Adding to the above sentiments, civic nationalism has always had more weight in the US. That there were different European groups settling, for example, would've made ethnic nationalism a hard sell to some, especially considering that not all Europeans were even treated with the same level of respect in American society. That's not to say there weren't racist or xenophobic elements underlying, or indeed disrupting, the general shape American identity took, but it also doesn't mean that we were founded on ethno-nationalism.

:shrug:
no one thing is the absolutely true and defining main characteristic of american ideology, but your a fool if you think ethnic nationalism isnt a component

Both of these are generally true for Asian guys too though

This was a thing I was referencing in my "50 years ago I would be half white but now I'm all white" post earlier but I realize there is an inherent contradiction in "trying to discuss racial theory with Tramadol Junkie" so I'll give it a rest

Fire Barrel posted:

While that's not necessarily wrong, it doesn't invalidate the sentiment of the post. American national identity isn't based around the same ethno-nationalism which blew up in Europe during the latter half of the 18th and then the 19th centuries. That's not to say there ethno-nationalism doesn't exist in the US though.

I can agree with this.

Ok look maybe you're not a fan of Ted Cruz, his political knife fights or his desire to slash the IRS but I'm pretty sure Ted Cruz is a PoC and it would be rude to deny Ted Cruz his heritage.

they didn't have any problems taking all the land that didn't have any Mexican in it though?

You mean like Texas and California? The reason we didn't take more is because they successfully fought back. gently caress we couldn't even take Canada when they were distracted fighting Napoleon but it's not to say we didn't try.

Jews are 100% definitely not white, they are middle eastern. That's why it's hilarious when rightwingers show love for Israel while at the same time hating Arabs/Muslims. They're all the same exact thing!

Yeah white people can convert to being Jewish but that's hardly the norm. Most Jewish people are of middle eastern descent.

nah they need to be included because once you've fully assimilated you are white, as long as you are actually white. that's the back door, even russians and italians can be white if they come to the US earlier enough and assimilate without any accent or weird foreign behaviors, and as long as they say "american" when you ask what they are and not "russian" or "russian america"

being white is about giving up your actual cultural heritage and being a reflection of your skin color only

You seem to be talking about cultural whiteness (Obama, Idris Elba), while I'm discussing whiteness purely from a race / ethnicity standpoint, where Italians would surely never be considered white
