They defined "Caucasian" by skin colour first time around but found it not to be beneficial later on, but it doesn't matter. They made it about skin colour when they invaded Africa and the rest of the world, so we're keeping it by skin colour.

The appellation Caucasian for the grouping was popularized by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752 - 1840) who named it after the category's archetypal skull, a cranium of a woman from Georgia in the Caucasus region
In various editions of On the Natural Variety of Mankind, Blumenbach expanded on Meiners' popular idea and defined five human races based on color, using popular racial terms of his day, justified with scientific terminology, cranial measurements, and facial features. He established Caucasian as the "white race", Mongoloid as the "yellow race", Malayan as the "brown race", Ethiopian as the "black race", and American as the "red race".[21] In the 3rd edition of his On the Natural Variety of Mankind, Blumenbach moved skin tone to second-tier importance after noticing that poorer European people (such as peasants) whom he observed generally worked outside, often became darker skinned ("browner") through sun exposure.[22] He also noticed that darker skin of an "olive-tinge" was a natural feature of some European populations closer to the Mediterranean Sea.[23] Alongside the anthropologist Georges Cuvier, Blumenbach classified the Caucasian race by cranial measurements and bone morphology in addition to skin pigmentation, and thus considered more than just the palest Europeans ("white, cheeks rosy") as archetypes for the Caucasian race.[24]
Following Meiners, Blumenbach described the Caucasian race as consisting of the native inhabitants of Europe, West Asia, the Indian peninsula, and North Africa, including toward the south the Moors, Abyssinians and adjacent groups.
White people is a racial classification specifier, used for people of Caucasian ancestry, with the exact implications dependent on context. The usage of "white people" or a "white race" for a large group of (mainly European) populations, defined besides other characteristics by their light skin and contrasting with "black people", Native Americans, "colored" or "persons of color" originated in the 17th century. It was only during the 18th century, that this floating category was transformed in a quasi-scientific system of race and skin color relations.
The term "white race" or "white people" entered the major European languages in the later 17th century, originating with the racialization of slavery at the time, in the context of the Atlantic slave trade[11] and the enslavement of indigenous peoples in the Spanish Empire.

The crackpot Blumenbach might of had this fantasy but to the majority of whites "Caucasian" translate to "whites" and that excludes all the groups mentioned above.

quote:Dinkum seems to be of the opinion that Caucasian is not defined by skin color
Most people are ignorant of the frivolous origins of the term "caucasian". German amateur anthropologist Johann Blumenbach was once traipsing in the Caucasus mountains of Southern Russia and found a skull that he thought was a "perfect" skull. He then assumed that this "perfect" skull suited the people of Europe best--and voila the so-called Caucasian race was born.
It was this silly and frivolous reason that Eurocentric anthropologists have even found caucasoid peoples in Africa--Hottentot, Tutsi, Amhara, some Hausa, Fulani, Northern Yoruba, Indians of India, and random cases here and there in Africa.
So how to parse the following polychrome images? LOL. Taxonomy is just that--taxonomy. Black dogs, brown dogs, black cats, gray cats, etc. What are the intrinsic differences?

It’s funny you never answered my question. Well, let me explain it to you. Foreign sources. Here is an example, white boy.
quote:Zimbabwe: U.S. sanctions 'racist'
Sunday, March 9, 2003 Posted: 1859 GMT ( 2:59 AM HKT)
HARARE, Zimbabwe (Reuters) -- A senior Zimbabwean official condemned on Saturday a U.S. decision to impose sanctions on the leadership as part of a "white racist" attack on a government he said was fighting for the interests of its black majority.
U.S. President George W. Bush on Friday imposed economic sanctions on Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and 76 other high-ranking government officials, accusing them of undermining democracy in the impoverished southern African country Last month Mugabe launched a blistering attack on Bush and Blair, branding them imperialists who wanted to impose a new form of colonialism on developing countries.
quote:Bush urges world to unite on Zimbabwe sanctions
(CNN) -- President George W. Bush has urged the international community to punish the Zimbabwe government for suppressing its political opponents and using violence at the ballot box
"I care deeply about the people of Zimbabwe," Bush told the G-8 annual summit in Hokkaido Toyako, Japan. "I am extremely disappointed in the elections, which I labeled a sham election."
Incumbent Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe maintained power as the only candidate in last month's election. His only challenger, opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai, withdrew from the race.

The British prime minister added that there is growing support for a U.N. envoy to be dispatched to "to make sure that the parties in Zimbabwe know that we've got to work for a transition so that there is a legitimate government, one that we can support, and one, when it does exist, we will want to help with the reconstruction (of Zimbabwe)."
"The world community needs to unite at the U.N. this week not just to condemn violence but to initiate sanctions on the regime and send a human rights envoy to Zimbabwe," Miliband said.
quote:Zimbabwe's Mugabe urges West to lift sanctions
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe called on Thursday for lifting what he called“illegal” sanctions on his country as he railed against the United States, Britain and their allies for imposing them.

quote:Originally posted by Dinkum: [qb] Why are Americans so obsessed by race? If its not white racists claiming ancient Egypt was Nordic, then its Afrocentrics claiming ancient Egypt was black. Ancient Egypt was neither black or European. It was Middle Eastern. That has been proven by DNA.
"Ancient Egypt was neither black"
What supposedly has proven by genetics is very fragmented and is disputed by physical anthropology and archaeology.
Ancient Egypt was black, but black from Northeast Africa. Over 90% of the images on reliefs all over Egypt show this. You have to be pretty ignorant not to see this.
Dinkum seems to be of the opinion that Caucasian is not defined by skin color
You mean the idea bolstered by 17’, 18’ and 19’ century racist / so-called anthropologists to perpetuate a fraud? Named after a prostitute who died after being raped!
Your theory has so many holes. It’s not even funny any more.
