this isn't talked about enough. Often when it's brought up, the immediate reaction is an eye roll followed by them glazing over. The construct of "Whiteness" serves as a haven for both those who endorse White Supremacy, and those who consider themselves "White" but not racist. Think Italian, Irish,
some Asian's (non brown), Arab, and now Latino/Hispanic. Once you're excepted as being "White", all of the previous people originally weren't in the USA, your economic prospects are excellent. There's only one subset of Americans who can never join the club, unless they are "Passing".
