No, it definitely does not. Cacasians always been white people of euro decent. Not that someone out there isn't using it wrongly, but white people does not include brown people.

You are right that 'white people' does not include 'brown people'. Quite an odd thing to say though.
You are not right about the definition of 'Caucasian' though and definitely not about it 'always been...'.
Even the term 'Caucasian' used for people from the Caucasus region is older.
The term 'Caucasian' is misused in colloquial American English.

The Caucasian race (also Caucasoid[1] or Europid[2]) is a grouping of human beings historically regarded as a biological taxon, including some or all of the populations of Europe, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, Western Asia, Central Asia and South Asia.
