#IdentityWhiteCaucasian
Context "Johannes Blumenbach, a more prestigious German anthropologist, adopted 'Caucasian' into his own racial schemata, classifying humans into 5 races: Caucasian, Ethiopian, Mongolian ('yellow' race), Malay ('brown' race), and Native American ('red' race). Blumenbach's Caucasian 'variety' were white-skinned, rosy-cheeked, narrow-nosed individuals who were 'God's original creation'; the other 4 groups were equally human but 'degenerate' versions of Caucasians who had departed from the original human form."
