whiteness is a social construct of course but the irish are white europeans. if you want a logically consistent definition of whiteness that doesnt change with time like re jews and italians then the only logical definitions of it are either "not subsaharan african and not east asian and not any asian or sub-saharan african derived indigenous population" in which case arabs, indians (of india) and many other groups considered non-white would be white. or theres the definition which is logically sound but messy of "fair skinned" in which case some arabs are white and others like yemenis arent and some indians like northerners are white but not the tamils.
