A common refrain I see from shitlib types against wignats is that "White" is a wholly social and American construct. They are more than happy to grant certain liberties: "white isn't a thing, English & German are things you should be proud to be those things"

The reason is two-fold: 1. this disarms any inquisitive young white person from acting within the frame of identity politics on their own behalf, funnels them into avenues that does not challenge the regime 2. They get to continue to lambast Whites explicitly on those terms.

Sure I'll accept that, "White" is a top-down approach with blurred lines (as is all language) used to denote difference between Europeans & Africans in early America. It aggregates all European Americans into this rather bland and deracinated term.

Shitlibs think saying such is a rhetorical coup de grace, but they don't understand that these 2nd, 3rd gen immigrants from MENA, Asia who have positions in media (who are often the ones most driving this notion home) are just as "White" as any Mick or Pollack.

These people are completely deracinated. They barely speak their mother tongue. They shop at Urban Outfitters. They have names like Sarah LMAO What, you eat spicy food and aren't as pale wypipo? Those are trifle matters.

Their parents, grandparents willingly gave up their homelands to come to America. They are rootless. They have given up all claims on being "ethnic"

The difference between our "Whiteness" (their use of the term) is that I am unbothered while it induces existential crisis within them.
