White is the supposed color of our skin. Caucasion refers to ethinicity. Aryan is actually a reference to Europeans and Iranians. A few people have changed the word over the years to refer to people who have only European blood. They consider pure bloods" to have no other ethnicity and at its purest are blond-haired and blue-eyed.

Yes
White is slang for caucasian, (just as black became slang for *****)
Aryan is another matter.
In Europe, the concept of an Aryan race became influential in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as linguists and ethnologists argued that speakers of these Indo-European languages constitute a distinctive race, descended from an ancient people who must have been the original ancestors of the European, Iranian and Indo-Aryan peoples. These were referred to as the "primitive Aryans", but are now known as Proto-Indo-Europeans. In today's English, "Aryan", is merely synonymous to Indo-Iranian, the eastern extant branch of the Indo-European family of languages. [1] [2] [3] [4]
The other, (more distastful), meaning of Aryan is how Aryan Nation sees the world. Not my choice

'Whites' are europeans. 'Caucasians' includes not only europeans,
but also related people in nearby areas, especially the middle east.
Aryans are a caucasian sub-race that originated from the western
eurasian steppes.
