It’s an ethnic group with an associated religion. I don’t know about race in the sense it’s used today, but it makes sense to disentangle it from White here given its wildly divergent pattern. That said, White here presumably still includes other populations originating in Asia and Africa that aren’t likely to be considered White colloquially.
