The joke doesn't work with caucasian.

But you are right I should have used country.... I will change that.

Caucasian isn't a race either. We're all the human race.

[–] Enkrod@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Race doesn't exist in human biology. Genetically a caucasian could be closer to an aborigine than another caucasian, what we perceive as race are relatively unimportant and tiny parts of our genetic makeup.

However, race exists as a signifier in social studies, because people experience the world and are treated differently when they have different race-perception. For example black men driving expensive cars will be pulled over more frequently. Hence race exists as a social concept because people treat it like it exists in more than just that.

Also it doesn't work because it's not an insult though, unless the "German" in question is actually a yank, and gets offended as an actual hobby
