someone who is English and Swedish would not be because they are just white
Nah that’s still a mix, a mix of two things commonly referred to as ‘white’ currently. The standards of ‘which races are white’ has changed over the last hundred years.

> "which races are white" This is really misleading. Races don't exist out there. They are categories we invented. White is one of those categories. We don't put races into racial categories. We don't put some races in the white category. We put people in the racial categories. Race is ONLY the category. There's no other reality to it other than the choice to categorize.
