I think you mean "White" here, because Caucasian is a race. South east Asians, North africans, Middle easterners all fall into Caucasian category.

Sure, if you like. White and Caucasian are lumped together in stats. You can call it the group that's not a visible minority.

I love living where I do. Low pollution levels, almost everyone is nice and friendly, cops dont carry guns and there arent creatures hiding everywhere that are trying to kill you.

Honestly, I have always thought it was silly to be proud of nationality. Perhaps it is because I am American, not sure, but I have nothing to do with what Americans have done for centuries. All it does is present yet another way for people to think of reasons for division IMO. Not a big fan of the whole idea at all.
