Dude, "whiteness" is not an ethnic heritage; it's a skintone. Being German or Dutch or Sami is heritage, and European POC can claim that, too; trying to "preserve whiteness" is a racist dogwhistle used by people afraid of miscegenation because they believe in white supremacy.https://twitter.com/karkas132/status/1000950149185589248 …

Okay, lets try to find some even footing here than. So say a German person of color talks about being proud of being black or middle eastern etc, and encourages how their fellow POC should only date/procreate with fellow POC's, is this black/arabian/asian etc supremacy?

Foz Meadows @fozmeadowsWhite ppl "preserving [white] culture" pretty much IS Nazism, dude. Whiteness is a skin colour, NOT a culture; only racists conflate the two. Black culture is black culture because slavery, racism & diaspora stripped away other cultural heritage; whiteness exists WITHIN culture. https://twitter.com/GythjaDawn/status/1000934244825300994 …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

So basically what you are saying, is that if POC do the same thing that you are complaining about 'white' people doing, its not equivalent to racism or acts towards supremacy? That is a ridiculous double standard.

No; what I'm saying is that there's a contextual difference between people who've been robbed of their heritage & murdered for their skin forming a new cultural identity around celebrating the blackness that saw them enslaved, and white people arguing that whiteness needs saving.

Thats still a double standard, I have absolutely 0 issue with black people or asians or arabians or what have you being proud of their heritage that lead to them having the skin tone that they have but implying that its wrong for whites to do the same is well quite frankly racist

And there's where you're making your error: their pride is in their CULTURE, not their skin, whereas white pride in white skin is irrevocably founded on white supremacist ideas.

inhabitants which would be people of a white skin tone. For instance I have never once claimed to be proud of being white, but I do say that i am proud to be of Scandinavian heritage which just so happens lead to me having white skin

The Celts, the Goths, the Angles and Saxons all had different racial conceptions of themselves; those markers have blurred over centuries, but very little of it was founded on modern definitions.
