Since Caucasians or whites are the culture that's doing the considering there is no need to replace the term referring to them

Am in complete agreeement with this sentiment, Faldage. Perhaps, in our efforts to iron out the multiple and varied imperfections of life, we sometimes attempt energetic hyper-correction. These publishers probably typify this effort. No need to fix what 'ain't' broke.

But it was neat to read about Hans brinker and the Silver Skates.

Alex, you validated Faldage's statement with this comment. Most probably, none of us will recall folklore from China, India, Ethiopia, Turkey, Iraq, etc., that was taught to us in school. Maybe, because it wasn't, eh? On the flip, almost every child in a once colonised country knows of Hans Brinker and his efforts with the dyke. It is just yet another irrefutable process of history. I learnt that as Hans Brinker or the silver skates. And always wondered why that book was so titled. Can't remember much of it now though apart from some snippets from the stories about the dyke and the skates. On second thoughts, the child who put his hand in the dyke was nameless, wasn't he? I am thoroughly confused now....

A query on Caucasian..... Is it generally accepted today that whenever the term Caucasian is used, it is only in the restricted sense of applying to the 'white, of European descent' population?
