Anon, is your ethnicity(or ethnicities) a large part of your personal identity? If so, how? If not, why?

I didn't want it to be, but it's inevitable. The world places too much importance of ethnic stock to avoid it. I will always be an ugly Jew.
at least you're not a g*y
nah, I mostly just see us as the default. though in situations where that isn't true then it can become important to me; not always though.
Is it more of you performing what you think people expect of you in front of others or is it genuinely who you identity as now?
Where are you from?
Anon, is your ethnicity(or ethnicities) a large part of your personal identity?
yes
If so, how?
Because we are hated for it. I come from one of those ethnicities that is disliked. Think Roma or Jews etc....
As a result I love my ethnicity twice as hard to combat the hate.
I think I do act sometimes in a certain way because it's what's expected of me, but not entirely either. My identity is not stable, but some things, like ethnicity never change, so it's easier to cling to as an identifier. It wasn't important to me in the past, until I encountered situations where my identity led me to behave in ways I might not have otherwise.
what's your ethnicity ?
i'm from a country that a lot of people hate "for the meme", but honestly i've never suffered any racism
not that much, the only thing ive kept was me liking the food and music. sometimes my dad makes fun of me for that lol
t. russian immigrant
How do you love them? Like do you take pride in their accomplishments? Do you just favor them generally? Or something else?
until I encountered situations where my identity led me to behave in ways I might not have otherwise.
How?
What about being white? Is that something you identity as or do you never think about it?
It's only a large part of my identity in the sense that everyone judges me for being a white mwn.
It's only a large part of my identity in the sense that everyone judges me for being a white man.
Are you american?
What about being white?
i live in europe not murica
Yep. Surely am.
ironically california but I feel like it still applies. we're still the default in western culture and everyone seems to go along with that except blacks.
Shit on every other race
Play the victim
Never change
Case in point, see what I mean?
Alright, but do you identity as that? Like you're different from most people in your country but do you feel you're still "closer to them" than let's say an immigrant not from europe?
Is being american or white what you feel like primarily?
So your identity is more about its relation to what's different rather than "feeling" it?
N-n-o you can't just call me out like that!!
Lmao you're a pathetic faggot. You can't play the victim when someone points out that youre playing the victim. You think that anyone criticizing you in any way shape or form is somehow persecution while you shit on every other group and write it off as "just a joke", and yet can't fucking stand the smallest joke at your expense without revealing your true colors.
At this point I hope your fears of replacement come true, scum.
If you keep harping on about people hating you it'll eventually backfire you and cause anyone with an actual spine to genuinely hate you.
Proving my post 100% true and valid with every line, thanks for making my case for me so passionately.
If so, how?
Whites, east asians and persians are superior to all other races except jews, but they are evil
except jews, but they are evil
It's so over
Is being american or white what you feel like primarily?
Neither really. I feel like me. I do like jingoistic jams, but not really specific to America. I'm kinda an Anglophile.
Alright, but do you identity as that?
as a westernized russian immigrant silly
do you feel you're still "closer to them" than let's say an immigrant not from europe?
as i grew up mostly next to locals yes, tho i feel a bit closer to other eastern euro immigrants except to ukranians (or at least the ones who came here because of the war)
Doesn't have to be that way, just don't mutilate your sons genitals, leave the pact. Even Hitler believed in redemption for some jews
I was reading about Kabbalah the other day and surprisingly a ton of it was very moral, admirable. Then I got to the end and saw that modern jews consider it heresy, kek
I meant if you identity yourself as "white" despite not identifying that much with russia. Someone from a non-white country living where you do would not for example, even though you're both immigrants.
i don't believe in the religious stuff and never planned to circumsize my potential sons anyway
are you a mix of those three things? that sounds lulzy.
the highest grade of persians are of course the parsees of india but there are only 70,000 of them.
No, because it's not part of my culture to obsess about this (like it clearly is in the USA and many other places).
Class is something that defines people much more, at least from where I live.
Is that what you're a mix of?
You identity as an "anglo"?
I meant if you identity yourself as "white"
again ive yet to meet someone who here identified themselves as white, this is a very american concept
Nah I'm pure white
i don't believe in the religious stuff
Jews say this but then still identify as jewish, and many treat atheism or satanism or whatever as their religion instead of actually being agnostic
it is but not exclusively, all the atlantic european countries have some concept of it. russia is the outlier.
Well yes, we continue to identify as Jewish because it's our ethnicity, irrespective of religious adherence
this is a very american concept
Voltaire used the term "homme blanc" in Candide, more than 200 years ago. Other European writers of the colonial era also used the term to differentiate between Europeans and European diaspora and everyone else.
What culture?
Well, I live in Europe too and I'd say a lot of people at least subconsciously identity as white, though I suppose it doesn't show much because of the white majority so to them it's just the default. But I also think a lot of people are doing it more consciously now due to immigration politics.
You just idenfity as a white american like some blank term?
, all the atlantic european countries have some concept of it
no, i live in a western country. identifying with your village, city, state or country is a thing but the concept of (((white))) is kto one
to be fair the concept of european is a thing but not white
not at all, i dont think about my ethnicity or engage in my ethnicity's culture
im an individual
to be fair the concept of european is a thing but not white
Then why did they use the word WHITE? Are you actually stupid?
Somewhat. I grew up in the US with immigrant parents. I grew up in the diaspora community here
It is when interacting with people from other ethnicities I guess.
I am glad to be Danish. If I was the same in terms of achievements and stats while being one of most other ethnicities I would be subhuman.
Then why did they use the word WHITE
Because mystery meat amerimutts were not a thing
What kind of things do you get your identity from then?
Has that ever clashed with being american?
You take pride in the achievements of your ancestors?
But I also think a lot of people are doing it more consciously now due to immigration politics
true, just that the (ultra) nationalists from one euro country will certainly hate other euros which they never really identify as white but rather their own ethnicity. common hate against ayyrab kinda negates that
What kind of things do you get your identity from then?
identity? what do you mean? my character is built from my experiences throughout life, its what shaped me o be what i am today
i dont need a racial caricature to define me
Yeah I guess that's true
I'm not saying you do, I don't get much of my sense of self from that either. I was just asking how else you identify yourself, though I guess you answered here.

ya just bee yourself

yes, within your country it's not a distinction, but they think of themselves collectively as white. they have too much history of sailing to other continents not to. different from land empires like russia.
ireland is the other outlier and doesn't fit that paradigm at all, and I guess to a lesser extent scandinavia.
No I'm white so I just see myself as a default human
It's funny as fuck watching black romantic movies and they are like, "I love you my NUBIAN QUEEN" and she's like, "I love you too my STRONG BLACK MAN" like do black people actually talk like that referencing their blackness all the time in real life? Me and my ex found it fucking hilarious we'd mock it all the time. I'd be like hello my WHITE KING
I'm brown but I identify as a straight white male.
You take pride in the achievements of your ancestors?
Kinda. But I meant my own personal achievments.
that was the case for all of the countries
except for a bunch of others
that's pretty dumb
different from land empires like russia.
one could actually argue that such concept exists more in russia, as with their expansion they integrated many many other ethnicities and now the term russian can have 2 different meanings (nationality and ethnicity)
What difference would being non-white be then? Because you think they're inherently inferior?
