Ok. So

English --> Caucasian Balkan -- > not Caucasian, not close enough.

And that's not a joke.

I just consider very funny that the people from the region that gives name to the Caucasian "race" are not considered white enough to be considered Caucasian.

BTW this is a just a problem in the USA. The only time in my life a had to catalogue myself in a race tag was when I traveled to the USA. And it's very stupid because I'm Spanish but I couldn't tag myself as latin, they say I must use Caucasian.

Like I said, this is a thing only in the USA. Nobody cares about the "races" they invented.

My point is that, if you're trying to say that someone from the Balkans is not white you're just wrong.

Balkan is a region from the Caucasus so they are more Caucasian than any of the white/Caucasian from the USA today.

From the Balkan? Really? Man you're not going to believe when I tell you the meaning of the word Caucasian.
