I know people of colour who will take into account the different ethnicity groups that make up a person of colour but will shamelessly disregard the racial background of a white (as in, they don’t care if you’re half Irish, half Serbian, to them white is white). That’s how racism starts, isn’t it? The idea that the background of one race is less important (or more important) than the other. This isn’t me trying to defend the history of oppression Caucasians are infamous for, this is me, as a person of colour, saying it’s wrong to disregard anybody.
