    This is exactly right. The concept of ‘whiteness’ flattens the ethnicity of millions of people. I’m not a ‘traditionalist’ in any sense, but I do find value in some celebration of the ethnic culture of my immigrant forebears. I think this is a good path to deprogramming ‘white’ people of their ‘whiteness’, at least in multiethnic settler states like the US.
