Yeah, I looked up those mountains and I don't believe my familials were ever there. I can buy the out of Africa beginning, but not the Caucasus theory.

What's crap is the government using Labels. Not your post, I appreciate your post very much. It brings to light a pet peeve of mine.

I am sick of being categorized as a CAUCASIAN! I CAN'T RELATE TO IT. I am frustrated by the government's collating me with the white Germans and the white French and the white Russians. I am none of those peoples. I am a victim of US history.

My people are not discerned nor respected by the US, only grouped with other groups based on exactly what I just don't get. An old social construct;
