i must say there's one thing i disagree with some of the fediverse on: white culture exists
because for the love of god, nobody else needs to be blamed for gender reveal parties (for the puppy you're adopting), cargo shorts, made in china novelty dreamcatchers with confederate flags in the middle, and "salads" that consist of unrelated foods stuck together with mayonnaise.
@wigglytuffitout The history of who gets to “count” as white, especially with the bizarre half-measure term “white ethnic”, is fascinating to me
Someone observed that pretty much every non-WASP ethnic group in America has some level of “big raucous family gatherings with a giant banquet” stereotype, because WASPs are the outliers for *not* doing that (nearly as often)
@cryptovexillologist honestly it's a bunch of really interesting history that should be studied and discussed far more than it actually is
and people who are far more intelligent than me can probably make many good comments on this, but i'm afraid i've just gotten distracted now remembering how much i love green fluff and its semi-annual appearance at the end of the thanksgiving/etc. family potluck buffet line
