    What does the West (ie Western Europeans) and the people of the Caucasus region have to do with each other? 😅

      Caucasian: of or relating to a group of people having European ancestry, classified according to physical traits (such as light skin pigmentation), and formerly considered to constitute a race (see RACE entry 1 sense 1a) of humans

        Only racist boomers and fascists use 19th century “race science” terminology in the 21st century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race

          I admit I only skimmed but what is the up-to-date terminology?

            In this context I think it’d be most appropriate to say European history, and one can additionally specify a region of Europe if necessary. But I am no historian

          I’ll update my terminology, thanks.
