Part of being “white” is getting to decide who is “white.” This is only possible because “white” is a completely made up category. We shouldn’t even engage with the term.
Irish immigrants, of all people, weren't considered white until like the mid 1900s.
Fair point but it's so deeply rooted. Don't we have to engage with it to some extent in order to eliminate it?
I’ll just let my comment above stand as an example of how I think it should be engaged with. You can recognize that it’s a fantasy people have without participating in the fantasy.
Old English saying "The wogs begin at Calais."
Meaning if you aren't English you really aren't White.
