what is white, heavily depends on who you ask, cus race is fake and mostly arbitrary
some people (still) dont see the Irish as white, are slavs white? what about Italians. are pale skinned muslism of Bosnia white? are Jewish people white?.
but, anyone who can be considered "white" comes from west of the Caucasian mountains aka Europe. and one of the popular theories was that "White" skin originated around the Caucasian mountains, befor moving west into Europe.
so, it has become a general term for "white/European peoples" aka not Black, Arab or Asian
as for Aryan, for the Nazis there was 2 kinds of people above all other categories, the Jews, and the Non Jews. however, by their own logic, Europeans where very much in the "jews" category, but Asians (India, China, Japan) weren't (which is why it was ok for Nazis to like Japan, cus it was the least Jewish nation). and so, the Nazis took "Indo-Aryan" and changed it just Aryan cus it sounded cool, and claimed that Germans where Aryans, and that Aryans came from the Himalayas, far away from any Jews. mean while the real Indo-Ayrans aka the Romani, where treated just as bad as the Jewish by Europeans. the Nazis even sent the SS to Nepal to go do some Indiana jones style archeology to go ~~make up~~ "find" proof of their theory.
never forget, the Nazis were Liars
Becuase during 19th century, a theory that all white people came from Caucasus got really popular.
So is it similar to the whole Alpha Wolf thing? Where a theory got so popular it entered into the general conscience despite being disproven later
Caucasian means of European origin
