The Caucasian race is an obsolete racial classification
of human beings based on a now disproven theory of
biological race. Literally speaking "Caucasian" refers
to people from the Caucasus mountain region which
includes Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, parts of North Iran,
and central Southern Russia.

Great Britain is not or anywhere near the Caucasus.

In order to be British you need to be from Britain, that is
born in Britain or having British nationality and this can
and does apply to people of every ethnicity and colour on
the face of this world.
"
The term "Caucasian" does not mean "white" anthropologists once
used a category called "\Caucasoid" but this referred to skull
structure and had nothing to do with skin colour. Moreover
this nomenclature was discredited and abandoned by
anthropologists many years ago. The term "Caucasian" to refer
to white people is utterly incorrect.

The British are a multicultural nation and Caucasian is not
the right term if you are referring to the majority of
white people. At least not in the British culture. It
depends where you live and how diverse are your
communities. So - n the English are not "Caucasian."

Foxy

There are indeed stringent rules to qualify for aboriginality but these don't seem to be policed by all areas.

I was taught the process by an anthropologist engaged by my employer to run a "Cross Cultural Awareness" Course some decades ago because of a pending influx of aborigines into their workforce and to dispel many of the myths circulating at that time.

When my wife worked in a Doctor's Surgery she would occasionally get people coming in and claiming to be aboriginal and asking for all their "free stuff".

For them it was just a matter of them ticking a box on a form but without needing to provide any form of evidence and it's not up to medical staff to prove otherwise.

I'm not aware of anything working differently nowadays and it seems some are jumping on the bandwagon to appear trendy, but this is working against the interests of genuine first nation people.

My first cousin is classified as Aboriginal, on her mothers side she has the same amount of Aboriginal blood as me, but has more from her fathers side, so it seems, I thought he was a pom. She did have to apply with evidence to the Clan and be accepted before calling herself Aboriginal. We are such good mates, I said to cuz; "What are you going to call yourself.... POCAHONTAS!" She said; "Nah, wrong tribe cuz."

Hi Foxy,

Be satisfied ttbn is of the Aryan race, and can prove it. How do you think me go into the SS.

it was Individual,
Paul1405,
I can't recall denying that either just as I don't recall using the term Concrete Jungle Bunny (in your words) to "those of Aboriginal ancestry living in cities" .
I referred to city people in general as the dense living condition there are like a rabbit warren. At no stage did I make reference purely to those of Aboriginal ancestry. Also, when you made me aware that the term Jungle Bunny was an offensive South African term which I was totally unaware of I stopped using it as I made crystal clear to you !
If you're so desperate to stir please find something else to pick as this has become boring.
How about explaining why those with Aboriginal ancestry i.e. Great, great,great grandma had an affair with a white bureaudroid makes a great, great, great grandchild an Aboriginal & not a European ? As by your own divulgence you're are one such great, great, great grandchild you should be able to provide a valid explanation for deciding to be Aboriginal & not some European ancestry !

“Ethnosciencec recognises 4 different races: Caucasian, Mongoloid/Asian, Negroid, and Australoid, which most Australian aborigines belong to. Aborigines are definitely a different race from all others in Australia.”
If Australian Aborigines are a different race why are there no throwbacks with inter marriage?
If there is no new Aboriginal blood introduced into a line then the genetic influence of the Aboriginal ancestor declines more with each generation until it becomes genetically insignificant.
