Reply to just checking in. white people still don't exist right by twovests

i think its correct to say that the concept of whiteness is constructed based on the necessities of western imperialism. i think you can see that when you think about the borders of whiteness, eg anti-slavic rhetoric, white jewishness, anti-italian/spanish/greek racism due to their darker tones despite their european background (and position within european imperialism), etc. but i think that its also correct to say that white people as a category exist. i think its productive to highlight the contradictions in the ingroup/outgroup identification of whiteness and emphasise that whiteness is extremely heterogeneous in terms of genetics, background, etc. but i think it doesnt help that in your post you dont really elaborate on what you mean when you say "white people dont exist". like, at all? as a category? as a descriptor? as a race? i understand that you're thinking about white people in the Karen/Barbara Fields Racecraft social construct sense but not expanding on that in your writing means that your point isn't coming across

i think they should be forced to become street sweepers and janitors like the last emperor of China. on the other hand their diets of Huel and adderall is probably load bearing at this point. if you take that away theyll probably blow away with the wind

i recognise the difficulty of this guys position here but being like "🥺 we're just a smol bean technowogy startup... its so hard to get it right when we're three hundred thousand employees 🥺😭 i'm gonna have a chat with someone about this and i prommy it wont happen again 🥺🥺" is probably not the move that i want to see from a VP of one of the biggest technology companies in the world

in fairness about the tattoo that guy was literally too stupid to realise that he was permanently etching fascist logos onto his skin. he was in the military, its not exactly an academic environment
