As one of the people you are seeking to describe, I really don't care. Neither are offensive and both acceptable. White identifies a skin tone, Caucasian means a person with roots in the Caucasus Mountains.

What effect does race have on voter behavior in elections?
Socioeconomic factors such as gender, race, age and income play a large part in voting behavior. For instance, Blacks are more Democratic leaning than Whites. Blacks also tend to have low voter turnouts and thus their representation is much lower than would be expected based on their demographics. It is more difficult for black or Latino candidates to win in predominantly white districts. There are even some studies that claim based on having â??more Caucasian looking featuresâ??, some minorities stand a better chance of attracting white voters.

How is CAUCASUS an ethnic group?
Caucasus is not an ethnic group. Caucasian is typically used as a more politically-correct term for White, which is a racial category.

The Caucasus actually has numerous varied ethnicities, which is why there are numerous language families in close proximity within the Caucasus mountains.

Are religious people more apt to be politically correct?
Note that being "politically correct" has nothing to do with politics; it should be properly referred to as 'social acceptability/socially acceptable' (and even that isn't the best description). It is basically acting in a fashion that will cause the least possible offense to anybody that may hear or see that act. For this reason, a person of religious affiliation is just as likely to be "politically correct" as anyone else.
