What's White Identifying?
Jun. 9th, 2011 02:53 pm"White Identifying" indicates people of color who imitate white privilege behaviors, and support and defend privileged behaviors, in the hopes of white approval.
Notice that this doesn't have jack to do with whether someone has grown up completely surrounded by white people, what languages they can, or can't speak, what food they eat, what music they listen to, who their friends are, whether they can "pass" or not, etc.
None of that is the problem- privileged behavior, supporting racism, and, policing other people of color to do the same? That's the problem.
