I dont kno how u get the idea that there is anything remotely Caucasian about any of these groups, their culture is very distinct and probably much older than any european groups that exist today.
    very informative. i wasn't using the term in reference to culture...it was in reference to the three main races of humans.

      if u use it that way u would be rite. mongoloid, negroid and caucasoid. they are caucasoid. i just think its a very archaic system of looking at any group anthropologically, it doesnt fit with the science. but what u said is technically correct in that sense.

            if you look at skull shape bone structure nose shape and hair its still a feasible way of categorizing humans. i know there are many sub races and to generalize in such broad terms is not that relevant in terms of anthropology...but its still interesting nonetheless.

              No he is Asian. He is the decendant of the great Genghis Khan. You know, from Mongolia.

                Open your eyes and take a good look at Hatton, do you think he can pass as a Pakistani? catch my drift?
                Your drift is that you're a racist boor who should be banned from all civilised forums.

                  So a black fighter can be American or British but not a Pakistani fighter now?

                  Just enjoy or hate his boxing, he fights for himself and his money at the end of the day and that is all.
