that kid looks jewish.

i don't know, i'd say caucasian, meaning not caucasoid, of course, but someone from caucasus (what's the right word?)

'white'?

no, white is the word for caucasoid. i'm looking for a word meaning someone with caucasian origins, i.e. from caucasus. many or most guest workers in moscow are from caucasus. the pc way to refer to them is 'a person of caucasian nationality/origin', and the un-pc ones -- 'blacks', 'black-assed' etc, because their skin is much darker than that of russians...

as a jew, i'd have to agree.

грузинксий, может, ребенок?

is there an english (unambiguous) word for russian «кавказец»?

my cheesy-ass dictionary doesn't think so. i think it would have to be "someone from the Caucasus region". either that, or refer to them specifically by their nationality, which, in the case of Georgians, would still be ambiguous to an American. :)

would still be ambiguous to an American

indeed!

on second thought, that word might be relevant in russia only, and then only in some parts of russia

i guess we don't have any jews left here: i don't know how jewish kids look

я имела ввиду что НЕ похож на еврейского совсем. ты была права.

you see! thank you.

i meant that i agree with Vriad Lee. That kid is no Jew. No Siree Bob.

for the sake of argument: She Looks Jewish.

that sent me looking 'jewish kids' in google images

i am currently Laughing.

oh you shouldn't. they may think you're laughing at jews. or caucasians.

i am a Jew, i have the right.

oh, you certainly heard about Self-Hating Jews phenomenon?

wait, laughing and hating is the same? because i mean, i love Jews.

as far as races are concerned laughing and hating is the same! i guess. okay, i don't really know.

only to someone who (a) hasn't seen very many jews and (b) hasn't seen any people from the Caucasus region.

in other words - not really.

p.s. if you want to see 3 specimens of jewish child (me, my brother and my cousin), you can look in my photoalbum here:
