Armenians are "officially" caucasian. When Armenians have to pick a race from a list like when you are filling a form out (college apps), they put caucasian.

I am caucasian.  I have always wanted to be either African (in africa, perhaps in one of the indiginous tribes like the !Kung) or Chinese.

In the 19th century (and later) it was believed that there were 3 distinct "races" of humans: negroid (black), mongoloid (eastern) and caucasoid (white, but also applied to non-white people from the subcontinent and middle east).\n\nNegroid and mongoloid are now (rightly) considered to be non-PC and downright insulting. But the term Caucasian has survived to describe white/south asian/middle eastern people.\n\nWhen black people in America got fed up being called negros, they took on the term African American as a more accurate and respectful description of themselves and their heritage.\n\nI guess white people still get called Caucasian because it has never been a term of insult/abuse.

So true! I'm "Eurasian" and sometimes I don't fit in with Asians or Caucasians. . .only with other mixed people! I look more Asian in terms of facial features (though some people can tell I am part European), but certain features like my eyes (they are green) and my hair (golden brown & wavy) set me apart from traditional Asian looks! At the same time I don't fit in with white people because of my (mostly) Asian face!\n\n"Why don't people stop judging. It's wrong as i see it."\nYou are so right, it is WRONG, it's such a sick double standard! Caucasian guys can go out with Asian girls freely, but if an Asian guy goes out with a white girl (esp. in racial areas such as the south), he is gonna get LYNCHED!\n\nAlso, CURRENTLY in Russia they are trying to pass a law that makes a Russian girl lose her citizenship if she marries an Asian dude. HOW RACIST!\n\nGive your "Blasian" friend props. . .Cause I feel for him! People need to look beyond the superficial and stop the damn judging!

Armenians are a sub-group of Indo-Europeans.  They migrated from the north Caucasus approximately 4500 BC. Armenian people represent their own sub-group in the Indo-European family and are one of the smallest in population.  Other Indo-European groups have their own sub-groups.  Armenians do not.

It was predominantly the Turks.  They viewed the Armenians as inferior and heretical because they practiced Christianity rather than Islam.

The Caucasus is a region bordering Asia Minor, is located between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea which includes the Caucasus Mountains and surrounding lowlands. The highest peak is Mount Elbrus (5642m).\n\nThe nations that comprise today's Caucasus include Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and parts of Russia. The northern slopes of the Caucasus are in the Russian Federation: Krasnodar Krai, Stavropol Krai and the autonomous republics Adygea, Kalmykia, Karachay-Cherkessia, Kabardino-Balkaria, North Ossetia, Ingushetia, Chechnya and Dagestan. The northern section of the Caucasus is known as the Ciscaucasus, and the southern as the Transcaucasus.\n\nThe term Caucasian race is used almost exclusively in the United States to refer to people whose ancestry can be traced back to Europe, North Africa, West Asia, South Asia and parts of Central Asia. It was once considered a useful taxonomical categorization of human racial groups based on a presumed common geographic and/or linguistic origin.\n\nIn the United States, it is currently used primarily as a distinction loosely based on skin color alone for a group commonly refered to as Whites, as defined by the American government and census bureau. In the British Isles, "Caucasian" follows the North American definition, but in continental Europe, "Caucasian" currently refers almost exclusively to people who are from the Caucasus.\n\nThe term itself derives from measurements in craniology from the 19th century, and its name stems from the region of the Caucasus mountains, itself imagined to be the location from which Noah's son Japheth, traditional Biblical ancestor of the Europeans, established his tribe prior to its supposed migration into Europe.

Of course not !!!!!\nThere are good and bad people everywhere !\nSome caucasians think for some reason that they are superior...GEE.....we were climbing the trees when China was highly developed.\nI get on with oriental and Indian people.....maybe because I lived in that part of the world and did my best to make friends and get to know them.\nThere is so much you can learn from other people really\n(I am white)

i do not think they want to become caucasians..Whiteness of the skin has always been revered in Asia particular among women. A bit like our own history (Caucasians) before the whole fashion of tanning meaning that you had enough money to spend on leisure activities...and because being tanned is associated with wellness (a myth of course).\n\nThe "whiter" the girl is , the more respect she gains, maybe some kind of nobility.\n\nLots of them carry umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun...In some countries like Japan for ex...some women wear extra-heavy very white make-up...\n\nLoads of products for skin whitening in those markets. It is like surgery of the eyelid in order to create a two-fold eyelid : to enlarge the eyes..\n\n..or some women will undergo more radical surgery like elongating their legs.....\n\nBut to become white ? I certainly do not think so !\n\nHow many caucasian women use make-up to create a false upward and elongated eye ?\n\nIf you go and read China online, Taiwan daily etc..sometimes you find articles about that particular question.

Actually the meaning of the word Caucasian is pertaining to the Caucusus Region of central Eurasia. Including people of European, Russian, Georgian, French and Spanish descent (to name a few.) Caucasian means different in Europe than in the USA, so you may want to do research as to what "culture" you want info on. Here's some helpful links.\nGood luck as it is extremely hard to find "caucasian" and "culture" in context together.
