Since when was white considered to be a race ?

Coasty

When the NEA was allowed to start running the American education system. Now most people are to ignorant to know that Caucasian is the correct term.

in vino veritas

The Caucasian race, sometimes the Caucasoid race, is a term of racial classification, coined around 1800 by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach for the "white" race of mankind, which he derived from the region of the Caucasus.

I think the correct term is Caucasian

Since about the time they discovered there were different coloured chaps around.

However, the name "white" is not the name of the race. "Caucasian" would be the correct word, because white can be relative: You might think someone looks white, while in fact he's of a difference race.

Very good question. I don't know, but I understand what you mean.

The first time a white person was denied employment because a person of color applied for the job with less skills.

That is when.

I think I know what you are asking. White is a color as is black. My ancestors are from mixed nationalities but these are disregarded and I am considered White which in all honesty is taking away what i really am. I have a rich heritage of many nationalities that have been reduced to something that lacks color. I see what you mean. There are African Americans and Asian Americans and Native Americans, Mexican Americans and Hispanic Americans, I should be able to go by my Nationality too but I have been classified as white. Not something to argue about but in all fairness maybe we should be called something like European American...that would be better... the label,.Caucasian is Outdated.. If we are going to label by what race of American we are.

It's not. In contemporary society it's a liability and considered the source of all things exploitative. Academia has taught us that and the media reinforces that message every day.

yea, colour is not a race, a race is a group of people based on where they were originally from in their geographic location.

We got kicked out of a different Galaxy, and they called us that on earth because we looked different. I don't remember what earth year it was, but it was just yesterday a couple of light years away in the war, I mean Galaxy that we actually came from.

Eugenics theories. Once white people came on invasions of The other 6 continents from 1492 to early twentieth century and beyond until in twentieth century adventof 1960's Civil Rights came along. To this day Nazis and KKK types still think of white as race rather than skin colour.

It's What Plants Crave

Definition of Race - a group of persons related by common descent or heredity.

Ethnicity - refers to selected cultural and SOMETIMES physical characteristics used to classify people into groups or categories considered to be significantly different from others

You are mistaking race for ethnicity.

Caucasian refers to race, Latino refers to Ethnicity, Hispanic can technically be considered a "race"
