Most people here consider all West Eurasian peoples as Caucasian.

I think Caucasian = white is more of a USA thing, but most of them probably don't know what or where the Caucasus is

Do you consider East Africans as Casuasian?

It depends on what you mean
In the outside world everyone equates caucasian with white
Here it is probably only referring to Caucasian People like Georgians and Dagestanis etc
I think the term you mean is Caucasoid
