    Whiteness is an arbitrary construct used to exclude outgroups and set legislation that justified their brutalization of exploitation.

    At certain points in history, Slavic people, Italian people, Irish people, and Jews were considered non-white.

    It's a false equivalence to compare individuals being anti-white to the recent forms of racism (separate schools and water fountains) or ongoing forms of racism (redlining, media narratives around looting, policing).
