It’s a cultural label rather than one based on the phony, divisive, and exclusionary one of ‘race’. (And yes, I don’t care for other ‘racial’ labels either. I prefer we all always use cultural ones.) Whether you or many other Anglos want to admit it or not, the cultures of your individual ethnicities are not being passed on from generation to generation most of the time. How many German-Americans speak German, even one word of it? None that I ever met. How many know anything about German culture except brautwurst and beer on Wurstfest? Whether you want to admit it or not, most Anglos have completely assimilated to the Anglo-American culture with no qualms. Their old ethnicities mean little except how they spell their last name. Now if you do know more, that’s admirable. But in that case, why not just call yourself what you are, Irish-German rather than ‘white’? Because unless you’re an albino, your skin is not ‘white’.
