In general, "unrolling" the present state of social identity (class, race, gender, etc) into a family history is I think a useful move to defuse the many bombs lurking in taking about society/culture. Identitarianism is curiously ahistorical at a *personal* level (not group)

Makes sense that identitarianism is ahistorical, as it’s often served by ‘blank slate’ thinking.

It is decidedly not ahistorical. It is just class/community history focused. Just as the right is genetic history focused. Just different pairs of blank/full slates. Everybody is historicist where it seems convenient, blankslatist where it seems inconvenient.
