Indeed, does "White" = Caucasian race?
Judging from the opinions that come from within the WN community (far less the fact that they cannot even agree with each other), then I would have to say - No.
So it is more a construct based on ethnic background.
I know WN's who only consider NW Europeans to be "White.
I know other who only include W Europeans or N Europeans. Others would include any European proper. Not many would include Arabs or Turks or Iranians (yes, ok. PANF
), despite that fact that they are technically Caucasian as well.
So although ethnicity and cultural heritage are seen as something trivial and disposable, there would be no concept(s) of "White" without them
