"When he says “caucasian”, does he mean “white”? "

No, Caucasian = flesh, Albino = White

“Caucasian, literally, refers to people native to the Caucasus, but it has become interchangeable with any number of ‘White’ populations, most of wh1om trace their ancestry to Europe. One gets the feeling that the term ‘White’ fell out of favor and was replaced by ‘Caucasian’ much like ‘Black’ was replaced by ‘African-American’.”

Can I be named for a language like ‘Latinos’ instead?
