Keep in mind that was all part of Indus/India territory (Hindu-Kush Mountains in Afghanistan is but one evidence of this). The Indus Valley civilization of the northwestern part of the subcontinent was an Aryan civilization. These peoples are the real Aryans because while Germans only rely on one evidence (pottery and earthenware discovered in the River Ode with Swastika's on them), much more evidence supports the "Aryan-ness" of people from Iran, parts of Afghanistan (those that have not been mixed with Semitic Arabian blood), and India (those that have not mixed, which many exist due to the caste system of India). Anyways, Caucasian and "white" and Aryan and "white" are not really interchangeable if you look at it from this historical point of view. Thats why I think the concept race-by-colors is baseless itself. Perhaps the concept of race is baseless too, because everything from body fat, facial/physical features, and skin color (the easiest of them all - simply melanin pigmentation), is relative to the climatic conditions.
how do you know all this? Are you Indian by any chance?
