I...don't know.
a shiksa is a Yiddish term for a white woman. My understanding is that it has a vaguely negative connotation as in, "oy vey, my son is dating a shiksa!" I think that it can also have a funny/taken back connotation, as in my friend who is married to a jewish guy whose online name is "shiksagoddess"
Aren't Indians considered Caucasian?
"Shiksa Goddess" may be a direct reference to a song from The Last Five Years. Is he or she a musical fan?

depends on the geographical region of the referrer. For example, in London, Indians were referred to (and referred to themselves) as asian. Confused me a lot in the beginning.

Not when you're fitting people into ethnic/racial slots.
Noo reason you can't be caucasian and Asian, though. I mean, calling them Asian doesn't make them the same "race" as most of China.
Which is possibly why both labels and race are kinda weak.

Are you talking more than the old-school three racial slots? Caucasian isn't an ethnicity anyway.
Well, I'm talking when you mark checkboxes in surveys or case report forms.
What do you put down?
I mean, the boxes on the forms vary depending on what data they need. Some are in the race mindset, other focus on ethnicity. Others are just crap forms.
The ever-popular Asian/Pacific Islander is normally the closest.
