Do you think the Caucasus is white?

[16coresCasual]

Don't forget baltic area... very mongoloid...

Lmao you faggot

"white" is such a stupid term. who is white? it is such a stupid name for a racial group because it implies a phenotype that only describes very little about overall genetics. westasian populations are mixtures of different ancient groups that could be considered as their own races. i think the americans got it best. they just say caucasian=white. all westasian populations, europeans, caucasus, levant, north africa, arabs are "white".

however it is questinable how usefull this is for you as an individual. there is a lot of variation in this group, just inside one country you already have a lot of variance. it's just practical for pop gen but for individuals it means only little to be "white" or "asian" or "black" or whatever.

Asians are much more homogeneous than Caucasians. White people are people of extremes generally. They have very divergent phenotypes that I think they should be divided. An Italian is closer to west Asians genetically and phenotypically instead of other white Swedes.

Because features. They are alien to regular European ones.
Also cultural and economically.

To be fair, they are not more or less "alien looking" than far eastern Europeans who look Asiatic, and the peripheral southern European minorities who look MENA. Besides, many North Caucasians pass better as whites than some Mongoloid influenced Russians.

Why do Armenians and other Transcaucasians like to troll Russians? Because only in Russia Armenians and other Assyrians are considered and called black (often in a more crude form using the words ass and black). This is about the same as in America they call blacks. Feeling proud that in America the Armenians can be considered “white,” that is, equal to the European peoples, the Armenians became excited and rebelled at this forum and in every possible way trolled their Russian offenders.

Assyrians are not Transcaucasians though. And there are very few Assyrians in Russia anyway. I think you're getting us mixed with the Armenians.

My post wasn't even attacking Russians though. All I said that the peripheral parts of Europe have non-European influenced peoples, from Sicily to Russia.

Because a significant portion of Russians are imbecilic morons, and colorblind to boot. I think it may have to do with the fact that a huge portion are mixed with Tatars or being labeled as undermensch by Hitler hence why they have a chip on their shoulder and feel the need to express this false racial superiority over certain groups who are ironically more Caucasian than they are, racially speaking. Nobody really buys into your false bravado.

Today there is such an objective science as genetics, which objectively shows that the Russians did not mix with the Tatars. Russians are a mixture of Slavs, Balts and Finno-Ugrians.
Armenians have nothing to do with whites and Europeans. Northern Caucasians have a large percentage of ancient European blood coming from the Indo-European steppe, but in general, Northern Caucasians will not be seen as European, except for a small number of photos on the Internet. But if you don’t specifically select photos, the North Caucasus looks like this:

These guys are white or non-white, let everyone decide for himself. Phenotyping is too inaccurate.

Objectively, genetics shows that race is a gradient. Some Europeans will be genetically closer to certain non-European populations, while conversely, some non-Europeans will be genetically closer to some European populations than to other non-Europeans. So your bullshit "have nothing to do with Europeans" mantra is complete horseshit based off of genetic studies. CHG+EEF+some steppe=bulk of Armenian DNA.

Some S.Italians yes, Central and North Italians no
