There are simple facts that indicate mongols were majority caucasian:

1--Western asia where mongols ruled has no genetic traces of mongolian people

2--Dominance of caucasian male and female dna(you can check out DNA map) in central Asia, even thought it is where the most mongolian admixture happens. The mongolian male admixture of central asian is 40% at most, the rest is western asian. The most asian mixed population is the uighurs, still the mongoloid influence is below 50% in general.

The lack of genetic traces in western asia, and minor influence in central asia do not support majority mongolian theory. All the admixtures in western and central asia point to a historical caucasian dominance.

I don't see how this has anything to do with the genetic makeup of the Xiongnu.

It is obvious there was NO yellow peril, but simply yellow meat.

Sorry, I posted the wrong link, I edited, check out again.

In the nomadic cultures it was the cavalry who were the hierarchy. I've checked up, xianbei bailu. However all this tells me is there could be the structure at that times as with the Xiongnu(Huns). If you check for other similarities elsewhere, you will find the same with the Yuezhi who would become the Kushan empire. None of this says that the Mongols were Caucasians at the time of Genghis Khan.

As I said, people who spend so much time studying genetic aspects on history is probably studying history for the wrong reason. People like these are bound to cherry pick findings. In fact that's precisely what you are doing now. There is no such thing as "Caucasian" DNA in the first place, so what you say is moot. You make it sound like there's some "Caucasian" gene in all Caucasians, or some "Mongoloid" gene in all Mongoloids. Race is just a social construct determined from certain physical characteristics. There is no single gene for it, nor can you determine which "race" has a dominant "admixture" in some region because the concept of race itself is unscientific.

Chinese sources did say the mongol were people with colorful eyes, also historical records also say during the mongol rule, average chinese must obey the people with colorful eyes. You may wonder why.

In ancient time, people did not attribute much to the racial features, but military ruler can be exception, it is why persian historian recorded his meeting with Ghengis Khan and his sons in particular and described their appearance. Persian historian may tried to describe Ghengis Khan as mongols representative in culture, race, power.

If anything as there were no sources saying mongols were caucasian, and there were also no sources claiming they were mongoloid.

This is almost as bad as Chinese being Egyption

It is simply truth, why it is bad?

The reth/chief egyptians were painted as the smallest built of all 4 people of Egypt, of course I may enjoy such possibility.

Ah, yes some Mongols had traits which were passed on, and Genghis Khan himself was reported to have red hair and green eyes. This doesn't make for the majority of Mongols being Caucasian.
