Well, not exactly and it depends on who is saying it. In the US, we are more likely to say "white", while other countries are more likely to Caucasian. Also, "Caucasian" has to do with anthropology and this group of light-skinned people that descended from the Caucasas region in Eurasia and some parts of Northern Africa.

While yes, they are similar, there must a term to differentiate between the decendents I described above and someone that simply has white skin. The problem saying that someone is "white" is that there are white Hispanics, such as Christina Aguilera and many South Americans. there are also biracial people that appear to be fully white but are not.

Caucasian is white. Which is confusing, since I don't know what that would make Caucasian people. Lol funny.

Caucasian (caucasoid) are of light or white skin pigment as a european.
mongoloid moderate dark skin pigment as an oriental or asian.
******* brown or black skin pigment as an african.
Otherwise, what can I say?...take care...
