    Or purple grapes red?

    (I’m guessing due to the type of wine they make)

        Meanwhile stupid USians subscribe to the literal 19th-century ‘scientific racism’ theory that has ‘Caucasian people’ as something other than deeply tan skin that Caucasian people actually have.

          They also don’t look at the last half of the word too closely.

              Half the Caucasus mountains are in asia.

              What Caucasus are you on about?

                They mean etymologically. Asians are from Asia, not “Asus”.

                  Then i must point out ‘caucasian’ ends in ‘asian’, as that is where this began.

                    Point away, you completely missed mine. “Caucasian” means “from the Caucasus”, “Asian” means “from Asia”. It’s a coincidence that “Caucasian” has the word “Asian” in it, they’re not from the same root words. Otherwise, either Asia would be called Asus or the Caucasus would be called the Caucasia. Look up the word “etymology”, I don’t think you understand the concept.

                So you’re implying that Middle Persian ‘*Kaf kōf’ is halfway the same as Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀯𐀹𐀊 ‘a-si-wi-ja’ or /⁠aswijaː⁠/? Do you have any evidence to support your claim?

      when i say “red grapes,” i’m always referring to the ones that are actually red because they have the most satisfying snap when you eat them.
