Yup. Caucasians are from Iceland to India.

That depends hugely on how you define your terms -- terms that, for the most part, don't have a scientific definition. While the "Aryan" race is said to have its origins in the subcontinent -- and the Nazis even sent an expedition to Tibet to chart its roots -- most of the current occupants of India are described as Dravidian.

As with most questions of "race," Jindal's race comes down to the only definition that ever counted, "I know it when I see it." Is Jindal "non-white?" Look at him. Duh.

Not quite. Indians are a mixture of many races/ethnic groups, depending on what part of the country you are in.

Besides, the only true caucasians are Armenians and Georgians.

Not only are they Caucasians, they are Aryans. Doesn't mean they are "white". Some are darker skinned than others, but all are darker than the vast majority of Europeans. Oh there might be some overlap between the lightest Indians and the darkest Europeans.

But then again, who cares?

>> Indians from India are Caucasions. <<

Indians from India are classified as "East Asian" (even though they're not oriental)

They are considered this scientifically speaking, yes. But some of them have beautiful dark skin even darker than mine. Isn’t that interesting?
