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.
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?
That’s only because the wine is whitish. Nobody calls the grapes themselves white. And she squeeze the juice out the juice isn’t the same color as the skin. I’ve never heard anyone refer a grapes as white grapes
why do we call green grapes white
Or purple grapes red?
(I’m guessing due to the type of wine they make)
Grapes don’t make wine, silly. They’re inert.

Don’t even get me started on ‘white’ people.

They also don’t look at the last half of the word too closely.
You mean the word ‘Caucasian‘? Sorry, but that’s probably unrelated to ‘Asia’. Folk etymology is fun, but always falls apart in practice.
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.

Who calls green grapes white…?
Never heard that happen
Might be different in other languages, but English usually divides grapes into red and white for color.
In English, grapes are green or red.
Wine is not a grape. White wine and red wine refers to the color of the wine. Nobody calls vodka golden because it came from a potato.
The fuck it does
White Wine

Pink balls
We’re talking about grapes?
Which part of the world are you from? I’m in Canada, and we call them green grapes and red grapes
