian but an explanation why it's a racist term. Apparently that guys that the people of the Caucus region were the most beautiful or something, so he coined the term to mean white people. So it's racist and conceited. I noticed in a lot of liberal academic spaces they will use the term white in speech or on official paper work instead of Caucasian so perhaps it's phasing out.
Caucasian is not a racist term it means Eurasian. White means Anglo Saxon and to use Anglo Saxon is more racist as it’s Anglo centric and non inclusive to Mediterranean peoples.

Or red haired and blue eyed. Have such relatives in the villages. They look more Irish than the Irish themselves
not all Dagestanis ethnic Caucasians, many Turks and others
The whitest people in the Caucasus are the Chechens, the Circassians are the descendants of the Hutts, these are the Middle Eastern people, and the Chechens are the Caucasians, the people who originated in the Caucasus, all the rest have mostly dark skin color, black hair, since they are of Turkic or Persian origin

Hi Whitey!😂😂😂
Caucasian makes sense when used to describe people from the Caucasus. It's a shame so many people are oblivious of this region, because it's culturally fascinating. E.g., Georgian writing and folk music is absolutely beautiful. A unique culture at the intersection of Europe, Russia and the Middle East. They managed to preserve their culture and language despite being surrounded by empires.
I never knew it existed until yesterday. I always thought there was only 1 Georgia (use) but now I know Georgia is also a country. I never heard of it.
the fact about georgia living on the mountains and that they have a distinct alphabet really drive the point that j.r.r. tolkien based the elves on georgian culture
You do know that Caucasus original and Caucasian mixtures came later Georgians? or Judeans or Babylonians and Turks who came from north Africa what makes that area called turkey today ! Turks came from west India or china one or the two .
Most of the real Caucasus people moved out of the area in the 1600s or before moved to England lol

Why did people leave Ephesus?
In the sixth and seventh centuries A.D., a massive earthquake and the harbour's continuing decline left Ephesus a shell of the city it used to be, and Arab invasions forced most of the population of Ephesus to flee and start a new settlement.
and most of them were Armenian what's called Georgia today
As someone from Georgia it is hard sometimes to explain my race or where im from (especially to people who think that im from USA state) so every time i have to say "no im a real caucasian" when it comes to race (thus explaining that im not slavic or middle eastern). So yeah, if the western countries would get rid of that term for defining a "white person" that would be great.

@@dom_xi-dzopa720 Black. Actually let me digress......'black' comes from the old English term 'blæc' which is of German origin (no surprise there), they also say it comes from the Proto-Germanic word 'blakaz' which they say means burnt. But the Proto-Indo-European word 'bhleg' has another meaning which is 'shine, to shine', cognate with old Saxon (old English) 'blac'. This were it gets interesting because its a auto' antonym meaning both 'white 'bright' or 'pale' and also 'dark' or 'black' as we know the word today. Which is why many Caucasians have the surnames 'Blake, Blakeman, Blackman, Blakemere because the word 'blake' also means 'bright' 'shining' or 'pale', as well as 'dark' and 'black' but saying the word black is like saying blake means blake. The thing is, black people were never called black in those times, black people were called Moor, which is why you have the names 'Blakemoor/Blakemore,' and 'Blackmoor/Blackmore'. Another example of role reverse. Caucasians gradually changed the identity of what you know as Negroes into the word 'black' which is what 'white' people used to be called. All part of Operation Whitewash, whitewashing goes way much deeper (I mean DEEP) than what people believe, its whether people still want to be (or live) in denial and not just be real with themselves and accept the truth.
@@dom_xi-dzopa720 'Bleach' (bleak) is known to 'become light, to lighten/whiten, to brighten. Origins of the word 'bleak' - Old Norse 'bleikr' and Middle English 'bleik' - Old English 'blæc, blāec, blaec/blaecan' (K and C have been known to be interchangeable throughout the centuries). History can also be discovered and traced through language, linguistics, etymology.

I absolutely can not agree with your sentences. First of all there aren't any races without a culture. But if there would be an opportunity of calling a race "cultureless", I definitely wouldn't call the whites in that way.

Miguk Moonpark that's archaic. The five anthropological race classifications which were covered in this video are deemed as inaccurate by the UN a long time back.
Iranians and indians hail from the indo-european group (it's also in their names, with indians separating into the indo-aryan subgroup and the iranians into the indo-iranians), Arabs ,however, are semitic, and hail from another historical subgroup, from the major afro-asiatic group
Eratos de Mileto What is a specie then?
Btw Actual Caucasian DNA from the mountains is much more dominant in the middle East then in Europe as place like Kurdistan,Iran,Iraq or Turkey have very high precetages from their paternal DNA from the Caucasus,take this as opposed the only Place that have significant Caucasian DNA in Europe is Southern Russia or the various Turkic peoples North West of the Caspian.Intersting thing to add is that under various folk stories and entirely different culture all around the Middle East and steppe people in Euroasian Steppes,all believed that Caucasus is the place of great importance(For example the mountains feed some of the rivers and were consider as source of life to the people of the steppes and farm in Middle East)Many nation in Middle east having their own story of a massive flood under Jewish version atleast it was in The Caucasus that Noah lived and restarted Humanity.
and Jews too (although arguably)
Very interestic!I am German and I was always very cofused when I saw American doccumentaries and it they use the word "Caucasian"for the white population.I always want to know where that term had its origins.Thank you very much for explaining it!I subscribed to your channel.👏🏻

Why would you say that?
You're 80 years late to the party, bro

White means Anglo Saxon in the US and Caucasian means w Eurasian. White is very subjective in the US and parts of Europe do not even use White like southern Europe.
Why arent they called european american?, why are people with ancestors deriving from africa labeled as african american? In these terms, americans are exclusively the natives who were here before the europeans and africans were introduced, am i right or can someone correct me, not trying to cause a conflict, just trying to understand
... and the ancestors of the natives came from Asia. The ancestors of the Asians came from Africa. The ancestors of the Europeans came from Africa, too. On the way to Europe they might hace interbred with Neanderthals in the Caucasus. A memory they are very fond of, hence the name.
LeFred Files I'm not American and I always wondered about that
We call our self African Americans because our ancestors are from Africa and we were born here since slavery so we call our self African American we been using the term since the 1920 and it just stock why do everybody always worry about what we do and how we do things 🤔 always wondered that
King Malibu Don't be a racist dick cause someone asked a question geez
King Malibu What sarcastic stupid question...its a reasonable question why are White Americans not called Europeans americans if Africans are called African Americans. It might make sense to you but not for people outside of America.Its not white people wondering about black people like you said. It's people from other countries trying to understand American terms...
Is it really hard for them to call themselves Europeans
Elias Frahat seems like historically, Americans don’t want to be called Europeans. They left it and feel America is superior
europe is the 51st state
They should be called European American
Toaster-800 good answer my friend
There's no group of peoples in Europe that is originally from Europe... The most close that it gets is "Indo-European" and since the "Indo" part is long gone for the most part, "Caucasian" is a good point of reference, by history, culture, tradition, genetics movements throughout the land, etc.
The exception could be the Basque Country, but it's a discussed topic.
In The Netherlands people use Mongolian or as we Dutch say it "Mongool" as curse word. But we associate the word "mongool" with people who have down syndrome.
Languages are so strange!
That has origins in the Mongolian invasions of Europe in the Middle Ages. A good book for information would be "Genghis Khan and the making of the modern world", by Jack Weatherford. It's also really entertaning!
The word exists in the English language as well. "Mongoloid", and it refers to a particular skull shape, caused by certain illnesses. Also used quite freqvent as an insult

Mongolians were actually a red headed blue eyed race based on historical, folk data. But, people that worship mainstream communist education draw a link between whites and blacks. The theory, which was developed by Darwin (Catholic Church) states that every race on the planet came from the black African continent. Now, I'm so sure about that. For obvious reasons. Like the lack of reasoning.
@@davidsawyer219 aren't Mongolians like Chinese people?
@@Hyden21 No, the Jews that were massacred control a lot of information and media. Ghangus Khan and Adolf Hitler are the most under-represented individuals in history. Khan controlled the Silk Road through Mongolian territory and to a large extent into China and Russia. The story of why the Jews dont like Khan and represent him as some murderous warlord is because he was responsible for the death of 250,000 eastern European Jews. Basically, Khan sent a courier with a letter of negotiation and peace addressed to the Jews in what's now called Eastern Europe but was called the Kzarian Empire. The Jews sent back his courier with his head chopped off. Well after that he lead his army in revenge and killed 250k+ KZAR Jews!!! This is why Ghangus Khan is see as such a warlord because he, like Hitler challenged the Jew.
"In English" - I think you mean in America. I mostly only hear "white" in Britain.

Clearly these people vary in color from white to brown.

Some Middle Easterners could pass as ‘white’ as well, but they are a minority.
Ahmad Alibrahim if they pass as white they have European lineage otherwise WE Middle easterners are naturally Brown. NOT white.

Not really. I’m Arab and have family members with pale skin, literally super white & light brown hair color (and we do not have European heritage)
It happens, but it’s rare. & I’m from the Arabian Peninsula but if you go to places like Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, etc even more people look “white”. They look like Greeks or Spaniards.

we consider ourselves as European, we also think of ourselves as white if you ask us but we don't really think about race. it's more about Georgian ethnicity than race.

When I was Young I always thought Caucasians was a type of Asian race.
The Caucasus region is partly in Europe and partly in Asia, so you aren't wrong nor right!
the caucasus is not a part of europe geographically but people from there have eurasian appearances yes
Blumenbach's races were absolutely based on geography! The color names were just cultural practices of his day. His "Caucasian" race was Europeans, West Asians, some Central and South Asians and some North Africans. It didn't mean literally white skinned.
You are correct. While whites are labeled Caucasian, not all Caucasians have white skin. Caucasian is synonamous with Indo-European, since the people of Europe and India can be traced back to a common origin. However, as you go south in India, people have darker and darker skin, until it is black or near black in south India and Sri Lanka. They are, however, still Caucasian. Not that white Americans cared. In the 1930s, a man from India applied for US citizenship, and wanted his race declared as white, since he was from India, and therefore was the same race as Europeans. The US Supreme Court took one look at his very dark skin, and declared that race was not based on science, but on what white people decided.

How about we stop categorizing people by skin color, but rather and more logically their geographic origins. Cause there is something called gene variation within groups of ethnicities...
Exactly, I’m British but have just found out through a dna test that I’ve got considerable Irish, German, French and Scandinavian dna as well, most from the last 200 years.
So we should call Whites - Euros? ,...… and Blacks - Sub Saharans?
Reasonable Speculation it’s only America and colonial nations that use color. Americans of European descent are European Americans. And yes and African Americans of sub Saharan ancestry or sub Saharan African Americans. More specifically “ Nigerian, polish, Columbian etc. If European Americans did some more culture preservation rather than antagonization it wouldn’t be a problem.
"Caucasian" is just an US - thing
@IRISH LAD It is just a theory and problem is that you as irish wont look similar to people from the caucasus. Best classifcatiom would be northern european and south european phanotype
@@vikokkult2949 Exactly. Also, since modern human beings didn't descend from Neanderthals (they all died out before producing a sustainable bloodline and their genetic markers don't exist in modern humans), the entire theory is suspect. We may share a common ancestor with Neanderthals, but we are not descended from them -- white people, black people, Asians, Indigenous, etc. Add to that the reality that the concept of "white" and "black" people didn't exist prior to 500 years ago, the statement "whites have been white for more than 2 million years" just sounds even more like ignorant, racist nonsense.
No. It's not.
@IRISH LAD Thats not what the out of africa theory is.
@@candacen7779 you're also wrong race has existed for a long time, not 500 years ago but probably since the beginning of the homo sapien lifetime. 2000 years ago the the Golden white skinned Roman's knew the distinction between a black African and a white Gaul; They even met the Chinese, they weren't color blind they knew that they were of a different race than them.

64imma WTF? Bet she thinks it’s racist to say “Black”
Please slap her on my behalf of all Caucasians.Thank you
My paper is Caucasian
If it's racist to say "white" it's also racist to say "caucasian". Fact is, you shouldn't categorise people based on how they look.
3:44 in Germany back in the days people with disabilities (mostly Down syndrome) were called „Mongos“ which refers to their different skull form. Nowadays this word is sometimes used to refer to a person as stupid, but I haven’t heard someone saying it in years now, so it’s probably not used anymore.
Same in italy (at least north italy, veneto), "mongolo" which is the word for mongolian can be used to say stupid. But here too people don't use this word much.
Interestingly I have never heard anyone other than Americans use Caucasian as a term. And I am form Finland and for some reason there was this race theory that Finns are Mongoloids in the 19th century and for some reason I have still seen it repeated like people aren’t aware how stupid it is.
Comic Book Guy, Finnish or Finns are the words if that is what you were asking? There are poeple other than Americans speaking English and people use English even if it’s not your first language. And like this video said the person who coined the word was German so it’s not inherently English word like you stated. And that the world has not spread to other languages is another testament now little it is used since other languages these days are filled with English loan words.
Sara Samaletdin I always saw huge Asian features on people from Finland and Russia. Even in Alaska the Eskimos look Asian.
Isn't this due to mogul conquest? Have you ever got a DNA test?
Comic Book Guy Yeah just like the Poles aren't actual poles. 2 more examples Brits and Swedes. It is correct to call the Finnish people Finns.
Finns are not mongols, its 19th century racist theory to explain why Finns were not as succesful as other white people back then, clearly Finns are not actually white according to those people. Finnic people is its own group that is not the same as Russians either.
For myself I could have some connections there if I took the test since half of my family are Tatars. But Tatars are not a ethnic group really and the village where my ancestors come form was more Finnic/Russian that converted to islam hundreds of years ago as far as I am aware. But a genetic test would be still interesting and maybe there is some connections to elsewhere.
When linguists started theorizing about language families in the 19th century many thought that the Uralic family, including Finnish, was related to a larger Altaic family that included Turkish, Monoglian, and possibly Japanese and Korean. That theory has long been discredited but I'd bet that has a lot to do with idea of Finns being Mongolian.
Whites are not the only Caucasians. Middle Easterners and North Indians are also included into the Caucasian race as there are biologically only 3 humans races of Caucasian, African and Mongolid ( East & South East Asian ). Unlike what many assume, human race is scientifically defined based on differences between skull and bone structure, not the color of skin, hair and eyes as it’s subject to change overtime.
If we do get rid of caucasian, I'd like to suggest "ghost people" or "sugarmen"
Well, I suppose we could also call brown and black people "sugarmen." Then we'd all be equal! Except the Asians I guess. But I guess it serves them right, calling my people slurs like "ghost"
I never really got the whole "yellow" thing myself.
There is such a thing as yellow sugar btw
Matteo Ricci wrote in his diaries when he visited China during the Ming Dynasty that the local population was "tall, white-skinned and strong". Western Europeans used to call Slavs "yellow" so you know, its not always consistent and changes to fufill racial propaganda/agenda.
Gotis or snow people
That’s interesting that the races were distinguished as colors and we stopped using yellow and red because it was offensive but we still happily use black and white
I like how he used American slavery as an example of using skull size to determine race rather than the obvious example of the Nazis using it to determine whether you went to the gas chamber or not. This has no basis in fact whatsoever in determining someone a slave in American history.
As the Americans don't want to admit their European ancestry, they use that word.
There's however an exception. When they talk about the misfortunes of the indigenous it usually starts with : " When the Europeans arrived...".
Caucasian, by most modern definitions, means of white-skinned European descent
“Caucasian”?
Yes, as has been stated before, that term is used more often in the yankee nation, not so much in other English speaking jurisdictions, where the more correct and modern term, “European”, is used.
The correct term would be indo european
@@thiagoeduardo4421 indo european include darker phanotype like orientals and indians who most people would not consider to be white
@If you Say so It is just a established synonym whether we like it or not. Black means subsaharan african descendance and white means european descendance even if some europeans are not white and some africans not black.

@@vikokkult2949 according to dna study. North europ is also of migrant siberian people origin.
They aren't. Caucasian refers to a skull shape, not a skin colour.
Originally it was meant to mean skin color. Originally Italians, Greeks, Spanish and the Slavs were excluded from the Caucasian club. As time past and archaeology established all of the original ancient civilizations weren't white, skull features were used to place this imaginary phenotype in geographical locations white Europeans never were.

National Conservative That used to be the case during Soviet rule but the Iron Curtain has long since fallen. Our people are still struggling to get the same kind of national citizenship that Jews have through Israel as well as some kind of autonomy but that is still a far-flung goal.
Many of my community members travel there every year but I have not yet gone to visit. Most of my immediate family lives in Jordan and Syria where our line of the diaspora took place but I would love to go back to our homeland. I recently got married and had a child so going on a random vacation isn't all that easy for us, especially because my wife and I manage a gymnastic school together.
Well, good luck to you. Personally if I were a Circassian, I would be eager to return. And not just to Adygea, also the lands to the south along the coastline. You can't settle for less than half your lands and no coastline.

Marco Mark Productions they are Caucasian. Please read a book.
FACT: White people are called Caucasian and European because the Greeks named them after the northern tribes of Israel crossed the Caucasus Mountains (between Black Sea and Caspian Sea) and Eurasian Plains (Ukraine) after they escaped the Assyrian Captivity between 740 and 610 BC.
The fact that you need to say "and that is not OK" about slavery tells me this is a recent video...
"Well I used to be racist, but then the government stopped using 'caucasian' to describe white people and I realised that we're all in this together"I just can't see that happening. It's clear that people aren't talking about scientific racism when they use these words. If you want to change a racist's mind, engage with them. Think about times you changed your beliefs, and do that
The point of changing these words isn't to stop racism, it is to stop using ridiculously incorrect terms to describe history, and then misusing those already incorrect terms again. The real issue with the term caucasian is that the way it is used is very, very wrong and it would be very bad if most legal terms were scientifically inappropriate.
Black people are referred to as Ethiopes in Ancient Greek and Roman text. Ethiope was used before the term Black.

I think using certain common words people use to classify a person's race are still useful, such as describing a suspect by a witness to the police. Color is much easier to understand and determine than a person's nationality or ancestry! I'm from America but if I was in the U.K. and people had to give my description they wouldn't say American, they would say white!
It's not racist to use a person's color or other commonly used words like, Hispanic, Asian, white, and black etc. because it's impossible to look at people from Asia and know if they are Korean, Chinese, Japanese, etc... and with Black, how would you know if they descended from Nigeria, Kenya, or Cameroon? I'm "white" but my Family descended from Britain, Scotland, France, Ireland, and Finland. I think " Latino" or "Hispanic" is ok because you can't tell if they are from Honduras, Mexico, Guatemala or Columbia, etc
Some people describe people of my heritage as White Anglo Saxon, So for me, white is the more general physical descriptor and Anglo Saxon would apply to me and my family's original Nationality. Just a thought!
"because it's impossible to look at people from Asia and know if they are Korean, Chinese, Japanese,". Some people would call you racist for saying that as it's almost the same as saying "they all look the same to me".
People are entirely too sensitive about it, though.
It is true that most Americans and Europeans couldn't tell which of those countries some with mongoloid features came from, because they have not grown up there. It is also true that people who did grow up there would be able to look at someone and say they if are from Korea or Japan or China. Same deal with the African countries.
Matt Ermat they do look the same to the blind, untrained and non educated eye, just like europeans and americans, and basically all sub saharan african countries.
The difference is rarely noticeable for someone not knowing what to look for.

I guess it doesn't really have to disappear, despite the original purpose. We should just keep using it in not harmful ways, as it being just a name to call collectively the kinda-pink people
I agree, we give words meaning. If we don't give it any meaning it's just a sequence of varied sounds. We can attribute whatever meaning to those sounds rather it is harmful or benign. What it meant 200 years ago is not the same as today.
Then what do we call people from the Caucasus? Surely, calling both caucasian would get confusing.

You missed a slight detail, the Somalis and other ethnic groups in the horn of Africa were labelled under Caucasoid, due to their nose shape and hair texture being vastly different to sub Saharan Africans. Even till this day there is a debate on if they are considered Black with their straight noses and wavy hair.
anonymous of course they have no relation to the Europeans, the reason they were called that is because there was no other category. Also Somalis do have much different hair than the rest of sub Sahara
yas then why does it always show up on their DNA test with out anyone knowing their race?? Because some of them look Arab.
Lily marsie Looking arab doesn’t make you arab... a few non ethnic somalis have arab / Portuguese and bantu in them but ethnic Somalis do not. Unless ur closer to the coast or from north somalia but the majority do not
yas oh ok!
They were around, but they wern't the same as we are today. Everyone evolves. People who left Africa evolved, and people who stayed in Africa also continued to evolve. The idea that there is a parent group that stays the same while various sub groups evolve out of it is a myth. That's true of humans and apes as well - we are not evolved from chimps, we are evolved from a common ancestor of humans and chimps, but that common ancestor was not a chimp like we see today. Chimps' ancestors didn't magically stop evolving the minute they separated from the ancestors of humans.
3:40 africa use to be called ethiopia and black was generically applied to anyone with brown skin and indigenous to lands outside of africa and aethiopia was used to describe non african dark skin people aswell

False? What?
Do you have your own theory how race originate??
We still don't know how human race emerged.
And moreover what's wrong with Caucasian
Actually we are all Africans with common African ancestors about 200,000 years ago. White skin only evolved a few thousand years ago after farming came to Europe. With a less varied diet the people had less vitamin D in their food and since Europe was at a high latitude the selective pressure was for less melamine in the skin making it white. The people in the middle east where farming started did not have the vitamin D problem being closer to the equator and as a result they are the same colour as Europeans would have been before agriculture.
@@garimachhikara9574 We have better ideas today how humans evolved. Spreading out from Africa. The greatest DNA diversity is today found in Africa. There is more human DNA diversity in Africa than in the rest of the world put together.
As an Asian, I am amazed, the European race is spread everywhere, they established new European countries in East Asia (Russia), South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States, Mexico and other South American countries, not only the land but also the oceans belong to them, I did not expect that the neighboring country of Guam, the neighboring country of the southeast Asia,is part of the United States,amazing europe stranded in southeast asia region.Europe is the ruler of the corners of the universe.
I hoped you mention the fact that hispanic people are not considered caucasian in the US. Try to explain this concept to the people of Spain.
Kacper Włoch: I’ve never heard the term Hispanic used just to describe people of Spain which is where I lived for two years. Spaniards are European and white. Hispanic is used to describe those on the American continent who are a mix of Spanish and either black or Native American ancestry.
The term hispanic is used to describe someone from a Spanish (or portuguese) speaking country/backgorund - this means that an Argentinian of German or Welsh ancestry would be conside Hispanic or more accuretly White Hispanic.
Hispanic is sometimes wrongly mistaken as a race, its not, its just a language type.
If you speak native spanish, you are hispanic. Even if you are White or Black.
A Spaniard is definitely Hispanic, but his race is white.
...but as I said, "hispanic" is used to refer to people in the U.S. or Latin America of Spanish descent, not Spaniards in Spain so much, so often it is those of mixed race (black, Native American, etc.) as from Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, etc.:

Actually caucasian is the name of the mountains that white people originated from. You can actually find old texts engraved up in the mountains to support that

Beaumont Brit of you're interested just look up Causus mountains in relation to the bible and Quran
Whites are not Arya. It's historically been only used by Hindus and Europeans who are a mixture of many genetically diverse races aren't Arya. Read "From the Caves and Jungles of Hindostan " authored by Helena blavatsky , it's available online. She was the first person of foreign descent who used the term Arya and she referred to Indian men. Yes only indian. You can Google search the book name and read the book online.

Skin color changes with atmosphere over time. Skin color is not race but lineage is
.......... ........................................
People of India, at least the three communities called Brahmins, kshatriya and vaishya are lineage based races. We are a race in true sense, skin color changes with change in atmosphere and geography , lineage is what truly is a race.
.......
The founders of our race are called "Saptarishi" , "Parshuram", "Devapi" - Google search these terms and read about them for knowing the real history of us aryas.
I freaking love being beige and having adaptative melanin, when the sun's out my skin gets tanned and when there's no sun my skin gets more light to absord vitamin D better.
I would hate having non adapative melanin, imagine being in norway and being black, you literally would have to rely on supplements to not develop a vitamin D deficiency and die.

Caucasian = originating in the Caucasus mountains. Saved you 5 minutes
whitw ppl didn’t originate rhere
@@khmatjshmid1591 even if they did, it would be stupid to call them caucasian. Should we start calling every white person african just because all of humanity originated in africa? Hell no!
Instead of Caucasian, what should we use in its place?
Obviously white
@@пропалаа IDK, I always found the phrase "white people" and "black people" somewhat derogatory.
@@robobrain10000 same but there isnt anything else to call them so
Use Europeoid, someone with European ancestry, Caucasus mountains are also in Europe.
Meh I think its overkill to say that by calling ourselves caucasian we say its racist towards others or anything like that.I mean 99% of people probably never knew this and may never know it, and they use it to describe a skin color.Nothing more,nothing less.
Dragon Dimosthenis ahh the show vegena race, quit a bad one indeed.
You still don't get it do you?
Everything is racist if you are white.
Even the existance of white people is considered racist.
BeglarricA MA yep. Racism aply only for whites. They try so much to diminish the white race
Dragon Dimosthenis: Indians are caucasian racially. The caucasian race is defined not on skin colour, but on skull shape (just as the other two races are). People get all hung up on skin colour, but it's not the defining feature of a race.
i disagree i think its important to look at history because it still affects us in myriad ways today and even tho most people don't know the etymology of the term caucasian the ideas on race developed by blumenbach informed the racist policy and genocide of many governments for hundreds of years and still perpetuates racist ideas today (see comments section).
3:46 Ethiopian means burnt face. Literally. Its from way back, +400BC Greece.
Greek: Aithiops = aitho "I burn" + ops "face"
Or it means red-brown when used as an adjective.
AFAIK The country wasn't called that until after WW2-ish, before it was Abyssinia.
A prime example of a term that was supposed to be PC but is truly no more PC than the term it's meant to replace
What are you guys mixed with? It would be interesting to know and learn about it. I'm Afro-Caribbean, Indian, and French. But that's all I know lol.
I'll never understand how people can be so diverse, I mean seriously? Afro-Caribbean, Indian, and French? It's hard to imagine. I'm 100% Albanian tho, that's about it.
I have only heard the term Caucasian in the US. I was even asked to tick the corresponding "race" box in forms, something that I found vaguely sinister as, to my European sensitivity, it was reminiscent of Nazi ideology. I just wanted to state "Human" although they kept on insisting at the airport that I queue up in the line labeled "Alien". All the others in said queue resembled earthlings. The US is definitely a strange country.

Jesus was black. The original song went "whose feet was black as coal" matching the scriptures in revelation 1:14-15.

While many of his ideas are outdated or bordering on racist, it is funny that he picked the skulls from the region of Georgia as his ideal. Some people who are studying the theory of Proto-Indo-European think it is that very area where the ancestors of all the Indo-European groups started.
No, a bit north, on the steppe, based on the common vocabulary. Same general region of the world but very different terrain and people.
The Kurgan hypothesis is the conesus which states PIE came from the steppes north of the Caucasus not within it.
Furthermore, indigenous Europeans like the Basque likely.
evolved skin already before the minority group of PIE speakers spread.their language/culture.
It was not an genetic migration/invasion but a cultural one.
A lot of Caucasians do not speak an Indo European language, and it is not very academically agreed upon, but the Caucasus region still had a role in influencing the original Indo Europeans.
I have a Sociology degree and one of the classes I took was a race relation class and one thing I learned in that class was not just the history of the word Caucasian but an explanation why it's a racist term. Apparently that guys that the people of the Caucus region were the most beautiful or something, so he coined the term to mean white people. So it's racist and conceited. I noticed in a lot of liberal academic spaces they will use the term white in speech or on official paper work instead of Caucasian so perhaps it's phasing out.
Caucasian is not a racist term it means Eurasian. White means Anglo Saxon and to use Anglo Saxon is more racist as it’s Anglo centric and non inclusive to Mediterranean peoples.
White includes Mediterranean people too, nowadays. My father is from Greece and he's never been seen as anything other than white.

White Person: I'm Caucasian
His Acquaintance: Are you from Georgia or something?
White Person: Yes.
I'm Georgian, he says our skulls are perfect? I guess so, because Georgian women and men are one of the most beautiful on the world
nah honey
the root of the term caucasian has nothing to do with people living in this region. see khazarian jews
@@vodkaalcoholfree8145 yes hunny Georgian women are the most beautiful
That was a sensitive topic and you handled it brilliantly. Great content.
The difference from Caucasus and Caucasian one is not Asian the other is a mix of that and Asian
Just like Christ and Herod are not the same thing lol let that sink in lol
I am not Caucasian, I am Uralic.
You are a mongiloid
