It's funny. Most of my great grandparents wouldn't have been considered "white" in their early years in America, yet here I am, undisputably white. White Hispanics are another one that feels kind of nebulous. I also saw a clip of an Irish comedian saying he visited America and he doesn't have white guilt because in Ireland "we planted the potatoes, and then dug them up ourselves"

In conclusion, whiteness is bullshit and needs to be destroyed.

Then there's the Irish who left for America because there weren't any potatoes to pull up (not edible ones, anyway), were discriminated against but eventually their descendants were accepted into the white hegemony, and nowadays benefit from American white privilege.

That'd be me, and I definitely have white guilt and will not by using the white power emoji.

Plus I'm a huge Simpsons fan 👍
