Having problems with the term Caucasian myself. I know it's still used in the US but never really heard about it in that context until lately. Those would be people from Caucasia for me - or a term emphasizing on racial appearances which is quite outtdated - and gives me the same sentiment Happybunny expressed. Achtung, stillgestanden! lol

Also it appears this poll is about physical appearance based on genetic origins? Ethnicity means more than that in my understanding.
 
You have Caucasian as an ethnicity but then also have African as one as well?

What happens if you were born in Africa and are caucasian?

I think the poll and intent are not thought out completely.

You are the mod. Change it as you see fit.
There are lots of threads about racism here and I got curious about the representation in this forum. I worded it to the best of my abilities. Folks seem to get really anal once you even mention skin color.

After 1940-1945, I was always warned about people, and especially Germans, who asked questions about one’s ethnicity.:(
It has to much of that dreaded "ausweis bitte"
... says the dutch socialist that lives in a place that recently reintroduced "Ausweis bitte".:D
 
[MOD NOTE]
I think we're done here. The thread really didn't take the direction the OP wanted and I think its time to close this.
