    Good bit. I like to point to historical examples of this to try to gaslight white people into realizing they’re not white and should join the rest of if but it hasn’t worked so far.

    Examples: HP Lovecraft’s extreme racism against Irish, Italians, and Eastern Europeans.

    The Governor of Saint Paul MNin the mid-late 1800s explicitly said Finnish immigrants weren’t white and we have a sizable population of their descendants here so now I tell Finns that they aren’t white and have to get involved in POC liberation

    Given that whiteness is a cursed social construct that needs to be broken down by balkanizing it into separate ethnic groups, this is totally praxis and not just a weird way for me to vent the racial trauma of being a terrorist race in AmeriKKKa
