Tommy Knocks is correct.

[emoney]

what do you mean?

I try to stay away from using terms like Caucasian, Negro, Mongoloid, etc. they are archaic....but If someone else is using that terminology for discussions sake I will just so there is understanding between us. I prefer to label people by nationality, ethnicity, and tribe (in that order) and then if we are discussing linguistics, then use language family. If we are talking about appearance, then I will use racial terms (black, white, mixed).

What I meant by that statement is that Ethiopians, Somalis, Arabs and Indians are not monolithic peoples. They are a diverse looking group...with a lot of range in phenotype. Ethiopia and India are nationalities, Arabs are an ethno-linguistic group. So, within those peoples you can find some that can be classified as "Caucasian" just as some who are classified as "Negro".

The term "Caucasian race" was coined by the German philosopher Christoph Meiners in his The Outline of History of Mankind (1785).[4] In Meiners's unique racial classification, there were only two racial divisions (Rassen): Caucasians and Mongolians. These terms were used as a collective representation of individuals he personally regarded as either good looking or less attractive, based solely on facial appearance. For example, he considered Germans and Tatars more attractive, and thus Caucasian, while he found Jews and Native Americans less attractive, and thus Mongolian.[5]

The concept of a Caucasian race or Varietas Caucasia linked to "white race" was further developed around in the 1790s by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, a German professor of medicine.[6] Blumenbach named it after the Caucasian peoples (from the Southern Caucasus region), whom he considered the archetype for the grouping.[7] He based his classification of the Caucasian race primarily on craniology.[8] Blumenbach wrote:

Caucasian variety—I have taken the name of this variety from Mount Caucasus, both because its neighborhood, and especially its southern slope, produces the most beautiful race of men, I mean the Georgian; and because all physiological reasons converge to this, that in that region, if anywhere, it seems we ought with the greatest probability to place the autochthones (birth place) of mankind.[9][10]

Blumenbach used Meiners's Caucasian classification for similar reasons of personal (and cultural) aesthetic preference. He thought the Caucasian peoples (from the Southern Caucasus region) were, "...the most beautiful race of men."[11][12] Unlike Meiners, Blumenbach later justified his classification of the Caucasian race primarily on craniology, although his categorization of five human races were still delineated by colors (white, yellow, brown, black, red) in his writings, a change from Meiners's geographically based four human races.[8][13]

it's a bullshyt antiquated term created by ugly hunchbacked 18th century european researchers who fetishized what they thought were the top-notch physical specimens

they were kinda like the sportswriters of their day

technically race is relevent in anthropology, people are grouped based on similarities.

Ok ill take that. there are still more differences within races than across. This is just one of those frustrating things for which i just have to deal with how much race still means to people in the time period i live in

they say horners are caucasion based on there "thin" features which is bullshyt considering how every tribe in africa looks distinctly different. and a caucasion is "euro bullshyt" for a beutiful white race with origins from the caucuses mountains.
