Don't argue that white identity exists. Assert it. If someone denies it, don't debate - assert that 'being Jewish, black, or latinx' doesn't exist.

It's on the right track, but anti-whites will often say they agree "Jewish, black, or latins don't exist races, since race is a social construct." Just be ready for that.

Sure, let 'em. I ain't arguing, and I strongly suggest others don't either at this point. Not getting drawn into an argument over the existence of white people is the key here. If they want to agree Jews, blacks, and 'latinx' don't exist, that's on them.

That said, my experience is they won't do that. Or at least, you're not going to get that outside of a fringe debaters who are irrelevant. The same people who will say that 'white people' don't exist as a category would typically sooner swallow strychnine than says 'Jews' don't exist in a meaningful sense. Hence why you see this push to 'capitalize Black but not capitalize white' and the fact that some newspaper decided to capitalize White as well has led to absolute panic.
