Sorry, friend, "Caucasian" is the name of that vast group of people derived from the (Indo-European) population that spread out from the Caucasus mountain region about 50-40 thousand years ago. It includes Middle-easterners, Europeans, North Africans, Iranians, Turks, Indians, and some Central Asians.
