This video is NOT intended to be controversial or spark arguments over the usage of the word “race,” only to show a common genetic contribution to various populations spread out over a large chunk of the Earth's surface and the historical reasoning and analysis behind the term “Caucasoid.” It's just a stupid term that someone made up over a hundred years ago, so relax. Thanks for watching!

4:57 CLARIFICATION: I meant to say that most Middle Easterners are genetically closer to Sub-Saharan Africans than Europeans are, but messed up with the phrasing on that one. Let me know which of the colloquial “races” you'd like me to break down next. Thanks for watching

As a spaniard, that US census map makes me cringe every time.
-
Caucasian is not a skin colour...it's a shape of skull...
-
Exactly so many people are ignorant and presume Caucasian means "white skinned" European.
-
Spaniard : White Caucasian european USA : wait, I though spain was in the south of mexico
-
I'm caucasian. Because I live in Caucasus !
-
I hope that people one day will stop using the word “Caucasian” to describe race
-
There are two races: Those wo have money and those who don't.
-
Glad to see you supporting the idea of race and ethnicity being far more complex than most people think.
-
Caucasian. Just another misused, misunderstood, confusing and outdated term used to classify human beings.
-
Is this why Somalis move to cold cities in the US like Minnesota of all places? LOL
-
Thanks Masaman as a Somali I appreciate the work you put into your videos. I hope you are not discouraged by some of the ignorant comments in the comment section.
-
Caucasian is a completely outdated and inaccurate term.
-
According to the US supreme court Spanish, not white. North African, white. confusedjackychan.jpg

We Somalis are not Caucasian. We are Cushitic. We Carry the E1B1B Haplogroup that means we are off Cushitic race. We are way older than the Caucasian race.

It's fascinating material you offer to your audience. Thank you very much for contributing. A heartfelt thanks!

Caucasian is a term used on the people of the Caucasia region Caucasoid is a term used on human appearance form
-
8:05 American logic: sudanes people are caucasiens but spaniards obviously aren't.
-
I'm half white and half Indian, I'm considered Caucasian because the majority of South Asians belong to the same race as Middle Eastern and Europeans.
-
I heard Caucasian means American of European origins but my inner mind tells me this is complete nonsense
