Thread Name: BS: Caucasians?
Subject: RE: BS: Caucasians?
I've no objection to the correct usage of a term. On the one hand, I doubt that checking "caucasian" on most census or survey forms really results in anyone learning anything useful. On the other, complaining about "discrimination" because a doctor or medical researcher takes the genetic line he is dealing with into account is a foolish, counterproductive reaction.
