I can think of Britons, Slavs, Iberians, Scandinavians. Just like I can think of Congolese, Nigerians, Ethopians for black (if they could remember where their ancestors came from). So yeah I think there are multiple white and black races.
That the words have other meanings is irrelevant
When the other meaning can be a valid usage of the word in context and is intended as such, its completely relevant. The people can be described as white, which means its a traditional coloration usage of the word.
My point isn't that it isn't valid to capitalize it, its that if someone chooses not to its not some 4d political stance they are dogwhistling. Its more likely they are just defaulting to their form of basic grammar without thinking about it.
The Left created a shadow, and its doing more work making us paranoid and fight amongst ourselves than it did to "validate or invalidate" their racial superiority views.
A race is a group of people with shared physical and/or historical ancestry. The fact that all those various whites can be denoted based on their differentiating physical features alone in a large quantity makes them a unique race.
"White" or "European" or even "Caucasoid" is the pulled back supercategory of race that all of them belong to, to denote their much wider differences away from the Negroid (black) and Mongoloid (yellow, red, brown) categories of race.
I'll grant you, I don't know enough about Africa to know their broad racial categories and just picked three countries I could remember offhand.
All the things you mentioned that are not White/Caucasian/European Descent synonyms are cultural or ethnic groups, not races.
In your view, the highest level of ancestry grouping doesn't have a name for itself, it's just "supercategory". That's never how naming works, the highest level always has the name.

Yeah it does, its called human. It begins there to differentiate us from the other apes. Then it breaks down into the big three, which are hugely vague but still noticeable separations. And then it just keeps breaking down to more and more specialized groupings.
I cannot even follow your logic any longer beyond "nu uh."
