Today, my mother was re-enrolling me in school so she was required to fill out some paperwork. Later, she asked me, "What does caucasian mean?" I replied, "Why?" Apparently she didn't recognize the word, so she checked "Other" and wrote in "White". FML

My friend once told me that Caucasian is a mix of Asian and White... don't worry, your mother's not the only dumb ass out there.

That's hilarious... I'm guessing you're in America (I think that's where the term "Caucasian" is usually used), where the majority of people are white... did she not find anything odd about having to write it in?

Am I the only person who read this and assumed that English wasn't Mom's first language?

They ask your race when you are getting enrolled in school in America? That's totally racist.

I didn't know people were actually this ******* stupid until a couple years ago.

I believe that Caucasian shouldn't be used as a substitute for white. Caucasian means "from the Caucasus area", which includes Russia, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.
