Ok, but if this is true [1], and it’s also necessarily true by your previous claims that Whites have different culture than Blacks in general, then why not capitalize White, since it is a name for a culture.
[1] given that Jews are usually considered ‘white’, and many Jews in fact do have distinct cultures - e.g. Brooklyn Jews, it’s hard to argue this.
- jakelazaroff 5y ago“Jews” is too broad a term. Ashkenazim are generally considered white, for instance, but not Sephardim and Mizrahim.
- zepto 5y agoIf you substitute Ashkenazim for Jews, the logic still holds.
