"The label aspires to unify a wide range of communities with common cause and shared experiences. But many feel it flattens and erases entire cultures."

No shit, Sherlock.

How come the same people don't see the inadequacy of the term "White" in the same exact way?

Also don't forget, the Chinese, Korean, and Japanese diasporas hate the fact that the Indian subcontinent is lumped in with Asian-American since those are seen as "Sudanese" types and not Asians (Hint: darkkies).

That's ok because today, the British are not the ascended group of whites in the US; it's been expanded to include the Poles, Hungarians, Armenians, Greeks, etc.

.... so they can all be lumped together and hated as a group "responsible for slavery and racism"? Fuck that: next time somebody calls somebody else "white" they should correct them and demand to be addressed by their exact ancestral ethnicity (or hyphenated mix, however long and cumbersome). "Call me Greek-Welsh-Slovenian-Albanian-American, you culture flatten-er and eraser you!"

Hey, Britain ended slavery in 1807 (& was completely official by 1833), long before Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.

If anything, Britain paved the way for the Congress of Vienna to declare its opposition to slavery in 1815, unlike the Arabs who're doing that stuff clandestinely, even today.

If liberals want to blame the whites, blame the 'white' Arabs!

You are giving too much credit to these people: they have no fucking idea about any of that.
