Caucasian is the usual one, but certainly for we of European origins, if we go back far enough (millennia) most of us are a bit of a mixture.
Go back further still and it would seem our distant ancestors were African; and the superficial differences called "racial" are simply natural adaptations to new environmental conditions, of populations drifting to other parts of the world.
Whitening in higher latitudes with less intensive solar radiation was due to needing less protective melanin, but going far enough North meant having to increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight.
' There are companies happy to take your money in return for a DNA test purportedly telling you your ethnic, regional or even national origins, but they are a waste of money and of course cannot guarantee accuracy! They base the "analysis" on generalisations and assumptions so broad that the result for most people not from a fairly hermetic culture of great continuity and antiquity, is meaningless. Traditional geneology is far more accurate as far back as reliable records for the individual can go. Some of the DNA companies' customers are white-supremacist types wanting to "prove" their own "purity". Often, it does the opposite, and then of course it's anyone's fault except their own ancestors.
Yes. We all originate in Africa which makes us all sisters and brothers. We are all a mix of everything. There is no real white. It's just that the ignoramuses among us think there is. When you deal with ignoramuses you must crawl down to their level and speak in simple words.
WHITE SUPREMACISTS ARE THE DOMESTIC TERRORISTS. They are also among the stupidest people on the face of the earth. They have no clue from whence they came! NOT ONE. Speak to them as if they were cogent lucid and modicumly bright is a waste of time. WHITE IS RIGHT. CONFEDERATES ARE WHIITE. TRAITOR DON and his adoring worshippers are dim lights and all white. I could go on but why? Thank you for your reply Durdle. There is no end to this madness. It will continue biglier and worser and awfuller. There will be more TRAITOR DON and more "white" supremacists. Like maggots. Sadly.

"Domestic terrorists"... I was surprised to learn today that although the concept and phrase are used in the USA, it does not appear in American law. Perhaps because it is a relatively new problem there, so the Statutes have not previously needed to consider it. It does not mean that terrorist-motive attacks are legal; but that they would be described by other offences and motives.
Sometimes I think that the better approach because it removes the aura of something "special" that such attackers crave.
