Half the Caucasus mountains are in asia.
What Caucasus are you on about?
So you're implying that Middle Persian '*Kaf kōf' is halfway the same as Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀯𐀹𐀊 'a-si-wi-ja' or /aswijaː/? Do you have any evidence to support your claim?
They mean etymologically. Asians are from Asia, not "Asus".
Then i must point out 'caucasian' ends in 'asian', as that is where this began.
Point away, you completely missed mine. "Caucasian" means "from the Caucasus", "Asian" means "from Asia". It's a coincidence that "Caucasian" has the word "Asian" in it, they're not from the same root words. Otherwise, either Asia would be called Asus or the Caucasus would be called the Caucasia. Look up the word "etymology", I don't think you understand the concept.
The Caucasus is half in asia.
So if we are being most pedantic, then 'being from the Caucasus region' does not indicate if you are from asia or not.
I'm not debating that, because it has nothing to do with whether the words Caucasus and Asia have the same origin, which they objectively, pedantically, do not. Caucasus derives from Scythian language, whereas "Asia" comes from the Hittite language.
USian brain on display, ladies and gentlemen.
Well Caucasian wouldnt be nearly as impactful as a word if it weren't for the USA.
Most of it's use comes from the creation of a 'white race' for use in politics/law/oppression/dehumanization.
And when that stuff began, remember the Italians, Irish, and many other now 'white' people were not considered 'white'. So being called European was out. Had to try and find a word that excluded the mediteranian peoples, since the bulk of wealth and power were mainly English, French, Germanic, and Dutch.
Note: and the people mainly responsible for the caucasian misnomering were not from Scandanavia and had yet to conflate 'white supremacy' with Aryans. And thus yet to describe ideal Aryans using Scandanavian features.
Wrong again, US boy. ‘Caucasian’ actually included most of Asia, since ‘Mongoloid’ only properly described East-Asians like the Chinese, Mongols, Siberian natives etc. Indians and Arabs (i.e.Aryans) were included in ‘Caucasians’, although the definition was debated.
Also, the ‘scientific racism’ theory was thought up at the University of Göttingen in Germany, when the US was just a few years old.
