I’m not trying to be inflammatory, but can someone explain what is offensive about the name “the caucasian”? His follow up about “the negro”, which I take as an off-color joke, is obviously still over a line whether he meant it or not. But, if it’s a White Russian, it seems obvious it’s a play on the Caucasian mountains or the Caucasus. What’s the issue?

It might be because I live in a city, worked in the industry, and because it'd also a joke from the Big Lebowski, i can't find the problem.

There had to be something else going on.

I’m 45, and The Big Lebowski is one of those movies that are a cult classic and people love it but somehow it snuck by me. I finally saw it but later in life. It was great but it just didn’t make that kind of impression on me.
