You're repeating yourself and ignoring arguments already made.
"White" has changed in definition over time. English expanded to include French, expanded to include Irish/Scottish, expanded to include Germanic/Nordic, expanded to include Slavic, expanded to include (some) Hispanics... it's pretty much always been changing.
And for a good 50 years, it's just devolved into a term of convenience. We haven't had concerted "racial construction" for decades.
You paint a totalizing picture that's dusty, faded and old. It's not a relevant stance in today's America, except insofar as it enables these totalizing activist narratives (for political and economic purposes, every time).
