Remember that for a hundred plus years Germans (teutons and Central Europeans) were not fully accepted into white society. To the point where German Texans who largely opposed slavery were massacred by the confederacy TRUE TEXANS AND TRUE AMERICANS🇺🇸🇨🇱

Yep exactly. The concept of white is more “mixed” a mishmash of different European ethnicities

I disagree with Asians being adopted tho there is some absolute vitriol among most whites against them. I’d say Hispanics are being adopted into whiteness starting with the lightest skinned first. Many of the most prominent white supremacists in our culture are lightskin Mexicans

Yeah fair, I feel like I’ve experienced some white people being more accepting of certain Asian groups because they’re “hard working” or whatever. But I think it kind of depends where you lived

Asiansare just a model minority. As soon as times get tough, the tide switches. Remember Covid?

Only the ones that care about the economy do. Working class whites are heavily anti Asian. Particularly when it comes to Indians as they see them as barriers to social mobility

The white guy in Silicon Valley is going to have Indian friends but locks his doors when going through black neighborhoods. While the white guy in the Deep South is more likely to despise both. On racial and economic grounds
