What counts as an ethnic group if people of the great western tradition and European decent don’t? The only difference with whites is that it’s the most widely appropriated and emulated ethnicity.
Seems like you’re making a semantic argument more than anything then. When people say Asian they know there are many different cultures within there, but Asian people still share more in common with other Asians than they’ll tend to with other cultures and races, and calling people ‘white’ functions similarly and works pretty well.
