I guess what I was trying to get at. Why isn’t there a NAAFAP. For All People? Having specialized groups kind of seems we are going back to segregation again. Why not everyone one be equal and everyone should be happy.

    Fox News would argue otherwise.

    But in all seriousness, look at the past 100 years and all sorts of “white” groups have been marginalized. It used to be that the Irish and the Italians were both dubbed “not good enough” back in ”the day”. That’s part of why “Columbus Day” became a holiday originally.

    These days? Yeah, not so much, but you’ll still see some vitriol towards Eastern Europeans for instance.

    But you’ll also see Italians decrying immigrants and how the foreigners are ruining things, and missing the plot.

      I agree. To expand on my original meaning, there isn’t nearly as strong of a “White people” identity in America like there is for Black people or for individual ethnicities. Even the actual “White power” people tend to be a specific subset like Southern, Northern European, Protestant, etc.
