    I think Caucasia would be India, with Cambodia Thailand and Vietnam making up Baulasia.

    Tell that to some Salvadorians. lol.
    They'll probably get mad, "voz".


    I am of Mexican descent, but I'm fairly light skinned and have a "white" last name. I just usually say I'm Hispanic because people get confused and I hate explaining things.

    If we were all black once, how did people turn white and how did Asians get those eyes? Inbreeding? Are black people the true representation of what humans were supposed to look like meaning we non blacks are genetically inferior?

    I guess it's only if you believe we came from apes. If you're religious you probably believe we came from 2 white people named Adam and Eve.

    I'm here to learn.

    Actually, I'm more annoyed with people using it to describe someone from a spanish-speaking country than people using it as an ethnicity. I know the origin, but definitions change. Aside from the US Census, pretty much everybody uses it to mean an ethnicity. So please conform. I'm likewise annoyed by the insistance that Jewishness is only a religious category and that tomatoes are really a fruit.

    Let me ask you, is there a term besides 'Mexican' that you prefer? Something less offensive?

    Ummm... what are you talking about? "Caucasia" is just another synonym for "Caucasus", which includes the Ossetian countries, the Chechens, Dagestanis, Georgians, Azeris, Armenians, Northern Iran, and a slew of other ethnicities that are located within Russia yet are ethnically distinct from the average Russian and are grouped near its Southern borders by the Caucasus.

    It has nothing to do with actually being a part of Greater Asia, just the countries located near and around the Caucasus mountains, and it would most certainly not include India... as a matter of fact, the map you posted relegates the actual Caucasian countries to a small part off to the left side.
