I was interested in learning where the term "caucasian" had come from. My kids and I were talking about this the other night, and asked, "Mom, caucasian is not a color, but a race, so how can they say we are "caucasian?". Much to my discovery, I really couldn't tell them. Now, after reading the article, I can understand what the term means, but am still confused by the term. I know that "caucasian" refers to the ancestry of the euorean people, or the "white" race, but caucasian is not a color. Such as being, how can we be deemed as "caucasian?" Does anyone have an answer for this?
