How is it an insult to call them white? (I ask this as a white English person.)

Because white bundles up the continent as one anything goes hue.

Are you French? The French are white.
Are you Dutch? The Dutch are white.
Are you Russian? The Russian are white.

Or are you English and only English. And would rather people call you by your background versus your skin color? Your skin color is one aspect of yourself. By calling yourself English, you are making a clearer picture.

Right, so that's a generalisation, but it's not insulting. I mean, broad categories of race are inadequate and problematic, but the way you're narrowing things down seems just as problematic to me. You act like 'English' is some pure ethnicity, when it's not; you do know that we've been invaded by quite a few different countries in the past, right? So that's why the people above are saying that English != white, because the only meaningful sense of the word 'English' is 'people with English citizenship' rather than 'people descended only from 100% pure English stock'. (Technically I'm something like 1/16th Irish, and I have a sprinkling of German in me as well... does that mean I no longer qualify as English?)
