It was me before but I actually agree with you. I think the use of caucasian 
to describe a differant dairy variation is unlikely and like you said it's 
prob just another name for the same drink! Still, I was taught (possibly 
wrongly) that that's what the differant name means. If someone orders a 
caucasian or a white russian  from me I generally ask what dairy mixer they'd 
like in it!
