Where In The World is the continent or country called Caucasia? is it somewhere near asia? funny caucASIANs do not really appear to be asian. but when we fill out paper work the form asks our ethnicity we are given a couple choices African/American Hispanic Asian or Caucasian so all these choices denote a country or continent - except for caucasian, or is there a caucasia that I am not aware of? I never learned of it in elementary school.

Caucasion denotes light skinned humans, it denotes the race not the country of origin.

sooooo I wonder then, if a dark skinned couple who would normally refer to themselves as African/American have a child who is albino - would the child check caucasian?

LOL, just because someone is unfortunate enough to be born with the medical condition of albino it doesn't change his race, or his ancestry if you will. He is still of the same race.
