We mostly just face ethnic cleansing and genocide. I'm sure these other things came just before we died.

"Caucasian" is NOT a race. Although it has been hijacked and used as a term to mean "white people" in the US, it's not a recognized racial group by any scientific group. Using "caucasian" as a racial term to mean white people in the US comes from the bunk pseudo-science of craniology (studying skull shape and size in an effort to determine personality and intelligence traits), and was used widely used by racists.
"Caucasian" actually means the people that came from the region of the Caucasus mountains in Europe. So yeah, I'm sure the people from that region have at one time or another faced preducice and other biases against them...but they're a small group, to which you probably do NOT belong. :)

Absolutely. The potato famine was the result of the British segregation with the Irish.
The Irish and Italians had mob wars in the U.S.
Most of the Jews in Europe and the Soviet Union were whites.
The Gauls were made into slaves by the Romans.

I am a Caucasian of Cherokee ancestry. My Great-Grandmother and her squaw-man husband could not own land because she was Cherokee Indian. Yes, the blacks were able to vote and own land before my ancestors. Is that not segregation and prejudice?

Yes was bussed to a mostly black school as a innocent red headed white kid and got beat up allmost everyday by the black kids couldn't figure out why the white kids didn't pull together like the black kids so this went on for 4 years I could not let them walk all over us so I took a pretty good beating evey day but I turned out to be a pretty good fighter by the fifth grade.

Depends on your views, I believe (personally) that caucasions are discriminated against now just as A.A.'s are. And dont make me get into Affirmative Action...(shudders)... Unless your willing to host an open debate, your not goona get anything better than a biased answer based on individual beliefs.

I think your question needs to be modified, because caucasian is a big group. I am caucasian, Jewish, German, English, and Lithuanian. My family faced all the above.

I think you should read up on European history to get your answer. Ethnicities in Europe are very prejudiced against each other. My Greek friend's mother would not let her marry a white American, unless he was a millionaire.
