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.

So even being a caucasian is racist...word salad...
Other than for medical doctors and possibly dentists, we should ban the title “Doctor” for any other person. The agendanista IDIOTS awarding themselves PhD titles are undeserving of the honor of Doctor in their titles.
They can title their “degrees” Indoctrinee 3rd Class, Indoctrinee 2nd Class and Indoctrinee 1st Class.
This talk is the stuff that leads to people being sent off to concentration camps. It is so out in the open.
Caucasian =/= Aryan
Aryan is a linguistic category, not a racial one.
There are lots of “caucasian” peoples whose native tongues are not Aryan. Basques, Finns, Hungarians, Lebanese, Syrians, Chechens, Circassians, etc.
According to the widely accepted classification of anthropologist Carlton S. Coon: “. . . human beings comprise one species divided by minor differences into five distinct races: Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Congoid, Australoid and the nearly extinct Capoid of Africa. . . .”
Als ob ich das nicht schon gewußt hätte!
Es nennt sich "Humor" bzw. "Sarkasmus".

I can hear the drumbeat getting louder that we’re all going to be labeled “Citizens of the World”......without borders.

Caucasian is a reference to the geographic area that Germanic Europeans are understood to have originated from.
Aryan is an ethnic designation for a group of people who are effectively Latin European.
Didn’t need the sarc tag for me. I laughed out loud reading your comment. Was so obviously sarcasm. Sarcasm with sharp teeth.
exactly. include indians(asian) as well. persians are actually the real aryans. so not about skin color.
and australan(south sea island) like the aborigines and southern indians
Tiger Woods - Caucasian Black Indian (Native American) Asian. Ca + bl + in + Asian = Cablinasian
Ban the word “scientist”, or redfine it as “quack.”
The Caucasus area is a region so old the Hittites referred to the peoples. It’s so broad, it’s considered the birthplace of european expansion
Get your foot off the neck of my culture, Cambridge
Last I checked caucasians were called white motherf#_$&s...
“Ban the word “scientist””
“scientist” always annoyed me at school.
I was young and in English Language class we would be taught “I before E except after C”. The next lesson would be General Science. Surely sceince would follow the rules I thought?
My cynicism & scepticism started at an early age.
Well, it's only fair..
