So you're effectively saying that xenophobia is linked with anti-blackness? There's a case to be made there. I'm just not sure why you call it "whiteness". Especially when, as you point out, people with white skin also suffered as a result of that xenophobia.

Again, my issue with the word "whiteness", other than the heavily implied racism, is the imprecision. If somebody described criminality as "blackness", but then told you the word had nothing to do with people with brown skin, would you believe them? Wouldn't you ask why they chose that word?

And, if I'm not mistaken, you're using rulings that were settled decades ago to justify using this term today. Today, people of any colour can become US citizens. What benefit do you see in pointing out that this wasn't always true? Why is it relevant here? And just to head of a potential objection, I'm not saying that talking about history is never valid, I'm asking why you think it's valid in this particular conversation.

All you're doing is rephrasing your baseless assertion. How does my writing carry the connotation that black people are "making all of this" up? Give me an example of something I've written that does this. And more importantly, what exactly is "all of this"? I literally write about racism. So it's a bit strange to suggest that I'm saying that it's being made up.
