White isn't a real racial category

Yes it is. White is a biological race which differ genetically from blacks, amerindians or east asians.

Asians are white.

Aren’t American Indians and Asians technically classified as under the same race - Mongoloid?

The number of races is arbitrary. You can classify them as the same race but you can also divide them up, because they do cluster separately but they are closer together than other races. That the number of races is arbitrary doesn't mean you can group people together arbitrarily, because the genetic difference is still the foundation for the classification, it has more to do with where you draw the line.

You are correct, depending on the method you use.
