Note: Only white ones that flee because of racism, not Ukrainians whose homes are destroyed by their war

Ukrainians get denied access to whiteness in a white supremacist society as long as they maintain their own cultural traditions. whiteness is connected to colorism, but white supremacy is not colorism alone. it's about

  1. colorism
  2. obliteration of culture in order to homogonize into "whiteness"
  3. looking down on the low arts such as needle point, crochet, comedy, street art, dance, etc
  4. veneration of the "official" written history
  5. consumption of food rather than the celebration of preparation of food
  6. willingness to perform violence against someone with less power or status than yourself in order to avoid standing up to someone with more power or status
  7. an isolationist attitude towards community

even to "white" people white supremacy lies about who "white people" are

Huh... I never realized that, but you're right. People who look down in other cultures also tend to be the ones who look down on folk art even within their own culture.

I've noticed before that the people saying, "If there's an African American Culture club at this school, why can't we have a White Culture club?" are never actually the ones interested in learning about the culture of white peoples for its own sake.
