Removed merge tag
[edit]I removed the merge tag that suggested that this article be merged to European American. Caucasian-American was originally a redirect to European American, but I turned into a seperate article because the definition of White in the United States also includes non-European Caucasians such as Middle Easterners and North Africans.

Caucasus region
[edit]It seems logical to me that the term "Caucasian American" could also be used for Americans who are Caucasian in the sense of the peoples of the Caucasus region. Gringo300 08:48, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Two contradictory sentences
[edit]First this article says "Although the term Caucasian is not used in official US government racial tallies, some independent agencies use this term as an ethnic/racial label." Then it says "Most South Asians are classified as Caucasian by forensic anthropologists, but they are not classified as Caucasian in the U.S. census, which uses the term Caucasian to describe most white people." Which one is correct? Spylab 03:48, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Why separate?
[edit]Why is this separate from White American? Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 22:46, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
