      Only racist boomers and fascists use 19th century “race science” terminology in the 21st century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race

          In this context I think it’d be most appropriate to say European history, and one can additionally specify a region of Europe if necessary. But I am no historian
