For my entire life, I never cared about being White. I never saw Whites as a group. I have always had friends that are not White and always have enjoyed the fruits of other cultures. I still feel that way. I never cared about issues pertaining to White people until I noticed a significant effort by some to attack us, dehumanize and demoralize us.
I ask the question, why are some people surprised that White people are reacting and starting to form groups to defend themselves?
Here's a small handful of book titles that establish us as a group, attack us and dehumanize us. These titles are widely distributed in universities.
So, when some ask the question, "why do you care about being White and why do you even see White as a broad group?". I would counter with the question, "Why do so many want to put us in a group and attack us?".
Do you notice the names of the authors? Would they also be considered White? Do they call themselves that?
