Or purple grapes red?
(I’m guessing due to the type of wine they make)
Don’t even get me started on ‘white’ people.
Meanwhile stupid USians subscribe to the literal 19th-century ‘scientific racism’ theory that has ‘Caucasian people’ as something other than deeply tan skin that Caucasian people actually have.
They also don’t look at the last half of the word too closely.
You mean the word ‘Caucasian‘? Sorry, but that’s probably unrelated to ‘Asia’. Folk etymology is fun, but always falls apart in practice.
Half the Caucasus mountains are in asia.
What Caucasus are you on about?
They mean etymologically. Asians are from Asia, not “Asus”.
Then i must point out ‘caucasian’ ends in ‘asian’, as that is where this began.
Point away, you completely missed mine. “Caucasian” means “from the Caucasus”, “Asian” means “from Asia”. It’s a coincidence that “Caucasian” has the word “Asian” in it, they’re not from the same root words. Otherwise, either Asia would be called Asus or the Caucasus would be called the Caucasia. Look up the word “etymology”, I don’t think you understand the concept.
USian brain on display, ladies and gentlemen.
So you’re implying that Middle Persian ‘*Kaf kōf’ is halfway the same as Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀯𐀹𐀊 ‘a-si-wi-ja’ or /aswijaː/? Do you have any evidence to support your claim?
