Anyone else bothered by the word "Caucasian"?

[Syringer]

Whenever I talk to or read the writings of Asians or other races, I'm always bothered when they refer to "white" people as "Caucasian", as if it's somehow more PC or proper to do so.

It's similar to referring to "black" people as "AFrican-American"..but for some reason the word caucasian is a much bigger pet peeve to me..

Where's the "I don't care, even a little" option?

 

[OCGuy]

I dont think white people get all faux-outraged at every little thing to do with race like some other demographics. 😉

 

[InflatableBuddha]

Racial categorization in general bothers me. And since so many people are of mixed ethnicities nowadays, all of these terms are becoming less relevant.

My family doesn't come from the Caucasus, so I prefer "white." But I really don't care either way.

It's called the don't vote/don't enter the thread/don't post the fact that you don't care option 😉

[D1gger]

I could not care less.

 

[clamum]

Add "I don't give a fuck and never even thought about it" as an option.

You made a poll, yet you don't want to know what people think. Why even have two options? 😕

Yeah, it makes me sound rather dickish with cauc at the beginning.

I didn't even know what Caucasian meant until I got to college. "White" is the only term that I actually hear people say.

how bout we just go with standard naming schemes, caucasoid, mongoloid, and negroid? that better? 😉

fwiw, i voted third, but "i dont care, not even a little".

 

[Locut0s]

WTF? I use the word Caucasian myself all the time.

 

[TuxDave]

I prefer to use the word "whiteys" myself.

We need a "don't give a fuck" option.
