Does the term “Caucasian” only refer to white people, or does or can it refer to Caucasoids overall?

IE is only a linguistic term nothing else, so we are talking about the language. This is the problem that you think IE is a racial or genetical thing.

The separation between Caucasian groups is by language:

Hamitics (North Africans)
Semites
Indo-Europeans

It’s used a lot here in America and it basically just means white passing. No one here knows what actual Caucasians are.

I don’t think the term Caucasian is ever used to refer to non-white Caucasoids in North America is it?

Speaking of Caucasian, Survivor is on at this moment on CBS and only 6 of the 18 contestants can possibly or perhaps pass as Whites. It's apparently the new virtue-signaling woke Survivor from now on.

The only thing that matters in a word is that meaning is understood. I use the term Caucasian because people know what I am referring to; I use Caucasoid interchangeably. All Caucasians, whether they come from Europe, Central Asia, South Asia, or MENA, are in general more closely related to each other than any other group. We are, in fact, genetic cousins. I am not saying that European should throw their countries open to mass immigration from other Caucasian countries. There is more to be considered about immigration than how closely people are related.

I am just saying we are closely related. All Caucasoid come from the same family that lived on the Eurasian steppes before the last Ice Age. I have a little theory about how we came about. Because we look so different than pure Negroid people, I believe we are a mixture of OOA Negroid and Neanderthals. I do not know if Neanderthals raped blacks or it was the other way around, but I doubt it was voluntary. History shows the when two peoples mixed; it was most often because women were captured and forced to have sex. Some people are embarrassed to have Neanderthal genes, but I am not; one can’t help what one is. It is like that great American philosopher Popeye said, “ I ams what I am, and that is all that I am.”

The first definitions I come across on google when I search up “Caucasian” are “white-skinned, of European origin” and “relating to the Caucasus” and “a person from the Caucasus”, looks like from Oxford Languages. There is no mention of the concept of caucasoids overall here. When you search up “Caucasian” on google, are those the first definitions you see as well as me?

While I acknowledge that the concept of race has been exaggerated, misinterpreted, and manipulated throughout history, I think it’s going too far for that Wikipedia article to say that the concept of race is obsolete (outdated) and disproven. Race definitely exists. Even small children can notice that easily. Race is basically the physical variations of humanity, that follow clear geographical patterns, that’s most likely the results of environmental and sexual adaptations. No one can deny that can they? That’s the most simple concept of race, no more, no less. No inference on mental capacities or morality here. I don’t see why that should be so controversial, and that’s just speaking of superficial physical appearances, when genetics and anatomy gets involved it gets more complicated, but even that shows clear groupings, even if all humans are over 99% similar, there’s still a tiny bit of room for variation, that follows clear pattern groupings, otherwise we’d all be clones, which I don’t think we are.

Although I would personally prefer the term 'Caucasian' to be used for only the peoples of Northern Caucasia, I agree with you as I also notice the same thing. Caucasus is known as the land of Sakh (Dakh)/Scythian and maybe thats why it has been called the land of white peoples. Some genuine prototypes from Daghestan:
