Though I have to say the American way sounds pretty stupid given how utterly non-white many Indians are.
But then America and race is always crazy.

Tim is wrong. Indians are considered Asian.

Well sorta.  If you say that somebody is Asian people are going to think they are East Asian.  They will be really confused if an Indian dude walks in.  But by the census they are considered Asian.

I never said Indians were white. :huh:

Closest thing I said to that was many West Asians ethnicity are, but many is not all, and India is South Asian.

You said white and caucasian were synonymous. Indians are Caucasian.

Yeah among like 50 other things.  It has been a long time since the Indo-Europeans rolled in.

Indians is far to generalized a statement. There are too many subgroups and ethnicities there in to say Indians are Caucasians. Some groups are, particularly among the Brahmins, but most of the Indo-aryans have been assimilated into the local population. The dividing line between Caucasians and Asians is generally in Afghanistan.

Well it explains why we fail to attract and retain new members.

Don't be daft.
Southern India is heavily australoid iirc and then on the fringes are a lot of east asian ethnicities but the majority of Indians are thoroughly caucasian. Though most of them are pretty dark, light skinned ones can easily pass for Europeans.

That map is crazy. Lapps, modern Turks and... is that Hungarians? Aren't caucasian?

I think it has more to do with the fact we do not seek them our nor welcome them.  Well and we are a forum about nothing.

Ah, just grabbed that because I liked the Indian border. Didn't really look at Europe. :blush: Obviously I consider the above Caucasian.

Well why would I invite anyone - they might see threads like this and justifiably hate me.

Nonsense. We are a fan site for a gaming company whose products most of us stopped buying 5-10 years ago.

 Barcelona has been greatly in vogue with my roommate and I just recently-  both of us are resolved it is a place eminently worth visiting, and are in mutual acquaintance with a catalonian secessionist and anarchist fellow. Spain and Greece's latest news, and indeed most news out of Europe generally, has been encouraging. The only thing that could be asked for is some favourable and dramatic news out of Cisalpine Gaul.
