This can get into some uncomfortable territory and into "how white is white enough/too white" when discussing ethnic groups. I'm not saying people of certain ethnic groups can't get by by "passing" but it can also lead to a statement of "oh they are from that ethnic group but not really because they look white". It is kind of erasing culture and such from a person. If someone is Christian Lebanese it doesn't make them any less Lebanese than if they are Muslim.
White isn't a culture or ethnicity. It's just an appearance and behavior that means the cops don't gently caress with you as much and you're less likely to be targeted for a hate crime. Their is Irish American culture, there is Midwestern culture, etc but there is no white culture etc. Johns does not get pulled over for his appearance, does not got to a place of worship likely to be shot up by some psycho, his accent does not get him refused service. He is white.

You are effectively indoctrinating them into an entirely different way of thinking. So it's going to take as much effort as raising a child. No single event is going to change anything.
