"Caucasian" isn't exactly a thing here in britain. If you're white, you're white, weirdly enough
Thing that strikes me most about the OP is the "even russian" when talking about the people in the mountains? You do realize like half the caucasus mountains are in russia, so of all people to be incredulous about being there, they aren't exactly the top one

Race is a social construct . White / Caucasian is whatever society defines it as.

I always thought it was an umbrella term that typically included Europeans, Middle Easterners, North Africans and some South Asians as well. Most Europeans are caucasian, not all caucasians are European/white.
"White" is arbitrary and subjective as hell though. Generally "European = white" but the definition has included Middle Easterners at some points and excluded Southern Europeans and even The Irish at others. There are also nutjob purists who literally think you have to have blue eyes and blonde or red hair in order to be "pure"... another ridiculous concept, do DNA tests on any average white person it will unlikely come back "100% European".

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

I prefer Herrenrasse or Übermensch, depending on context. In most cases, e.g. when applying for an apartment, a simple "not brown, so don't worry" does the trick
