White black brown, these are all inventions. We made them up relatively recently and they don't mean anything beyond amount of melanin in skin, which is a completely meaningless thing by itself. Just don't answer the question, it's fine. But don't be proud of it, that's weird

I think Argo means that racial identity categories do not "mean" anything in themselves--there's no trans-situational essence of whiteness, it doesn't signify anything--which is obviously correct. But of course these categories are meaningful.

He said we made it up based on melanin, which is meaningless. I agree melanin doesn’t really mean anything but that’s clearly a real thing that has…. Advised? Encouraged? Informed? people for most of our history. Right or wrong.

Nothing means anything by itself though. Subjective context is everything.
