I donโt think he likes all white people I think he may be ethnist especially since he only listed the two or three white ethnic groups in combination while there were many more white ethnic groups that helped build American culture also heโs leaving out African-Americans
No, this is ethnism heโs actively calling for cultural erasure which ethnicity has everything to do with heritage and culture he wants to erase people heritage American culture has always been multicultural and multiethnic
Not necessarily true Scots-Irish is a separate ethnic group in Northern Ireland and Iโm part Scots-Irish American my ancestors came from Northern Ireland
It is different from Irish and Scottish culture, I donโt support his use of my ethnic heritage for ethnism I donโt he has Scots-Irish heritage
Iโm an American of Scots-Irish, Pennsylvania Dutch, Italian, and English heritage and I donโt appreciate him co-opting some of my ethnic heritage for mass assimilation and cultural erasure of any other ethnic group in the US the US is a country built by many ethnic groups
what he wants is a ethnism
Itโs ethnism and racism together
A 1930s negatives envelope. The text reads "don't store away those prints of which you are so proud". The "arm" on letter R is broken in a way that looks like an apostrophe. Quite odd.
