Non-white? Where do they get this #$%p? Indian is Caucasian. Caucasian, yes, but darker skinned than a Nordic Caucasian.
I guess the variation in skin tone makes the Caucasians the most inclusive race?...

The US census racial classifications guidance lists persons from India as “Asians.” The official US definition of “Caucasian” or “white” is, and I quote: “White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as “White” or report entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Near Easterner, Arab, or Polish.”
And the official government guidance on “Asian” is as follows: “Asian. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. It includes “Asian Indian,” “Chinese,” “Filipino,” “Korean,” “Japanese,”
“Vietnamese,” and “Other Asian.”
