Other Words from Caucasian Caucasian vs. According to his classification, the caucasian race encompassed the native populations of Europe, the aboriginal inhabitants of West Asia, the autochthones of Northern Africa, and Indians.
Anthropologist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach took racial classification further and divided humans into five races based on skin color — Caucasian the "white race" , Mongoloid the "yellow race" , Malayan the "brown race" , Ethiopian the "black race" , and American the "red race". Blumenbach tried to justify his classification with scientific terminology, cranial measurements, and facial features.
Caucasoid traits he noted were:. Caucasians are not always white; skin color amongst Caucasians varies widely — from pale, reddish-white, olive, or even dark brown tones. Hair color and texture varies too, with wavy hair the most common. The Naturalization Act of stipulated that only "free white persons" and "aliens of African nativity and persons of African descent" were allowed by law to become U.
Both are used to denote a race. However, only one is considered correct nowadays. The correct word is white, while caucasian is generally avoided because of its vagueness. White is the color of the skin, which also denotes a race while caucasian has a much more complicated definition that makes it quite antiquated.
The caucasian race is an outdated way to group humans according to the color of their skin. In the past, it was used to group people by biology and group them according to their historical race classification.
That is how it works. Civilizations will always be rising a falling. There is an end to everything. You keep believing humans descended from apes and all humans came from the Africa theory b. Humans originated in Africa is a theory without enough evidence, and not a fact.
I believe on the bible, but respect science, but Darwin theories are not proven facts but are respected as such as theories only. Too say whites are smarter, only their way of stealing land and culture. Karma is coming to bite you, as you will become the minority soon. Evil can not prevail forever. Enjoy your white privilege while you can.
Tori, you are wrong on every level. The white race is responsible for virtually every Godly thing on Earth. Sin is rampant within all humanity. Sin is the issue not race. But do not deny the obvious, that European whites created what we all appreciate today. If you are any other coloring you are caucasian.
And like most introduced species, and feral animals, with an abundance of food and resources incl. How do explain formerly German East Africa? How do explain Belgium in the Congo? Which is not TRUE.
You have a lot of fear in you. Fact is we are no our race, nor is our race who we are. Race is am, is racism. I am not my race! I am saved, or I am lost. Just as all are, or are not.
A simple Am I is the alternative. Such as I am is my race, which is am. No only one I Am exist! I am happy blessed I am saved, or I am no at all.
A am I is all I will be, while lost to who I am meant to be, and should be. Which applies to all humans regardless of race, culture, nation, religion, and so on… I Am in The Way I am saved or I am not at all… The Way it should be, and is meant to be.
A am I not saved is lost. Think of the children! They are not their race. It is the truth that sets all free from any am I in question. Am I male or female is not a choice. Lost or saved is what is.
A Am I something else is I am lost to who I am saved. How did you evade capture as a NAZI. You are obviously a white supremist with zero knowledge of antropology. Well said. These Libtards dont get it. They are all brainwashed. Believing we are all the same. Probably think we all came from Adam and Eve and committing incest. Spoken well from Neo Nazi. You are worried about the influx on the U.
Right on the money. Race is real, and the differences between the races are enormous. Anyone who denies this has left sanity and common sense far behind.
The leftist brainwashing is almost complete. The architects of this madness, the nomadic tribe of vagabonds on the earth, will succeed in killing many whites, but in the end the only people they will have succeeded in thoroughly destroying will be themselves. Their seed will be wiped off the face of the earth.
European populations with their ethnic branches are caucasians similar to other ethnicities in west Asia and North Africa. The same goes for the Caucasoid race, the classification of the populations is based not only on the skin color but on so many common bone features. Like other races the white race covers so many light shades and anybody familiar with west Asia and North Africa and the Mediterranean area knows very well the populations there are a shade of white white not black nor brown.
Trying too hard to associate the Arabs with whites, eh? The clue to this race war is the origin of each ethnic group existing today. Arabs are early inhibitors of the Arabian peninsula, and have since conquered most of the mediterranean. We were essentially lower primates when that happened than we are now. So really, the Americas have little to do with it.
And given the fact that whites originated in Europe, current NA whites are not as pure. Prosno, you are correct. The author of this article is an idiot who has an obvious bias against white people.
Perhaps he has white envy? You kinda skipped that. What anthropologists mean when we say that race does not exist is that there is no inherent biological category of race; however, race does exist as a socially constructed category. Our genes are not passed down as one collective package, but independently. Some traits are higher in certain populations, but human groups have always bred together and passed genes so there is a continual flow of genes across geographical space. There is also far more diversity within any racial group than there is between racial groups.
The racial categories used to separate people groups in the United States are not the same racial categories used in other parts of the world; they are cultural constructs.
Even just in the United States, the lines used to distinguish races change over time as well as according to which traits we are measuring- skin color, hair texture, eye shape, blood type, nose shape, lip thickness, you name it.
I understand your comment completely. My brother had his DNA testing done and the results blew my mind. I have always been told that I am Mexican-American. The results were amazing. But most white people do, meaning that at least 1 in 2 have thin lips and noses.
Like honestly, just get over yourselves. Why are the Chinese and Japanese missing from this list? As for North Africans; I believe the Nubians would reject this classification.
Why did you mention Japanese and Chinese rather than Vietnamese, Taiwanese and Indonesian- why would you think them to be Caucasian? Skin color might be an obvious visual marker, but visual markers, like language and other objects of culture, overlap, sometimes creating a illusory kinship that might actually over time develop into actual genetic similarity when cultural exchange intensifies due to said perceived similarities.
Isabella, I know, right. It seems to me that all to often, instead of seeking for roots through investigation, approval of the group is more preferable. I largely agree with what you said, Lisa. Race is an ongoing project where identity is the project leader. Toothpaste is recommended to wash out dirty mouths!! Or maybe you should buy a dictionary for respectable alternative words in a public forum, and respectfully clean up your language!
How about Euro-American? Much better. You dont have to check off every single european nation you orginate from, but the word euro-american is self explaintory. In my anthropology class i read that some believe this is a better term about ones background and its accuracy.
From my understanding that only includes Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Georgians, and Russians. As a person of Taiwanese descent, I understandably check off Asian.
Sorry this is such load of nonsense. First of all it is the masses of Caucasians that populated Europe, the changes are due to climate, weather and diet. Less sun you the lighter each generation keeps getting, your skin color, lips get smaller and nose thinner because of cold climate and diet. Europeans eat far more dairy which creates more white corporals and you look more like a cadaver. Being invaded for thousand years by Caucasians then Europeans may have changed features of some but that does not make them Caucasian, predominantly they are African in every way.
Ethiopians have Caucasian features but are African, Arabs are Semitic, word means race of color and they look nothing like people from the Caucuses, are you kidding me. Look at the Jews in Europe after years of being forced to be slaves, being used as sex objects, forced into prostitution, from features, language hair color, eyes and skin changed into European features, except ones in the Mediterranean from Spain to Greece, they changed less and still have Semitic features, and yes you can find some that you cannot tell if they are Semitic at all.
