The term 'white race' has become increasingly controversial in recent years, prompting a search for alternative synonyms that can be used to describe individuals of Caucasian descent. One commonly used term is 'European descent' or 'Caucasian', though both of these have their own limitations. Other suggested alternatives include 'Anglo-Saxon', 'Nordic', 'Aryan', and 'Indo-European', though many of these terms carry strong historical and cultural connotations. Ultimately, individuals and organizations should be mindful of the language they use to describe people of different racial backgrounds, and seek to avoid stereotypes and stigmatizing language.
