My skin is (commonly refered to as) white. My ethnic group? Scotch/Irish/English/German/Swedish. I am not a fucking Caucasian!
I am not so much offended as annoyed when people call white people Caucasian. Caucasian, although in the American vernacular, is really a bullshit term invented by a jerkoff German (see:Blumenbach) in the late 1700s. It is no longer used in anthropology and does not describe me, despite me being white.
