CB: The racial typology that includes "Caucasian" is as discredited in
recent physical anthropology as phonemes in recent linguistics (smile)

One problem with the term 'Caucasian' for ethno-racial theorizing of
that sort would be that Caucasian languages are not Indo-European
(while, for example, Farsi, Kurdish, Pashtun, Greek, Albanian, Slavic
languages, are). Efforts to link them to Semitic languages have been
made. One interesting phenomenon is just how fluent many speakers of
Caucasian languages have become in classical Arabic for religious
purposes--compared to other non-Arabic Muslim cultures. Just a wild
bit of speculation there.

The myth about St. George sounds very accommodating to the
Ottomans--we will venerate your saints and respect your religion, but
Jesus is not a god.
