(Anonymous) 2012-07-17 12:04 am (UTC)(link)Also, how are Indian people Caucasian? Is there a group of people who migrated from that area and ended up in India (is this why some of the European and Indian languages are similar?)
Sorry if this seems stupid or trollish, this is a subject I know very little about and am honestly curious.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-19 02:16 am (UTC)(link)IMO it should be "all white people are Caucasians", not "all Caucasians are white." Anyway, your questions.
"how are Indian people Caucasian?"
Because Indians are not Mongoloids (East Asians) or Negroids (Africans).
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/caucasian
"1. Anthropology. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of one of the traditional racial divisions of humankind, marked by fair to dark skin, straight to tightly curled hair, and light to very dark eyes, and originally inhabiting Europe, parts of North Africa, western Asia, and India: no longer in technical use."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race
"The term Caucasian race (also Caucasoid, Europid, or Europoid) has been used to denote the general physical type of some or all of the populations of Europe, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, Western Asia (the Middle East), parts of Central Asia and South Asia. Historically, the term has been used to describe many peoples from these regions, without regard necessarily to skin tone."
Scroll down a bit on that page and find the map. Notice how parts of north India are the same color as the "Aryan" blue of western Europe.
"Is there a group of people who migrated from [the Caucasus region] and ended up in India (is this why some of the European and Indian languages are similar?"
This is indeed one of the hypotheses to the origin of Indo-European languages. Other hypotheses can be found in the links below.
