Political Weirdos

I mean, it's literally in the name. The Caucasus region is in the general vicinity of a lot of predominantly Muslim-Arab countries (in modern times, of course). One could argue that they have more claim to call themselves Caucasian than most white Americans do because it's really doubtful that the majority of the white-skinned people in America who do identify as Caucasian actually bothered to trace their family origins all the way back to the Eastern Europe/West Asia region.

I 100% thought Caucasian was just a fancy/politically correct word for "White" when I was growing up until someone educated me more on it.
