Zitat von Bluebird
Ich halte die Bezeichung "Euro-American", in Anlehnung an "African-American", fuer zutreffender.
Ich glaube das nur ein zu vernachlaessigener Teil der "weissen Einwanderer" tatsaechlich aus dem Kaukasus stammt.

Mag sein das du das fuer zutreffender haeltst,aber Euro-Americans ist eine Erfindung von dir und existiert in den USA nicht .
Das du einen Caucasian als jemanden aus dem Kaukasus siehst,ist wiederum deine ganz eigene,nicht besonders smarte,Auffassung.
Wiki hilft dir dabei zu begreifen was Caucasian bedeutet.
Usage in the United States
In the
United States, the term
Caucasian has been mainly used to describe a group commonly called
White Americans, as defined by the government and
Census Bureau.
[21] Between
1917 and
1965, immigration to the US was restricted by a national origins quota. The
Supreme Court in
United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind (1923) decided that Asian Indians – unlike Europeans and Middle Easterners – were
Caucasian, but were not
white, because most laypeople did not consider them to be
white people. This was important for determining whether they could become naturalized citizens, then limited to free whites. The court and government changed its opinion in 1946. In 1965 major changes were made to immigration law, lifting earlier restrictions on immigrants from Asia.
