I’ve lived in a place that was “all white” and they divided themselves up by nationality. Poles, Ukrainians, Slovaks, Czech, Italian.
There would be bars people would avoid because they were harassed for not looking right.
This was in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre at the turn of the millenium. Since then there’s been an influx of Hispanic people and now all the “whites” hate them together.
Also Italians weren’t considered white either, in the late 1800s and early 1900s. They were above POC, but barely. They had to “prove their whiteness”. Also Irish were predominantly Catholic so fuck them too. Its why a lot went on to become police, to show they weren’t “filthy degenerate thieves” and served the community.
