According to Chinese history records, Xiongnu and other Central Asia steppe people were mostly Mongoloid. None would ever pass as white. Very few would pass as Caucasian. Only a minority could even be considered mixed Mongoloid-Caucasoid like the Xinjiang Uighurs. Most were simply pure Mongoloid like Mongolians or Jurchen.
Xiongnu has absorbed some Iranic-speaking Scythians, while some Uighurs were actually some Turkified Tocharians, hence this is what those white caucasoid influences came from.
