why do we call green grapes white
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?
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?
They mean etymologically. Asians are from Asia, not “Asus”.
Then i must point out ‘caucasian’ ends in ‘asian’, as that is where this began.
Who calls green grapes white…?
Never heard that happen
two examples: white wine, white grape juice. both are very common. seems to refer to the juice color, not the color of the grape skins.
when they’re made into raisins, they’re called golden raisins. so “white” isn’t even the only one.
Might be different in other languages, but English usually divides grapes into red and white for color.
The fuck it does
White Wine
Pink balls
We’re talking about grapes?
