I’m not debating that, because it has nothing to do with whether the words Caucasus and Asia have the same origin, which they objectively, pedantically, do not. Caucasus derives from Scythian language, whereas “Asia” comes from the Hittite language.

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.

They mean etymologically. Asians are from Asia, not “Asus”.

It does come down to trust, and if you walk into my doctor’s visit with a camera strapped to your face, you’ve lost mine. Doesn’t matter if it’s on or not. I distrust your descion-making abilities on a fundamental level. Plus, if they’re the kind of person who would try and film someone without them knowing, they’re also the kind of person to lie about it being off. But honestly, they might not even be trying to record surreptitiously, they might do it on accident. I’ve got a buddy who worked in IT customer support for a medical device company and would tell us horror stories, the amount of American doctors who have absolutely no fucking clue how basic technology works is staggering. Like truly scary, considering how highly we regard them and their presumed intelligence.
