True, but The term Caucasian was re-purposed to phase out the use of the word “White” as a PC term. So Black = African-American and White = Caucasian.
Its a fail since people call each other black or white anyway. Besides what would the PC term for Jordin Sparks be African-Caucasian, mulatto us outdated and mixed can mean any type of mixture?
There is not clear cut guidelines separating, Ethnicity, Nationality, or Ancestry.
