Caucasian aren't synonymous with white. Both South-Europeans, some Middle-eastern groups and some South-Asian groups are seen as Caucasian because of the skull. It's not the color that's determining it.
@mdn12345, why? I understand it may be a bit confusing if I said someone outside Europe may be Caucasian too, but South-Europeans are both Caucasian and Europeans. They're often not white.
Actually Caucasian is a misused term. True Caucasians are the people who are from Pontic Caspian steppes. Most true Caucasians are genetically between Anatolians (today’s Turkish people) and Siberians. Actually, ethnic Russians look more oriental when compared to Germans, French, Austrians and even Czechs. I guess this is one of the reasons of Russians’ more oriental faces.
@mdn12345, oh, I thought languages changes with time and that the word "Caucasian" has got a new meaning. Sometimes similar words gets a new meaning. "Gay" in the past meant something different than what it does today.
Exactly 😊👍🏼 When you tell a Russian “Caucasian”, they would think about Armenians, Georgians, some Turkic people, Ossetians, Circasans, Chechens. However, it has a different meaning in the Western World.
Conclusion: Most Russians are Europeans since the population mostly lives in Europe and there's few people who lives in the Asian part. Most Russian people are white. Perhaps European is a more right definition than Caucasian.
