Americans. Granted. You're Europeans at heart, though...

You see, the word "caucasion" is a perfect word to be used as a generality for "non-"black" people who don't fit any of the rest of the labels".
False-o. "Caucasian" only applies to Native Europeans (migrated to larger continents or not), Arabs and Indians.
"Negroid" refers to black people from Sub-saharan Africa.
"Mongoloid" refers to the majority of people. Geographically they span from Mid-Asia to East Asia, as well as including Native Americans.
"Aboriginal" refers simply to Aborigines, and also some people from Southern India.

And there you have it. Nice learning experience, eh?

Off-topic posts should go to Mordor.
