Why do whites list all their identities in their abouts EXCEPT their race all the time
You know that when you do that we still know you’re white right????

You know, if people want to post anti-white bigotry to balance out all the white supremacists on RSTDT, there's plenty more hateful and psychotic options than a Tumblrite's passive-aggressive whinging.
Because whites are not lumped together in one denomination. I am a Norse-paganism-inclined French germanophile atheist kinkster, white is simply too vague.
However, I have the feeling a "black" denomination appeared because black people were considered without taking into account the other possible identities. Something emerged from that.
I see non-whites who don't list their race all the time, too.
Whites aren't trying to hide their race. Some people - even white people - don't actually centre their entire lives around skin colour & ethnicity.
Because most of us (I said MOST of us) don't go past a mirror and stop to admire our whiteness. We don't think about it all day, and don't consider it worth mentioning.
Except, of course, the rednecks with nothing else going for them...

Because it’s not really important to me?
So, about 40 years ago, I met a girl in stationed on the same ship I was in Scotland and started to date her. Talked about her ALL the time on phone calls home. What we were doing, where we went, where we were going to go.
THen my grandparents were going to visit London and we took leave to go down and see them. Then I realized my grandparents were old enough that they might find it…significant…that I was dating a black woman. So I sent pictures home to avoid any surprises.
Turned out they were just so happy i was dating a GIRL they hardly noticed her race.
It’s just not something I usually think about, or find that important when I do.
Your mileage may vary.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
