“Actually, he is Muslim therefore he cannot be white because I do not consider Muslim people to be white. I am very progressive.” Or or “ he is Turkish and Turkish people cannot be white, despite Turkish people being white, this is a anti-racist statement”
this is the “western” struggle session over again where some users think it’s a good thing to be “white” and “western” and get offended when you point out comprador lackeys on the fringes of the white supremacist western system are not actually full on card carrying members of the evil empire, that they will be tossed aside and made “brown” and “foreign” as soon as they are no longer useful.

“ Actually, I am literally Hitler reincarnate, and my view of who is and isn’t white is the most accurate one”

This is a BIPOC thread, actually.
We're not having a struggle session.
It’s the same argument re-hashed is my point
I don't think we're at the point where we're arguing either haha
I kinda see this as mainly a discussion.
At least, nobody is fighting with each other, I think.
A Chechen is white so long as they don’t mention they’re Muslim.
When a well to do black conservative says that racism is over and they're treated as white, do you believe them?
As a Turk, I don't consider myself white.
