I don't exactly fit the mold. I'm five six with red hair, green eyes, very light skin, small boned and typical oval face. Typical, typical. The question my hair is curly and when I say curly I mean like almost African curly. I'm German and a little English where did the hair come from? Just curious out of boredom.

I'm sorry but I had to respond to Jackson S's comment. He mentioned that he didn't know what Spaniards are. I assume he is confused about the whole 'Hispanic' thing. Well, let me instruct you...Spain is in Europe. There is no wall isolating Spain from other Europeans. Thus, Spaniards are white Europeans. "Hispanic" is a generic term that has no biological significance. Think of it like the term American. There are hispanics who are white, asian, black, native american, and a mixture of any of those. It is not a racial term. Seriously dude,... travel.

I have no idea, but I know when you get "the list", I can't mark any of them, so Caucasian is by default. I know my relatives on one side were french but have been here since the 1600's and I know the others came a hundred or so years ago from Germany and Ireland. Who they were all sleeping with before that, I don't know and don't care.

"Caucasian" I believe defines anyone of European extraction. but the Caucasus Mountains are in eastern Europe so that's kinda misleading.

Light skin, not kinky hair
Indians (from India) are not considered Black because of their hair, but light skinned Hispanics are considered White-Hispanics...
For all I care...

If you're white and red-headed then you are definitely caucasian. You're a full-blooded caucasian.
