Who are the "original people of Europe"?
Are Spanish not "original people of Europe"? If they are, are they not of Hispanic origin?
What about Brazilians? Where do they fit?
And I'm sure there are Africans that are not American...
I'm confused...

E sabes o que me aconteceu? Ao participar num estudo que pretendia uma amostra "caucasiana", a investigadora colocou em causa que eu o fosse, uma vez que tinha nascido em...Portugal! Adicionou que foi pesquisar e não encontrou provas conclusivas que os portugueses fossem caucasianos. Será a proximidade a Marrocos?
Abraço
Ri-me a valer, Daniela! Se calhar ela estava a estudar mesmo pessoas que nasceram no Caucasus... duvido que haja muitas na Australia.
Diz o Wikipedia:
The Caucasian race, sometimes called the Caucasoid race,[1][2] is defined by the Compact Oxford English Dictionary of Current English as "relating to a broad division of humankind covering people from Europe, Western Asia, parts of the Indian Subcontinent and North Africa" or "white-skinned; of European origin" or "relating to the region of the Caucasus in SE Europe".[3] The concept originated in attempts chiefly by 19th c. European thinkers to develop a method of racial classification. This typological method was discredited and the concept is not relied on in scientific work related to humans.[4][5]
Hihihi!... e o pessoal que tem pai africano, mãe japonesa e nasceu... por acaso... na Noruega? Hihihi! Felizmente o mundo vai-se misturando de tal forma que deixa de ser possível reduzir as pessoas a caucasianos e afins... ou então têm de inventar novas categorias ;)
Bjoka grande ;)
