I meant random more like they’ll come up with anything to justify it.
If you start really pressing them on the genetics argument about how groups like the Irish and Italians didn’t used to be white in America, that whiteness encompasses so many distinct regions simply on the basis of skin tone, that people of color can sometimes be born with white passing skin tones, etc., then suddenly they come up with something else a lot of the time or change their argument in bad faith.
Reactionaries almost always use argument as a means of domination not out of genuine perspective. If you ruin their argument they’ll just learn to argue it in a different way, because the beliefs exist only to justify their supremacy to others, and to a degree to themselves.
