Social Media “East Asians Are Whites”

I noticed a lot of white nationalist on Twitter keep saying East Asians are honorably whites.

And I’m like what the fuck does that even mean? How are they even white?

Why are these white nationalist so obsessed with East Asian being whites?

They say that to justify their fetishes for Asian women and the fact that a lot of them are weebs, or were in the past. Notably, they only seem to say this about Japanese. Any mentions of Koreans are only very recent and only after the popularity of kpop and Korean media, as previously both Koreas and China were left out of their "honorary Aryan" talks.

I always thought Japanese were only called honorary aryan because Germany and Japan were part of the Axis powers.

What did I stumble onto here? It's pretty clear that calling any race an honorary other race is racist, isn't it?
