[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Faheemdunkers: [qb] Note this key repeated Afrocentric fallacy: "White" people = pale white only. Then the Afrocentrics say: where are pale white people in the tombs, or if they existed wouldn't they burn in the sun to death? Just one of them "knock em downs"... ;) "Whites" [Caucasoids] were never all "pale white" to begin with, as any anthropologist will confirm: "The term 'White' is something of a misnomer, because the range of skin color in this race extends from light brown to ruddy, and [b]there can be no doubt that the vast majority of 'White' individuals have brunet skins[/b]". (Hooton, 1946) "Caucasian" by Bernard J. Freedman British Medical Journal Vol. 288, No. 6418, Mar. 1984, pp. 696-698 - [QUOTE]"Let us now look [...] at some terms in current use in the light of these criteria: Caucasian - geographically wrong. European geographical race - explicit but unwieldy. European - excludes those living in other continents. Caucasoid - It retains the fallacious Caucasian implication. White - [b]There are varying degrees of skin pigmentation in Caucasians.[/b] Europid - (en suite with negrid, mongolid, australid, etc) adopted by Baker (1974) after its introduction by Peters. The suffix -id is stated to be a truncation of the Greek -ides, of the family of. "Europid," which will be unfamiliar to most readers, does fulfil the above mentioned criteria. Its use in a medical journal might initially evoke more letters of complaint than the use of Caucasian does now. I believe that, with repeated usage under authoritative aegis, familiarity would achieve acceptance."[/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE][IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/RamessesII-ColoredRelief_BrooklynMuseum.png/511px-RamessesII-ColoredRelief_BrooklynMuseum.png[/IMG] Rameses II [IMG]http://cdn2.wn.com/ph/img/a7/07/132a9deeb54b3fe230cc0d84c53b-grande.jpg[/IMG] Tutankhamun [IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/picture-38-2.png[/IMG] Siptah But given the range of Caucasoidian skin tones aren't the above out of the range by being too dark to be Cauc-asian? If these people were walking down the street would would say they were white? [/QB][/QUOTE]
