        white isn’t a race it’s the social construct that means the absence of race

        Irish stopped being a race when they were accepted into whiteness by becoming police in large number

        That’s why it’s literally impossible to be racist against white people

          white isn’t a race it’s the social construct that means the absence of race

          All “races” are social constructs, there are no biological races for our species and the way we define social races isn’t even uniform across different cultures.

          means the absence of race

          And that is actually a profoundly racist statement that roots many portions of white supremacist ideology.

          why it’s literally impossible to be racist against white people

          While it’s quite easy to argue that white people are in no danger of becoming ethnically prosecuted in most of western society, your statement that it’s impossible to be racist against white people is got a built in logic contradiction and is therefore invalid by nature. Even without the contradiction, all it takes to take down a blanket statement like that is finding a counter-example, and that’s so trivial I could find historical examples in less than five minutes.

      Oh I hate to break it to you, many people of color are very conservative, and some are also maga supporters.

      The real advice is don’t date people from known conservative places, go to liberal cities where you can at least know they are more-likely-than-not, to be at least left-of-center, and possibly a leftist.
