Where am i from?????
Ok, this has been bugging me for the longest time.
WHERE IS CAUCASIA!?!?!
Last time i checked a map, there is no Caucasia on a map.
People who are from africa that live here, are called african americans.
Guess what people from asia are called...... Asian americans.
How about Latin America? Hispanic americans, or Latin Americans, <-- Personal preference on what they like. I learned about this in class today =)
Now my question is, why dont "Caucasians" get called, European Americans??

They should be called european americans, but instead simply call themselves Americans only, as if they never immigrated here, and have been here since adam banged eve.

because since we took the effort to kill 99% of the people that lives her, we claim America as our creation and make everyone else use Latin American or Asian American
That, or we're so ****ing crazy, other cultures want the rest of the world to know that they aren't really full American, they are Asian, Latin, or African American

Calling yourself a hyphenated version of "American" feels to, to me, to be exclusionary. It's like separating yourself from the rest of your countrymen (and women)
.
And don't get me started on a country being bilingual... all I'll say is that it's good for a person but terrible for a country.

caucasia is the spot between your sac and hole
but really i think the reason is Celtic/Baltic American etc never caught on because they arent as big a population, or as new as the Latin or Asian immigrants.
This pattern will continue in 100 years where Asians and Latinos names may change to something as vague as Caucasian.

Because the xenophobic "red-white-&" bluebloods populating & running America didnt like the immigrating euro (italian, german, irish) for 30-40 years from the late 1800's through WW1.
Thus they werent immediately integrated into the category of "white" and being a 'Euro American' was pretty much a racial slur.
*the more you know*
