Being cautious of white people is absolutely the right attitude. I have white skin, and too many times have I been talking to some white guy who I thought was fairly reasonable until they hit me with some shit and assume I'll agree because I'm a straight-passing white guy.
I 100% don't blame anyone who's sus of me because of my skin
White supremacy is the black hole at the center of liberal thought: not directly observable, but made apparent by how all of their other ideas orbit around it.
and assume I'll agree because I'm a straight-passing white guy.
It’s crazy just how true this is. And this is especially so when you’re a very generic NPC-looking white guy to boot. Nearly all chuds just assume if you look like them you think like them. It’s like, hey, you’re a white guy so you get tons of privilege, why would you ever want that to end?
my appearance is very much "basic white guy" jeans, T-shirt, and flannel most of the time. I've been talking to guys that I've worked with for months, long enough for me to start thinking "ok, sure maybe they're your average"nonpolitical" guys who don't bother with politics because they think it doesn't really affect them, maybe I can push some union ideas, stuff like that", then they heard something on the radio and start ranting about "alphabet people" and "groomers" all while my bi ass is standing there :im-in-danger: and I start thinking about a career change

You hit the core of what
people often either can't or won't understand; it's about systems, not individuals.
and now that you bring it up i wonder how much liberal capitalitalist hyper individuality and meritocracy contributes to protecting whote supremacy.
Western society does seem specifically designed to slap down all thoughts of analyzing social systems.
