Hell, we even let the NHL name a team, the Canucks. However to appease everyone, they play out on the west coast so not too many people get offended. I think the only way to derogatorily refer to a Canadian, is to ignore him. Chris Meech I am Canadian. [heard in a local bar] When I want privacy, I'll close the bathroom door.

It's probably a national Canadian game plan. By giving the idea that Canuck is insulting, the rest of the world won't bother inventing something more derogatory. Pretty neat idea, if so :-D Regards, Nish

I didn't know they were considered with "caucasian". And speaking of caucasian, are asians a subset of caucasians? ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

I recently found out that Indians are Caucasians too - colored Caucasians maybe, but Caucasian. I mean east Indians here. Regards, Nish

I didn't know that about eastern Indian, but I thought it was commonly accepted that the North of India was populated by the same 'indo-europeans' peoples that also migrated into Europe at about the same time. "You get that which you tolerate"

Nope - call him an American, he'll take offense to that! I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended. I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended. Dave

Does that encompass all Indians? I've heard in India there are 'white' Indians (Aryans?) that look more like caucasians and are suppossedly of higher caste than dark-skinned Indians. Do Indians have problems with racism within their own country? From my own experience even southern Indians consider themselves different from northern Indians.

The East Indies would be the Indonesian archipelago. Cheers, Vikram.

'South India' is more of an ethnic term than a geographical one. The four South Indian states are mostly made up of Dravidians. The rest of India is largely Aryan, except of course the North-East, where people are of Mongoloid stock. Cheers, Vikram.

Yep, there are three races, caucasian, negroid and mongoloid. White, black and yellow! Negros are south of the sahara and Australian aborigine, mongoloid starts from burma and goes north and east and the native americans, and the rest is caucasian. Nunc est bibendum

??? Asian Indians are usually referred to as Eastern Indians - because, even though the PC term for American Indians is Native American, in places like Canada, they are still referred to as Indians. And places where they are given land and housing are called Indian Reservations. I didn't mean Indonesians! Regards, Nish

As Vikram said, most South Indians are Dravidians (again a sub-group of Caucasians). While the average Dravidian Indian is darker skinned than the average Aryan Indian, in reality, the coloring is pretty well balanced throughout the country. There are dark skinned Brahmins (upper castes) and there are fair skinned lower castes. Regards, Nish

Refer any dictionary. Wordweb says 'East Indian' is an inhabitant of the 'East Indies' and the 'East Indies' refers to the Malay/Indonesian archipelago. The 'American Indians' or whatever is the fancy term for them in the current political climate are not Indians at all; they are American aborigines. Cheers, Vikram.
