Do you even know what Caucasian and white is? Hint hint, it isn't the same thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race

That's legitimately interesting, and I tip my hat to your knowledge, however, in North America, Caucasian means white, does it not? Ask almost anybody you know, or don't know what it means to them. Any poll asking people to verbally describe Caucasian, or say pick a Caucasian from a group of photographs would produce results that would verify this claim. It's meaning has been clearly redefined on this continent. Still ,I again have to compliment, and thank you for teaching on teaching me something new.

Well according to the US census, Middle easterns are considered white legally. Whether or not they're socially considered white, well that's a different story. Me being 1/2 persian, most people still do consider me white here in Canada. Maybe because I'm 1/2 European as well, I don't know. But anyway the legal definition for a White person in America is a person of "European, Middle eastern, or North African descent": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Americans

And maybe I should do a poll sometime. I'd be surprised to know just how many people actually know the difference.
