He's being pretty clear, and your response is a little obtuse.
He's not saying that nobody called themselves "white" before 1950.
He's saying that the demographics of "whiteness" in the mid-1800s are different than the demographics of "whiteness" now, and so the term is arbitrary.
Oh wait!
Is what it is, you clearly already have your conclusion.
P.S. northern chinese make fun of southern chinese (cantonese), does that preclude their ethnicity and culture? I fail to see how targeting Irish means anything. Chinese target their own sub-ethnicities all day long. As does every other ethnic group.
