Irish, Scottish, German, English are basically Caucasion.

i can't believe the level of ignorance on this thread.......

1. Italians are caucasian
2. Caucasian refers to forensic differences, e.g. skeletal remains. There are 3 basic groups - Caucasian, Negroid, Oriental. and before any one jumps on me with the crappy we are all the same ...... there ARE physical, genetic differences between the groups. (ever wonder how science can determine if human remains are from a black, white or asian person when there is no soft tissue left behind?)
3. Arabs are considered caucasian as are Indians (India indians). American Indians are considered Oriental.
4. All white people are causcasians but not all caucasians are white.
5. As Mr DP points out adjacent populations mix so the boundries between these three groups is blurry where these groups meet. E.g. Central Asians are a mix of Oriental and Caucasian
6. The Human Being is a species, when people refer to 'race' thay are actually making reference to SUB-SPECIES. Caucasian, Negroid and Oriental are all sub-species of the human species. E.g. The CANINE is a species but the wolf, dingo and domestic dog are sub-species.

There you have it folks. A definitive answer. Thread killer!

I heard that too.

Discuss. Are all Caucasions really the same? This is a spinoff of Mexicans are pretty much Indians. Italians are not caucasions btw. They are a mix of white and some dark colored race.

Why does it matter>? Who cares. I dont see the need to categorize.

Cats are born with blue eyes too. They take on their adult color (usually yellow) after a few weeks.

We need to find out what the supreme race is.

yes, but we are not all the same. Different tribes made different cultural values, different traditions and different languages through the time.

Because it's fascinating to me. I'm not trying to rate the races. I just want to know how things came to be.

if anyone says they cant see differences in races and the way the act, live, perform and yes even in how intelligent they are .. they are lying or brainwashed.
