There is no such thing as the "white race". English, Spanish, German, Jewish, Italian, Irish - sure.

"White" is a legal construct that was created in Virginia in 1691, and white was "English and other white peoples", and "not negro and not indian"

The very basis of "white" isn't a definition, as much as it is a negation of 2 other groups. (Now, it is also not middle eastern and not Asian as well.)
