somebody makes this type of statement once a week...

lower in the thread they say pale East Asians are “White” and others that say this will also say Palestinians are “White” + others such as Mestizx https://twitter.com/glacierviewz/status/1303576970353995777

this isn’t just ahistorical nonsense but also devoid of any material analysis of racial oppression

trying to create a formula for racialization is inevitably going to fail because the structures of Whiteness and who is included was never coherent or consistent

this doesn’t even reduce to Social Constructionism vs Race Realism, it’s just ridiculous and irresponsible nonsense

i fail to see the supposed white privilege in Palestinians being victims of genocide, the white privilege in Sinophobia + Yellow Peril/Scare + the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

they were never included in Whiteness just stop...

p.s. some Mestizx are, it depends
