    Boring meal on Christmas eve?

    So it’s not about DNA yet it is about being “descended” from these people whose culture was uniquely evil? This sounds very, very like essentialism.

    The convenience of the “rationalisation” is in any case moot if the person you’re addressing does not even accept your label of them (“white”). What do you propose to do about that problem? Tell them that you know what invented category they belong to better than they do?

    What a mess! I resubmit my simpler solution: we are all humans, there is only one species, we are all implicated in its successes and failures, end of story.
