@nihilsupernum wrote about what I call “#identity confusion“ (I should tag this more consistently) from the perspective of a Jew visiting Tasmania.

As a non-American, I see this kind of discourse coming from the US all the time: White people are a melting pot, white people have no culture, why are you talking about different shades of Mayonnaise?

Next thing you know, they apply the same framework to European countries, as if Spain and Denmark are the same because both are “white”.

Even “white“ Americans fall into this trap when they embark on their Grand Tour, a three-week trip to “Europe“ at age 21.

To me, this view of culture and ethnicity is quintessential American-Tourist-ism.

No terrible race politics but American race politics.

The whole “white people have no culture” thing is really just a weapon, though.  It’s a noise, not a critique.
