Maybe the word he's looking for is more restrictive than "white". Maybe what he's looking for is "extremely white", or "European".

Good point, Carl. I still think we are taking Hersh's barroom talk much more seriously than it deserved or, for that matter, than he probably intended.

As for racial classifications, I consider them to be only social constructs. You won't get me into too deep a conversation about the biological aspects. Remember that the British, for a very long time, considered the Irish a separate race.
