It's an increasingly decaying social construct that will die out as capitalism and bigotry wilt on the vine and get buried underground with the boomers that keep it going presently.
Isn’t white = primarily of European descent?
this is how it’s always been idk why op confusing this
yes people “act” white based on american/western standards but that’s just how you are perceived
Why did she hate whites
I guess just white american culture in general. I remember we were at red lobster and the white server from a different table asked her how her meal was and she f***ing snapped once he walked off. She was like “thats how white people be getting killed they don’t mind their f***ing business.” I had to calm her down she was ranting hard asf and inside I was laughing cause like I’m thinking to myself like b**** you're white 😂.
She legit had the mindset white people were oppressing her. And would badmouth every white person she had a chance to, no faking I f***ed her in her sister apartment in her roommates bed cause her roommate was white and didn’t get along with her sister. Made her squirt on the sheets and everything
She also embraced Detroit culture a lot so that probably had a lot to do with it. Not that every nigga in the D is racist but she prolly heard a lot of racist s*** from her people living in the suburbs directly outside of Detroit which is an area that is still racist to this day, but used to be blatantly racist before social media came around. She would always be saying like white people suck and stuff like that. Maybe out if self hate cause of her skin tone, but I got the feeling she legit didn’t see herself as white despite being Albanian.
It's entirely socially constructed and therefore malleable and changing
this is actually true, thats the main contention of systemic white supremacy/"whiteness" is that it is a social construct, race was created by and for white supremacy in some type of hierarchical structure
This is why I laugh when people try to clown “white culture”. It’s literally like 20 distinct cultures that were brought here by immigrants within the last 100 years or so.
“White culture” is essentially the end product of the culture of your heritage being watered down by capitalism and racism in order to define itself against the culture of African Americans, Latinos and Native Americans

yeah, its f***ed up what the assimilation of whiteness does
basically it congeals your culture to a monotony
theres a reason the OG immigrant culture is basically lost among most of the irish, germans, scots, etc., compared to other non-white ethnic groups, they became assimilated within that construct
its interesting and quite odd how white supremacists use the diversity of european cultures to give their arguments "more standing", but the thing they are fighting for actively destroys that diversity of culture and tradition among different peoples

That’s one of the crazy things about America. All the free real estate in the west and then eventually in the suburbs, melted down all these cultures into being american so that companies could sell it back to people.
And so that white people could believe that because they have a house, two kids and a dog, that they were superior to black people in the inner cities.

Summed it up real well

Irish niggas and Italians used to beef heavily back in the day I think but then society taught them why hate each other when we can blame niggas/POC for everything
I ask because many times I’ve seen fair skin people get insulted when they’re called white
I’ve seen it with Armenians, Spaniards, and middle eastern people
i have a close friend who is cuban whose skin is WHITE
i called him white and he was offended, he said his skin color was "yellow"
dude is white. maybe he conflated me calling him white with calling him caucasian, but really i jus meant his skin color is white (which it is) and he denied it.
call urself whatever u want but imo if your skin is white, you're white
