    LOL, I get this but let’s be real that most WS ARE in fact white people.

    This narrative that white people are trying to get traction that it’s actually PoC who are the REAL white supremacists is weird and untrue.

    “white” is an increbibly malleable category, anyway. At one point, the Irish (who are generally even lighter-skinned than the English due to higher percentage of gingers) were considered non-white. Nowadays, most people would consider Italians and Spaniards white, and there’s quite a few hispanic people who both look white and consider themselves white (due to being descended from European immigrants). There’s a similar dynamic in India, southern Indians are often darker than ‘black’ americans while many north Indians could pass as southern europeans.
