When did caucasian become synonym of white? The caucasus is a small area between russia and the middle east, I'm not caucasian
Because the vast swathe of Indo-Europeans seem to have all originated from somewhere in this region ... If you're white, then a good chunk of your ancestors had something to do with the culture that expanded our of that region in the late Neolithic/early Bronze Age. Do you prefer the term Indo-European?
Ok I think this falls in the "technically correct" basket, even though if you have to go so far back in time to find a common ancestor that the category ends up including two whole continents, i'm wondering what's the actual value of that information.
