It's not on a whim, it's calculated and aimed carefully at groups that powerful people see as a threat want to dehumanize. It's so specific that we used to have the one-drop rule, so if you appeared white and lived your life as a white person but it was discovered at some point that you had any black relatives somewhere on your family tree, surprise you officially weren't white and never had been. You can even see who are officially not white at the moment by looking at the national census options for ethnicity (although there is still that vague "Other" option).

The thing is, categorizing on a whim would make more sense because anthropologically, there are no clear cut racial lines, no cutoff point where one race ends and another begins. So yeah. Your confusion makes as little sense as ours. Oop.

In what situation would cops or people interviewing you for a job be looking at your family tree to see if you have a great-great-grandfather who's not white?

Whiteness is almost entirely contingent on appearance and cultural signifiers; name, outward identification, etc. If you appear to be white, you're going to be treated like you're white in every situation that matters in terms of your material wellbeing.
