    i was called "chites" once on another forum which i later learned i meant whites who want to be Japanese..and it is a races term.

    the funny thing is: who ever said i am a Caucasian ???
    even though i am white..i am Arabian...
    that is a misconception..not every white skin man is an american

    Caucasian does not mean American, but White.
