Should white people be allowed in the conversation of multiethnicity?

There is no such thing as "white" people. The only people who even fit that label, are people who consider themselves to be "white", IE aren't educated to or just don't care at all about their own roots and family background.

Tell that the the UK Government and Europe. I am "White British". There is also "White Other". So you will find that I am defined as "White" in law.

That's really true across all races. Black Americans (and Afro-Caribbeans that you'll find in the UK) have it differently because slavery just sort of mixed up all the ethnicities, so black became just black, as far as anyone can gather.

Of course, it also comes from perspective, and how close you are to your roots that allows you to be recognized as distinct. In Lagos, you're an Ibo, in London, a Nigerian, in New York, just Black. (could also work with the UK, being a Welshman in London, a Brit in Cairo, and a "white guy" in Bangkok.)
