Whiteness was expanded to maintain a white majority when some BIPGM were granted human status legally.
Whiteness can be taken away as easily as it was granted, based on whatever's most convenient for those in power.

Race is a social construct.
When my great grandmother immigrated to Canada from Eastern Europe over a century ago, she was not considered to be white.
Today, no one would doubt her being white.
