The word 'caucasian' should be banned because it is 'associated with a racist classification of humans', according to five Cambridge and UCL scientists.

Researchers said scientists should only use the term when absolutely unavoidable but refrain from 'usage where possible'.

Authors of the article titled 'The language of race, ethnicity, and ancestry in human genetic research' said the term Caucasian was an 'old term associated with racist and pseudo-scientific classifications of humans'.

Caucasian, they wrote, is 'an 18th-century term invented to denote pale-skinned northern and western Europeans, or in other archaic connotations a wider range of people based on skull measurements, including west Asians, south Asians, north Africans and Europeans.'

The paper, published on the pre-print sever arxiv, added: 'The language commonly used in human genetics can inadvertently pose problems for multiple reasons.

Someone should alert Putin that he’s got a mountain range needs renaming.

Caucasoid, Mongoloid and Negroid. That is it.

I brought that up in a conversation at work with a young guy who was mixed black and white. He said, "I guess I'm a Cauca-negroid!"

I personally think all words should be banned. And that’s because any word, no matter how innocent, could potentially offend some person somewhere.

Instead, let’s all communicate using only numbers: 0 = no and 1 = yes.

I haven’t figured out how to represent the rest of the words in the English language yet. So I’ll get back to you on that.

Lesson #83728 in teaching the general public that most schools of higher learning are without true value, damaging to the inner spirit and no longer worth the price of tuition.

This is why idiocy needs to be stamped out when it first raises its stupid head.

Native Americans are referred to as caucasians on most applications and documents. So these professors if they are white should resign from their positions and appoint African Americans are replacements. Those same white professors should forfeit all their pay, benefits and retirement

Why do you say person when it may be a perdaughter?

I spend a lot of time thinking of Tull lyrics that fit our current state of social insanity


AUDITION

The actors milling helplessly—
The script is blowing out to sea.
But what the hell, we didn’t even pass an audition.

The lines you’ll have to improvise.
The words are written in the eyes
Of politicians who despise their fathers.

And so the play necessitates
That all you boys participate
In fierce competition to eliminate each other.

And groupies, on their way to war,
Get to write the next film score,
But the rock and roll star knows his glory is really nothing.

Men of religion, on the make,
Pledge an oath they undertake
To make you wise for God’s own sake, and none other.

While ladies get their bedding done
To win themselves a bouncing son—
But bad girls do it for the fun of just being.

And me, I’m here to sing along,
And I’m not concerned with righting wrongs,
Just asking questions that belong without an answer.

But God is laughing up his sleeve
As He pours himself another cup of tea,
And He waves good-bye to you and me, at least for now.

The racist train of insanity must be derailed immediately.

Banning things should be banned. People who ban people should be banned. Banners should be banned. Bain de Soleil should be banned. Banning things that are not already banned... should be encouraged.

This is from Cambridge University, the British school that produced the most Soviet spies in British history.

And these idiots are worried about using words that everyone who speaks English understand!!

This is all so silly.
Just skip to the Zyklon B phase already, (except of course for our NWO/Davos masters).

Do any of you folks (Caucasians) feel offended by this designation?

I can suggest an alternative: Aryan.
