OWP

This is the white person that gets offended when white people are called “Caucasian” because “the only people that are Caucasian are from the Caucasus region.” In reality, Caucasian is a word commonly used to describe white people and has taken on a double meaning. Unfortunately it is correct in that sense to call any white person “Caucasian.” A more valid reason to not use the word “Caucasian” is its history with scientific racism. One could say the only people who are white are albinos or that the only people who are albinos are named Albino. Race is a social construct that is itself incorrect; the concept of what is white has changed over time in the United States. Words take on new meanings, and it’s important that we focus less on the Red Herrings and start focusing on what matters.

Kenyan Dude: Europe is filled with shithole countries.
German Dude: How could you say that? That’s my culture. That’s my identity.
Kenyan Dude: Now you know what it feels like for someone call you country of origin a “shithole country.” You get to be Caucasian—
German Dude: The only people who are Caucasian are from the Caucasus region.
Kenyan Dude: Not according to the dictionary, you OWP. If there’s no confusion and that’s the only misgiving you have with the word, then I’ll continue to use it in spite of you.
