What Ethnic Box Do You Check?

I was thinking about all this hate towards white people and thought to myself, "who are white? What is White?" My natural thought was anyone who is "Caucasian." But who is Caucasian? I mean we see it on ethnic choices but who are they?

So I did some digging and here is what I found.

"The Caucasian race...has usually included ancient and modern populations from all or parts of Europe, Western Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa."

So if you or your ancestors are from the following places, you are Caucasian and therefore in many places, "white". The countries and territories of each listed area as follows:

Europe -
Albania, Andorra, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Lietuva, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukaine, United Kingdom and Vatican City

Western Asia -
Turkey (yes several countries are part of more than one continent), Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Abkhazia, Armenia, Artsakh, Azerbaijan, Georgia, South Ossetia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Labanon, Palestine, Syria, Iran, Akrotiri and Dhekelia, Cyprus, Northern Cyprus, Egypt

Central Asia -
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan

South Asia -
Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka

North Africa -
Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, Ceuta, Melilla, Western Sahara / Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic

Horn of Africa -
Djibouti, Somaliland, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia

*One GIANT note. Caucasian is not a specific color. but a specrtum from lighter to darker skin.

So if you want to hate people because of their skin color remember one thing, all these people are one race. Most likely your race, and you are hating yourself, your family and your friends also.
