So you’re implying that Middle Persian ‘*Kaf kōf’ is halfway the same as Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀯𐀹𐀊 ‘a-si-wi-ja’ or /aswijaː/? Do you have any evidence to support your claim?

USian brain on display, ladies and gentlemen.
You mean the word ‘Caucasian‘? Sorry, but that’s probably unrelated to ‘Asia’. Folk etymology is fun, but always falls apart in practice.
Meanwhile stupid USians subscribe to the literal 19th-century ‘scientific racism’ theory that has ‘Caucasian people’ as something other than deeply tan skin that Caucasian people actually have.
Wrong again, US boy. ‘Caucasian’ actually included most of Asia, since ‘Mongoloid’ only properly described East-Asians like the Chinese, Mongols, Siberian natives etc. Indians and Arabs (i.e.Aryans) were included in ‘Caucasians’, although the definition was debated.
Also, the ‘scientific racism’ theory was thought up at the University of Göttingen in Germany, when the US was just a few years old.
