I'd prefer Caucasian, or even gringo to either of the above..


yeah....I'm a blue eyed Eye-talian myself....don't appreciate the Anglo thing either....Heck didn't that Gringo word come from a song that the Tejas Rangers were singing during a siege...and the Mexicans listened too every night across the Rio Grande? something about "Green Grow the lilacs...." anyway thats what I hear tell......Thats my story and Im sticking too it.

I HATE the word "caucasian." I aint from the Caucases! Besides, it sounds like a shoe style.

I have no problem with being called white (my race) or Anglo (my predominant language). I'd prefer it, however, if you simply called me by my given name.
