That is a good question. Maybe it is too closely related to the "n" word? I think that Caucasian should go away personally. If it is not ok to lump other groups together then why is it ok to lump "white" people together. Besides I am not white....more of a peach with pinkish undertones. Which is funny because I am half "Native American"....can't judge a book.

Because Yahoo promotes reverse discrimination! You can write caucasian in the question header, but not *****, both of which are scientific atomical politically correct terminology. Apparently '*****' is only allowed in the answers section.

Nobody finds the term "Caucasian" offensive, that's why. But they should. I do not come from the Caucasus. Neither is that where white people originated. So it's inaccurate.

That's odd--the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. used that word to reference his race in his speeches.
***** (and negra) is the Spanish word for the color black.
Now the word, "******", is not a slur. It's like calling the brother "homey."

It's a "PC" thing but what they haven't figured out is that there is nothing correct in politics.
They also haven't figured out that it's also the French word for black. Guess the French will have to do without the color black in all of their Yahoo literature.

I seen 2 ****** beat up a caucasian for saying "that black guy over there"...while they were kicking his head in, they were saying, "Do I look black to you, cracka"? "Who you callin' black"? It was surreal.

***** actually is a slur on black people,coz earlier during colonial times the term was used for Slaves......generally speaking it also means black skinned people.
you can politely call them black . because i personally feel its better not to hurt other peoples feelings.

I take exception to the word caucasian. I prefer honky. I'm a honky and proud of it!
Terms like "white-bread" and "cracker" just make me hungry.
