Sorry I accidentally posted a reply before I had finished writing it on the last post about middle easterners and white/caucasians (and I don't know how to remove/edit it so). I just don't really understanding why they wouldn't be considered caucasians since many middle easterners come from the caucasus or nearby?

The reason is sadly simple: Americans were racist. First, “white” = “caucasian,” in American English. And “white” = “light-skinned from the right countries in western Europe,” in American minds. Therefore, “white” /=/ middle easterners. No matter the geographical reality!
