Second about classification
In continuity to the previous classification topic, I think that it could not be presented only one theory, so: The subcategory "Hamitic" could be in "Negroid", the term "Aryan" must be removed as controversial pseudoscientific and be replaced by the terms "Nordic" and "Mediterranic".

Australia
Hi Laterthanyouthink, it seems we are already working towards a solution, but perhaps I might remind you of WP:ONUS. Since this article is about the obsolete concept of a Caucasian race and not about the term Caucasian, I don't think we should give to too much prominence to the latter. That one study used the term is surely not relevant unless discussed in secondary sources. Rsk6400 (talk) 07:44, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- I'm not too fussed about whether the study is mentioned or not (and haven't gone looking for others), but I do think it is necessary to distinguish the use of the term in Australia, which appears to be different from usage in the US, so I don't think that the lead is quite correct as it stands, and nor do the citations support what it says there. In Australia, Caucasian is not used as a definition of race in any census, nor by anyone to denote a concept of race, only by the police forces as a descriptor of appearance. I am making this point in the article to demonstrate that the term is not obsolete nor criticised in Australia. In my opinion the whole article needs to be restructured per WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY, but I don't have the time nor will to do that now. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:06, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
