He's apparently Irish, and his grandparents were from the Gaeltacht, too, so a real Celtic boy. When you say things like "white" you miss out on the immense history of the European tribes.

Saying white is racist basically. You group together hundreds of ethnicities into one catchall. If we were more like the lefties, we’d make issue of this. We should.

Saying white ppl are this or that... is racist!

White in common parlance means European Aryan, which is one of about a dozen racial groups.

So... using 'white' to refer to 'Caucasians' is racist now?

Is using 'black' to refer to Negroids racist?

Neither speak of culture, which is all that matters. If you want to be that broad then you may as well pull back one layer to homo sapiens and believe every human you meet is your brother.

Culture comes, in part, from race.

Your race heavily influences your behavior.

Saying it doesn't matter is science denial.

Sometimes the topic is race, sometimes the topic is culture. There is no such thing as 'white' culture, but then again there is no such thing as 'black' culture either. Because there are many different cultures within each racial group.

If you don't care about matters of race, you don't need to talk about it. But when you're talking about racial stuff, there's absolutely nothing wrong with saying 'white' or 'black'. There's lots of people who do want to talk about the area in between 'everyone' and 'muh specific culture'.

And since you never know which bloodline to use to categorize yourself- race classifications are essentially useless. They shouldn’t be used at all- what purpose do they serve other than to suppress one group over another?
