    Hot take but racial identity in general is fucked as a concept. You like your skin color? Cool me too. Don’t base your personality around it.

      Racial identity other than white identity has largely arisen in response to white supremacy, at least in the West.

      ie “If you say nonwhite is bad, fuck you, we’re going to say nonwhite is good”

      Insofar as it is involved in combating White identity politics and the associated cultural hegemony, it’s positive, and will likely continue to be needed in the near-future. But in the long-term, yes, it’s silly. Race is just a social construct.

        Yeah I agree with that. Of course, through the distortion of media, that is how most people who support white identity see their own cause as well. “The liberal media and elites constantly put down white people and tell us we should be ashamed, so fuck you we are going to say that white is good”.
