<<there are some 'white men' who are muslims too (though we are rare>>
as a muslim you are know longer in this ethnic group but belong to and have identity with the nation of muhammad and have allegiances to allah, muhammad, and the believers.
inama al-muminun al-ikhwat surat al-hujurat
islamically white is a creation or biological marker and not an ethnic group as rasool allah(alahi salaam) said "......there is not a black nor a red that enters into my ummat except that he is one of them." musnad ahmad; as explained by ad-dhahabi that all of mankind falls into this physical description of being light skin or dark skin. (my words) however in his statement you see his(alahi salaam) statement of being in his ummat. ethnic wise every muslims is based around abu qasim's(alahai salaam) sunna. our sayyid imaam an-naas rahamat-ul-alameen
so making color into a ethnic marker is an incorrect ethnic division whereas if you were to look at a persons true ethnic division you must examine rasool's statement " whoever imitates a people are one of them" abu dawood ; in this you see the messengers(alahi salam) definition of a person being that what he portrays and education as is stated in his saying(alahi salaam) "every person is born on the fitra but it is his mother and his father who make him a christian, a jew, or magian" bukhari. A convert denies and repudiate his upbringing to adopt the straight religion which consist of many direction for life.
