Who Exactly is a “Caucasian?”

Who exactly is a Caucasian? And what does this label even mean anyways? Although the term "Caucasoid" or "Caucasian" is largely considered to be outdated and inaccurate, today we'll be discussing whether the people historically described as such actually have any sort of genealogical or socio-political/cultural similarities in their origins whatsoever.
This video is NOT intended to be controversial or spark arguments over the usage of the word “race,” only to show a common genetic contribution to various populations spread out over a large chunk of the Earth's surface and the historical reasoning and analysis behind the term “Caucasoid.” It's just a stupid term that someone made up over a hundred years ago, so relax. Thanks for watching!

    The word carries with it so many problems. For starters, it was analogous to "Negro" for a long time, which should give some idea of how long the word has been in use. And it is so often used to describe Europeans only, when in fact the Caucasus Mountains are barely in Europe! Whenever I hear someone mention that Middle Easterners are not Caucasian, I ask, "Well, then - what are they?" People will usually say "brown," even though that is the most imprecise of all the "color" terms for race and can refer to any of various races. Occasionally someone will say "Semites," but then the Jews are Semites and most of them are considered white. Frankly, I think "brown" (at least when used in a Middle Eastern context) is pretty much a code word for "Muslim," because I've noticed that Christian Arabs are usually able to pass for "white"; in fact, many Christian Arabs have "melted" into white America entirely, while most Muslim Arabs apparently have not.

    @Sharon Cato No it is not a artificial construct. There are 4 main racial groups. Australoid Caucasoid mongoloid and negroid. There are distinct physical differences between each race. For example just by looking at a scull. A trained anthropologist can tell you what race that person was. Each racial group also has been found to have a certain admixture of archaic human relative DNA. Caucasoid = Neanderthal, Mongoloid= mostly neanderthal with some Denosovan, Australoid= mostly Denosovan with some Neanderthal, Negroid= heidelbergensis and Paleo Africanis. Each of the admixes of arcane DNA results in the regional physical and internal differences among the races. All modern humans are hybrid sub species of Homo sapiens. That does not mean that one race is any better than the others. The facts point out that race is in fact real. Each race is suited best for the part of the world they are fund in because of there individual genetic admixture.

But going back far enough we share our origins as human beings and even living beings from Eastern Africa, so dividing based on origins of such phenotype traits and exact Genotype is all a moot point.

    @@douche8980 Correct. Just because each of these has some Caucasian substratum, doesn't make them the same so-called "race." The Levant, northeastern Africa, and the Caucasus itself have the highest admixtures of Caucasian, but it's extremely low in the rest of Europe and South Asia. So this would apply to the Syrians, much less to the Somalis, but not to the Sri Lankans or Swedes. This is outdated colonial era pseudo-science for a reason, and it baffles me why, rightly, saying "Black race/negroid, "yellow race/Mongoloid," and "red race" are rightly seen as offensive and inaccurate, and somehow in the US "Caucasian" is somehow seen as polite and valid. Yes, it would be interesting to find out why this is the case, probably either because there was an existing Caucasian substratum before Afro-Asiatic and Ino-European peoples began to dominate in the area, or because e.g. the Hyksos were originally a Caucasian people before spreading into the Middle East and then Egypt, even though they're simply assumed to be Semitic (Afroasiatic). Having family from the actual Caucasus region, we have Indo-European Languages in Iranic and Armenian, Altaic languages in Turkic, and Caucasian languages such as Georgian and Chechen. Although we are genetically related having lived next to each other for several centuries, calling us all "Caucasian" culturally or ethnically instead of simply geographically, is something we find outdated and ignorant, just FWIW. Masaman has another video where he covers what Caucasian actually is or isn't, rather than this outdated European colonial era version.

That is how they are classified by the us government if it were up to me I would have a much more complex system of classification but it's not, I have been aware of all the things you just said for some time, and they are mentioned in this very video. The Puerto Rican point that I am making is that the majority of Puerto Ricans should not be classified as White on the census because they occupy a very different societal position than White people, and most of the ones who are told to write White are just light skinned mixed people for whom another option of mestizo, mulatto, mixed latino, or Afro-Latino should be available.

    This is important but it's also important to realize that the identities of "Black" and "Brown" were forced on the slaves and Latin Americans in the US due to the culture around them, e.g. Anglo culture, who saw them as all the same. So to combat their oppression, they turned their identity into something positive for them, something to feel proud of, to negate the inferiority they were meant to feel when being discriminated against.

    When I was in college many years ago, one of my required humanities classes brought in the county coroner to talk about "race". He said that coroners could generally come up with a general description of a person from bones alone, assuming there was enough material to examine, and said that there were three races, broadly speaking: Indo-European, Asian and African, and this was based on bone structure, not skin color. Obviously, because there is so much "mixing" of DNA in the US and much of the world, this can sometimes create issues for coroners using bones alone to come up with a description of the deceased.

    @Devine Truth The exclusion of Spain from that map is because the US Census distinguishes Hispanic (of any race) from whites, blacks, etc. who aren't of Hispanic or Latino ancestry. Spain is counted alongside Latin America (except Brazil) as Hispanic, with Brazil being counted as Latino but not Hispanic. Thus, all the other European countries are counted as non-Hispanic white while Spain is counted as Hispanic. So yes, the map is somewhat arbitrary, especially when it comes to Spain.

    ​@@DCJNewsMedia First Indo-European people were people called Yamnaya. you can search that name. this was the first people who had blonde hair(they had first mutation). they lived in the north of the Caucasus in the territory of modern Russia. they were physically strongest people at that time because they were first people who consumed milk. they also were eating meat and honey so their diet contained 40% more calories than other people's diet. Yamnaya's people also had strong bone structure (because Milk=Vitamin D). they also used horses. one more thing to mention is that they had very advanced metallurgy. their weapons were too good for that time. all these were the reasons why they conquered whole Europe. now the question: did they have any connection to real caucasian people? answer: yes :) yamnaya's people created by mixing 2 people of that time. 1)caucasian hunter/gatherer 2)eastern european hunter/gatherer so we see that 40-50% of Yamnaya's peoples genetics comes from Caucasian people but its not only genetics, its culture too. As I said Yamnaya's people were eating honey and gathered it in pots. do you know how they knew it? because their ancestors Caucasians(Georgia) were first beekeepers in the world en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beekeeping Yamnaya's people were herders so they couldn't beekeeping but they gathered it. I also said that they had advanced metallurgy. science says that first advanced metallurgy was in Asian countries and Yamnaya's people took it from them but Holy Bible says that first advanced metallurgy in the world was invented by Tubals(Georgian tribes) 5000 years ago. Georgia is Caucasian country. Yamnaya's people may took it from them or from Asian countries. no one knows that. Caucasian Hunter/Gatherer people mixed with other peoples too Yamnaya's people were herders they took their genetics in whole Eurasia too. Now there are genetical maps where we find Caucasian hunter/gatherer gene in Europe, Asia and north Africa too. there are plenty researches of Yamnaya's peoples genetics. You can search it. If you want I can send few genetical researches about them.

The only real Caucasian people are the ones who live in the Caucas regions but since the word ‘Caucasian’ is actually offensive and used to down-grade other races. I think the best way to describe them is ‘white Eurasian’. As for Somalis, most Somalis I’ve come across refer themselves as Cushitic black Africans and are proud to be black Africans. Let’s admit most people who are deemed as ‘Caucasian’ in this video probably don’t have any ‘white privilege’ anyway. But if you want to call yourself Caucasian that’s fine I’m just saying it shouldn’t be a word to describe people anymore

    @masaman @9:23 You made a mistake grouping horn Africans as Eurasian. Your chart on the right groups them based on Eurasian and African locality. The horn of Africa is located in Africa. The other Eurasian groups are correctly grouped 9:23

    I definitely thinking the old racial break down was a mistake in general. It didn't lead to anything good and in the USA for example it has had and is having irreconcilable consequences.

    Was there much racial conflict in the past? No, people acknowledged that groups wanted to be around their own. Now you've got Western Europe looking forward to ethnic cleansing because they decided to believe the fairy tale that nature doesn't apply to us.... Can't have Middle Eastern Grooming Gangs in the UK if you don't let them in.

    @masaman We know White skin evolved about 8k to 9k years ago. Blue eyes a few millenia older but what about the Caucasoid skull shape? (And for that matter the Mongolia skull type) I've found it hard to find a definitive point when this skull type developed. 35k year old skulls 💀 I saw that were formerly called Caucasoid now have reconstructions that look very similar to modern Khoisan tribesmen & mentioning that I'm searching for the oldest Caucasoid skull type post OAA because with such a diverse phenotype I'm sure skulls that fall in the Caucasoid range could be found amongst Black Africans (I use this term for all aboriginal African groups -pre North African back migration with no admixture) I'm sure we are talking older than 15k bce but I'm wondering had you ever looked into this question
