As if White is not also ethnic. Though one could argue that White is not an ethnicity since ethnicity is more fine grained that race. But then if one argues that then the same would apply to Black, or Asian.
"asian" at least makes some sense since the features you think of are mostly found in that one area, but "black" and "white" are completely fucking useless. The terms are neither fully based on skin colour nor just about where someone is from, it's utterly arbitrary whether someone is black or white.
Like "black" seems to basically just means afro-american, and "white" somehow includes spaniards but not japanese people, so what the fuck is even the point
it's such a fucking anglo thing to categorize people like this.
