It is obvious enough that some north-west asians are clearly mongoloids (to use archaic anthro term). but, south western asians like the arabs and indians are clearly different. are they classified as caucasion?
are arabs african in origin or asian?

It really depends some people put Arabs in their own subgroup, some call them caucasians & some call them 'Black', but Indians are NOT caucasian. Most Indians you see on TV & other media, the light ones, are descendants of Aryans who concquered northern India many centuries ago. The dark Indians in southern India that you usually do not see in media are Dravidians & are believed to be the descendants of ancient East Africans (ie. Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda...)

arabs and indians are part of white race (i.e. not mongoloid or african)
