I feel we need a PSA on how white is a constructed term to reinforce white supremacy (a common tool of imperialism and capital) and is in itself a horrid way to group people (as it is also employed to destroy cultures of people as they are subsumed into the "white" category) but also that white is a self embraced title by many in America as a way to get into the in group and avoid out group status even on a subconscious level as well as reinforced in many American cultural aspects.

This comes from a mayo that really fucking hates the term white and would rather be refereed to as anything else.

In all honesty? That'd prolly work kinda, but I feel white culture besides being racist has nothing else monolithic that separates them compared to other ethnic groups in America (like everyone participates in St Paddys day and no one is really "Irish American"). Like in all truth white culture is really fucking hollow and is legit just consume, be racist, support the imperial machine, worship "Jesus", reproduce, then die with variations only existing if you are rich white (capitalist shit) or poor/working class white (i.e. buy a shitload of guns and abuse meth/alcohol/wife).

Honestly, I agree with the fact that white culture is like western culture, the top surface-level understanding of any European culture and American culture you have, with its bubbles, alienated to make a homogenous culture and thus create a superstructure above that...

On the other hand, you could celebrate your ethnic origins personally, in a more socialist-oriented national-liberation way than a national chauvinist one (eg. Welsh and Irish rebels), or do something for your local indigenous people...

I mean, damn your country and some of its people for all ye want personally, but don't be too hard on yourself...

Being anti-white shan't be anti-you (original text: not anti-European)

Note: you can be anti-European

Tbf, the introduction of Europe to the Americas was a major development in creating modern racism..
