Are Indians Caucasian?

[Mortimer]

Indians are a blend of Caucasoid and Australoid some are largely caucasian and some are largely australoid, But if we go by simple skull grouping and such like physical anthropology many indians are caucasian and some are not. Southeast asians are also partly malayan and negrito etc. but they are counted as "asian" (mongoloid) so I think that also many indians can be counted as caucasian right?

No. Some are Indo-Aryan, many are South Asian. It's a big country...lots of groups but not Caucasian,

No. Some are Indo-Aryan, many are South Asian. It's a big country...lots of groups but not Caucasian,

In the USA the word caucasian means white european descednt but in anthropology it is one of 3 or 4 major races or sub-species and many indians are caucasian. read the link.

Well in SCIENCE Northern Europeans (Whites) are genetically distinct from Caucasians (Different Haplogroups). Whites are not Caucasian and Indians are neither. Though many of the predecessors of both may have originated from the same place (near east and N India regions).
Stop referring to 19th century maps and historical references as your science guide. They have genome maps now...welcome to the 21st century.

I don't acquiesce to that Asian description bullshit. Too broad. Oriental for mongoloid.
Don't like it? Tough shit. No offense intended so shove it.

R Haplogroup split and the difference between Caucasians and Whites...there ya go. Genetically distinct. There is a genetic connection between Indo Aryan peoples and the near east...many tens of thousands of years ago.

I view all people as one human race.

I see no purpose in drawing distinctions nor do I see enough differences to validate the need to divide us.

Mitochondrial DNA changes over time as does all DNA. We do all descend from one human mitochondrial line, the L haplogroup. The estimates of rates of mutation in human mtDNA make for a sort of clock to guess how long ago that group of women with the same mtDNA lived. The latest research suggests about 100,000 to 200,000 years ago, probably 177,000 years.

Nope. We would not be considered Caucasian. If we were, the United States Government would not have tried to eliminate us.

I can't seem to find a white race though...

 

[Moonglow]

Yes Caucasians include South Asia which is India..

Well...call it what you want. Western Europeans are genetically distinct from Caucasians.

With all that the modern insane-back-pedalists have made clear, them injuns can identify as what ever race they choose.

There are no simple answers to your question

Its had to say they are the Other just like me.

No...Caucasian would indicate an origination in the CAUCASUS regions. There is a distinct split

There's obviously deep disparities between Human races in phenotype, genotype, height, intelligence, disease resistance, and many other things,

How are these of no importance, exactly?

Actually there are rather minor disparities between the races. Which is why we have no trouble having babies with any race.

And again- why the hell does anyone care?
