they are morons. the founding fathers of America, Australia, Argentina and Canada considered themselves as white people.The term is subverted most times but it has valid meaning.
The blacks that descended from slaves don't know their roots. The slave traders mixed them up on purpose so they couldn't communicate in languages other than English. It was for control. So the black Americans don't have a tie to Africa. They are mixed from many African tribes.
Mostly different, agreed; but I'm unsure of the accuracy of your assessment regarding what it meant in 1790...
First red flag is that Dutch basically meant German... See Germany is called Deutschland. (Germany didn't even exist back then it was Prussia). I knew Germans had some colonies in America back then but a brief search suggests they made up ~10% of the population
Also, seems odd that France and Spain would be considered differently; but perhaps that has to do with ongoing mediterranean invasion?
Not trying to knock you at all, it's legitimately difficult to find perfect information in history; especially to a topic such as this

You're right.
White is too vague. I don't care for the term myself. Same with black -- research Africa and they are all different.
I think it's important to know and value your heritage.
When they want to make you "just white" it's so they can control blocs of you; same as they are doing to "blacks."

Amen
is George Washington and Thomas Jefferson Marxists?
> white people, Marxist terminology
Abused by, surely, but Marx wasn't even born yet when the term started use. At the very least, it was used in the US Naturalization Act of 1790.
