I know the RW default reaction to language like that is to knee-jerk away from it but how it whiteness not a social construct? Or are you attempting to pretend it's purely a descriptor of fair skin and nothing else at all?
I'm not pretending anything. It's a descriptor of skin color and further an immutable characteristic. That's it. We shouldn't demonize people based on same or create these idiotic monoliths in which somehow whiteness is bad and basic social wants like a "right to comfort" or "individualism" is considered a hallmark of any sort of supremacy, as if Black people don't value either of those things.
Worse, this excrement is being foisted on children. By the time people are 18, if they want to expose themselves to bullshit social pseudoscience, that's on them and their right.
I can only imagine how it would go if I said Blackness is a social construct wrapped in a culture that accepts if not promotes a fatherless rate at 70%. No, blackness is a presence of melanin. That's it. Go ask any Haitian if they share the same cultural mores as someone from Nigeria, see what they tell you.
The idea that this ubiquitous oppressive structure comes solely from WyPiPo is divisive, social poison that seeks to bind people of all sorts of different nationalities in the same basket.
The Jewish experience is not the same as the Slavic is not the same as the Irish.
