Does white people mean same as Caucasians??

Answer 1

White is the same as caucasian, yes.

Italian and spanish etc etc are all caucasian too - take them out of the sun, they go pale.

They are only so dark because they have lots of exposure to the sun.

It's just a crude attempt by small minded bigots to divide people when we all belong to same race - humanity.

Answer 5

White or Caucasian is a general term for people of European descent, and that also includes Italians and Spaniards/Hispanic people even though their skin tends to be darker.  The three traditional "races" in biology are categorized as Caucasion, Asian (descending from "east" of the Caucasus Mts), and ******* (descending from Africa) based on the geographical descent of a group of people.  Nowadays, however, Hispanic/Latino is also looked at as a fourth group by some.  It doesn't really matter anyway, it is just a label, and a very broad one at that.

Edit: the technical 3rd term is supposed to be n.e.g.r.o.i.d. but it was starred out.  I didn't realize it was politically incorrect to state scientific terms. Oh, well.

Answer 9

Hey buddy

The term 'white' when attached to people is a generic expression for caucasian or more accurately 'pink' people, and i find it strange that pink skinned people are refered to as white, and brown skinned people are refered to as black.

It's also quite interesting how the use of these words are transveresed as so to alter a things 'true' meaning.

I have yet to see somebody who is refered to as white or black who is actually either of those colours.

Strange but true.

anyways take care and be well
