Indeed, the very term "Caucasian" refers to the Caucasus mountain region, a swath of land between the Black and Caspian Seas, and includes countries such as Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Iran. Modern Caucasians are in fact a minority population in the former Soviet Russian region and face Russian nationalist xenophobia, usually due to their Islamic roots.[1] This apparently does not stop certain white supremacist groups from using the term.
In the United States, it is used by governments and other organizations as a race classification which can include individuals of Hispanic ethnicity.
