3. If I may humbly add something to this

One of my pet peeves is the whole idea of "white identity." Even if someone's lineage is 100 percent from England, they have in their blood people who hated each other, as one reading of Ivanhoe in Middle School should have taught. There is no country called "white", yes there are countries named Germany, Ireland, Norway, Poland and others which White people come from, and identities to celebrate; I enjoy Oktoberfest and St. Patrick's as much as the "natives" do. But there is no "white identity" and those goes double for those of Catholic branches that side with the Klan and the new mutations who forget that THEY ARE HATED JUST AS MUCH. BTW, this is a Latino who saw his mostly military family vote for Trump, who even though he is damned lonely this Holiday season, will NOT go to their house because he does nto want to have to choke down Trump grins with his pork.

We make damned good pork too
