That’s a borderline insult, and you reported them for misinformation when what they’re saying is how it really was.
I think the confusion is they’re talking about what really happened, and you’re acting like they’re saying it was right.
“White” was expanded in America to include Irish and Italians.
As they lost the majority, they’d let in more groups to maintain the majority. No one is saying that made logical sense, and those lines are arbitrary.
Got it, white people aren’t people with white skin but all people with dark skin are black people. Understood, sir.
yup, “white” is a completely artificial concept that originated in America (as in the continent) as part of the slave trade justification.
not even the Nazis had this “white” concept, in fact European racism is not along the lines of skin color

But that is what happened.

I’ve reviewed the older messages and you’ve kept this going for over a week, never sourced anything, and have not been civil…
I’m not sure why you’d want a mod to look at that, but thanks for bringing it to my attention.
