In layman's terms, if someone is Caucasian then they usually have a variation of white skin. Caucasian people are considered to have originated from the Caucasus Mountains which is now a part of Russia. Areas such as Europe, Australia, North Africa and the Middle East are considered to have a majority of Caucasian people.
