The term "white" was invented around a few hundred years ago by European colonial powers. It was specifically designed as a primitive form of social engineering by the British empire to (conveniently) separate European colonists from colonial subjects and slaves on the basis of skin pigmentation which became a kind of cruel "branding".
Every highschool student probably knows this but will pretend to not acknowledge when they define themselves by these silly outdated labels like I am a "white Caucasian". Belief in being "white" is akin to a mental illness. It's amusing because 99% of the people claiming to be Caucasian have never had one ancestor from the mythical race from the Caucasus mountains and (they may be shocked to learn) have lurking in their genome a few hundred dark skinned ancestors....
On the flipside when you get loons like the one screaming death to "wh***y" and shooting down innocent white folk - he actually also suffers from the same mental illness as he thinks the world is divided into white caucasians and "darkies"
The planet has enough problems without fanatics believing they are members of a construct that is based on fantasy
There's a lot of times that the etymology of a word or term doesn't reflect on how it's used currently. The word gay is often used as an example. I was reading someone telling a Christian that the word God was originally used for the pagan deity Wotan. Gospel is from the pagan term god spell. Easter is in reference to a pagan god of sex with bunnies and eggs representing procreating.
But that's not what any of it means now or how it's viewed and the origins are irrelevant when it comes to modern use.
My dad had to attend a mandatory very liberal racism awareness seminar in Seattle a few months ago. Basically it consisted of a young white feminist wearing a black lives matter pin, having them do a somewhat complex construct that ended showing how educated white males are the aggressors, oppressors, victimizers of the world and everyone else are their targets and victims. True story.
Note that the obviously very left presenter was the one who leaned heavily on the term white.
