They share some kind of common background that i call "peoplehood' which can bring them together. An analogy to this is that there exists no "hearing" club out there for all the hearing people, because such notion would be too lax in defnition.

You make a point in one part... however, being chinese, japanese, or korean is being asian. Therefore, asian is a race. Being irish, german, russian, english, or italian is being white. Therefore, white is a race.
If they want to be anal about me calling it a "White Club". Fine, I'll call it "Caucasian Club".
