CAUCASIAN
In the United States, Caucasian is currently used primarily as a distinction loosely based on skin color alone for a group commonly referred to as White Americans, as defined by the American government and Census Bureau. In Europe, "Caucasian" refers exclusively to people who are from the Caucasus. Many South Asian people for example Afghan, Pakistani, and some of Indian descent in Britain could be categorised as Caucasian as well.

Caucasian means from the Caucasus Mountain area, where the first white people came from all those thousands of years ago, according to anthropologists. Whether you choose to believe that's where they came from is up to you.
