Racial Classifications?

If the terms Caucasoid, *******, and Mongoloid are no longer in scientific use, then why are they still used in the United States census to describe what "race" a person belongs to? For example not all Caucasians or at least those who are considered Caucasian originated from the Caucasus and/or Caucasus Mountains so why should the term Caucasian apply to them? Wouldn't that be an inaccurate way of describing what "race" that person and/or person's ancestors originated from?

Update:

Sorry for submitting the question twice, I had no way to edit the question.
