Only if you choose to take it as a slur.

Everything is a racial slur, if you want it to be.

Short answer is "no".

The only acceptable slurs against white people are "Honky" and "Cracker"

If Caucasoid is not a racial slur why do some contend Negroid is a racial slur.

Are you saying everyone gets to make up their own definitions of woids?

If everyone makes up their own definitions how can language be possible?

you would have to ask those who contend that.

But my guess is that some people really enjoy being offended and will look for any cause

Do you find it offensive? I don't. I won't make that choice for anyone else.

The term “Florida cracker” has an interesting background.

Florida Cracker: Pioneers in a Rugged Country

Calling someone a Florida cracker can be a compliment or insult, depending on who asks and who answers.

3. Another possibility is the sound made by the crack of the bull whips that the early Georgia and Florida settlers used to control their cattle and drive their wagons. This is still the favorite theory of Florida crackers in the cattle counties of central and southwest Florida. They're still cracking the whip even in modern times.

My son in law fits this definition of a Florida cracker. He comes form a long line of people who were born and lived in Florida. He has herded cattle on a horse using a whip. When he cracks his bull whip it sounds like a pistol shot.

What might surprise some is his best friends are black.[/I]

Sure it is. You've got to be drunken and delirious to spell or pronounce "Caucasian" like that, if that's what you mean.

If you mean it as one, it could be taken that way.

The terms used by the bone marrow registry is Caucasian for physical/genetic tracking of European nationalities.

If you are referring to culture, I would use the term Eurocentric or Eurolinear.

Nevermind. Wikipedia tells me you're right

The Caucasian race (also Caucasoid or Europid) is an outdated racial classification of human beings based on a now-disproven theory of biological race

"race" has been "disproven" Dont believe your own eyes.

We no longer live in a society based upon any principles, only identity.

The only racial slurs in today's society HAVE to arise from a white person, or to a lesser degree, Asians. Black people, because of their privilege, are allowed to use any terms they wish, so by very convention, the term could not possibly be considered racist if used by a black.
