    The joke doesn’t work with caucasian.

    But you are right I should have used country… I will change that.

      Also it doesn’t work because it’s not an insult though, unless the “German” in question is actually a yank, and gets offended as an actual hobby

      Caucasian isn’t a race either. We’re all the human race.

        Race doesn’t exist in human biology. Genetically a caucasian could be closer to an aborigine than another caucasian, what we perceive as race are relatively unimportant and tiny parts of our genetic makeup.

        However, race exists as a signifier in social studies, because people experience the world and are treated differently when they have different race-perception. For example black men driving expensive cars will be pulled over more frequently. Hence race exists as a social concept because people treat it like it exists in more than just that.
