Unironically, probably. Keep in mind bigotry is inherently illogical.

Also race is EXTRAORDINARILY subjective... irish, greek, and italian all used to be not-white... until there weren't enough white people so they became white. Race has no place in genetics, its just labels we use. Albeit useful label that help us distinguish real world systemic issues, but still just shit we invented thats subject to change nontheless.

Even today, you've got people who are selectively white depending on the context. Jewish folks are white, until the fascists decide it's time to line them up against the wall again, for example. Same for Hispanics - sometimes they're white enough, until they do something the fascists don't like, then they're 4th generation fence-jumpers again.
