I thought this was about the concept of whiteness, a la whiteness studies. Clearly pioneered by Ignatiev, Ted Allen, and a few others.

One might speak of the ideological concept of "whiteness" or even race altogether being separate from the localized ethnic reality people live in, you could even point to it as a socially destructive force (by superseding local communal relationships with a trans nationalist one). But of course all these people criticizing "whiteness" support the system replacing and destroying people with the label "white" so this is largely a pointless and harmful mode of inquiry, at least until our communities are stabilized and healthy again.

Some who typically question whiteness have said that the White people they point out are who the White establishment has defined as "White" - not that they are committing a logical error.
