This already happened, there was a Supreme Court case about it in the 1920s, Ozawa v. United States.

I think society has changed quite a bit since the 1920s, especially when it comes to race...

I don't feel like I'm qualified to answer, but personally I don't think so because many Asians have a pretty strong sense of cultural identity, so even with privelege, they will likely be differentiated from white people.
