So you are basically saying that 'White' refers to language? Just exactly what language is "White'?

You can't switch back and forth, flip-flop or etch-a-sketch, are you referring to ethnic genetic differences (skin color) or cultural differences (language)?

Make up your mind, you are confusing the heck out of us.
The Aryan languages, generally, rough correspond to the Caucasian languages. Not to encourage concepts such as "a dolichocephalic dictionary or a brachycephalic grammar" (to use Max Muller's phrase) , but in ancient times, certain languages stood largely limited to certain ethnic groups (while not everyone today who speaks English counts as an Anglo-Saxon-Jut, in ancient times, this stood as the situation). With modern communications, it does stand as possible for those not descended from Anglos/Saxons/Juts to speak English, so it stands as helpful to differentiate between the two groups to see how the former do compared to those descended from Anglos/Saxons/Juts. 

In any event, the US government uses these designations as a guide to immigration, which fits appropriately for the theme of "immigration between media". Comic book heroes tend to retain more traits from their native media than other properties. See my thread on adaptations which had superimposed sound effects, etc. I note this as the pulp derived heroes have generally not matched up well with comic book derived heroes in recent years, usually not reaching $100 million domestically.
