History just not your bag, eh? Prior to 1600 or so, the entire US was a non-white area of the world.
False.

Kennewick man wasn't a white man, cite better sources than that.
Why don't you cite a source that proves that claim?

Clovis People
Kennewick Man is the most complete and best preserved skeleton compared to the seven other ancient Caucasoid skeletons that have been found in America. These are known as the Clovis people, named after the discovery of one skeleton near Clovis in New Mexico. Most of the skeletons have been found in the western United States where the climate has been drier and less acidic, allowing for longer preservation.
The artifacts and skeletons of the Clovis people differ from those of the ancestors of Native Americans. For example, bone needles were found near Kennewick Man indicating the sewing of textiles, not used by the early Paleo-Indian populations.
The discovery of Kennewick Man has further increased the debate about the origin or origins of human populations in the Americas. While modern populations appear to have arrived in one single migratory wave, there is not enough evidence to conclude about the origins of the more ancient Caucasoid populations who appear to have arrived over 8000 or more years ago during an ice age when they would have been big game hunters. Many still debate the the identity of Kennewick man and the possibility of the Clovis people being Caucasoid or ancestors of the Native Americans.
