it is necessary once we acknowledge that the definition of 'white' shifts every few decades.

then: Mexicans white, Jews not.

now: Jews white, Mexicans not.

based on political convenience, mostly. who is the 'bad guy' of this decade or two? ok, they are no longer white.

other examples abound. italians? eastern europeans?

New Orleans used to have over a dozen categories of 'race' that defined what privileges you were or were not eligible for.

EDIT: most prominent example of why it isn't redundant is because President Obama is Anglo-Saxon (and Luo, on his father's side), but not considered white. Thus, he isn't a WASP.

Caucasian
African American
Asian
Hispanic (All races)
