What to change Caucasian to on forms? [closed]

Solution 1:

In the early days of the United States, there was a difference between "caucasian" and "white." Citizenship was extended to "free white persons," but Native American Indians were not considered "white." This was later resolved through legislation.

Today, there's not really a difference between the two categories. The United States Census uses the term "white," so that would presumably be a more common or accepted term.

While much less common, "European" is sometimes used to describe race. For example, "he is of European descent" (as opposed to Asian descent or Latin descent) would imply that he is white when used in the context of race.
