Yes, Celts are Caucasian. I just didn't want to sound like I was saying Celtic to the exclusion of other Caucasians.
Based on language (if you define a Caucasian as being someone who is descended from speakers of Proto-Indo-European), I don't believe Semites are would be included. Semitic languages are not related.

Actually Caucasian is more a racial term than a linguistic. By that basis, SEmites, Dravidians and Indo-Europeans are all Caucasians. SOmeone descended from the speakers of proto-Indo-European I'd call Aryan. And I think its about time we liberated a description like that from it's abuse by the nutzis
