Why do you identify as white tho? The US census bureau classifies me as “white” but I’ve never felt even the barest twinge of identification with that fiction and I can pass
i’m not sure what identifying as white means but cops think i’m white and it seems like i have white privilege so for eeoc purposes or whatever i’m a honkey and i’m not sure checking “other” or “prefer not to say” is meaningful
Basically when you observe terms like White American or American (I’m assuming you’re American sorry) which label do you connect with more, which one looms largest in your awareness? When you see a group of white nationalists march in the streets on TV, even if you have a negative reaction, do words like “we”, “us”, “me” pepper your internal monologue when observing those groups of people?
That’s what I mean by identifying, not simply as some detached intellectual understanding of the perception other people have of you, but as a personnel, emotional, and social awareness of yourself
i’m pretty down on my nationality too. there’s christian dominionist freaks who loudly identify as their religious affiliation their gender and their citizenship in some order and i’m over here primarily identifying as “person”. america is trash and needs to be thrown away, to put it mildly.
when i see things like the nazi march in ohio it’s “wish i was there on a roof with a rifle”

wait you dont fill it out yourself? ive never taken the census.
I mean I do, but I don’t check the white dot, so according to the US government I don’t know who I am, or I’m a race traitor or something lmao
I love living in a racialized police state
i see. yeah honestly they way it works is so confusing. congrats on being a race traitor!
