The Irish weren't for awhile, either. What's really wild is [this case] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Bhagat_Singh_Thind) where an Indian man argued that he was white due to being Aryan, but the Supreme Court ruled that his argument did not contain a "common sense" definition of whiteness. So, the highest court in the land determined that whiteness is purely based on vibes.

Wow, I had no idea that case existed. It really shows how dumb the concept of race is.
