Do Most Whites Lack An Identity?

Nothing but the truth.

Jokes aside I might tell them that I can be fun person once you get to know me but often I'm socially awkward. I drink a lot of coffee and hate fanatics of any kind. I like being creative and smoke filterless cigarettes. I listen to blues and rock and travel as much as I possibly can.

Oh, and I don't like "identify" with any kind of group.

 

I have an identity just like everyone!

I'm a a daughter, a mother, a grandmother, was a wife...
I identified at school as a decent person.
At work the same...oh, and I just came back from holiday, so am no longer white, does that make me not normal now?
I don't care what colour you are, if your OK with me,I identify you as an OK person, might be ignorant in some people's mind, but works for me.

 

This is exactly why I hate this "I identify as" bullshit. Being a daughter, for example, does nothing for establishing your identity other than you being a female .... together with some 3.5 billion other girls and women. It's not even something you actually have to actively contribute to in order to get it. You're just born and in the end you cease being a daughter when your parents die.

How that stuff is your identity is beyond me.

 

Well.. they are dead, but they dont stop being my parents..sorry.

I dont stop being a mum cos the kids are now adults..

Maybe its you having problems with your identity, im fine about mine

 

if there's such a thing as a euro-american "identity", i'd rather not have one.
what i identify myself with is the kind of imaginary world inside my head i would prefer to live in.
i identify myself with my previous lives and the worlds i've lived them on.
i really don't see my identity, as having anything to do with physical appearance,
any physical appearance in any life on any world.

i do have four "tribes" of ancestors, but i don't very much identify myself with any of them.
at least not directly. they are my blood and that's cool. but no one and nothing is me except me.
other people may feel that they need to identify themselves with their lineages.
in some cultures that may even be a very good thing

i think if either of my parents had been indigenous i might feel differently about it.

the right culture for the land is whatever evolved in that very spot.
and the real america isn't the euro-america that has dominated it for the past few hundred years.

terms like white and caucasion are not the real america at all.

humans have been in the western hemisphere for more then 11,000 years.
everyone who's ancestors where in the western hemisphere BEFORE what historians idiotically call its being "discovered" are who don't need to be hyphinated.
and those don't look like wonder bread.

yes that includes the meritime archaic, but it also includes the bearing steight people and the kon tiki people.

but if you want to talk about my four 'tribes', the include polish jew, hessian, clan ross scott, and onondagwa of the hedanosani.

 

i identify with my scottish ancestry, those crazy kilt-wearing bad ass motherfuckers.

Well, really I only identify during brutal southern summers...I am reminded with my skin tone I should actually be playing bagpipes on cool, craggy mountaintop in Scotland and not baking in the sun.

 

and i identify with my Finnish ancestry...no bombs...just drop saunas on the mother fuckers.......

 

I identify with what ever strikes my fancy at the time. Today I am crazy... Tomorrow who knows ✌️

 

Well let's see... I'm a white Irish/German/Swedish American mutt, who was not raised to believe in any particular religion and in fact was left to my own devices at a young age... You could say that for the most part I raised myself and everything I know is self taught... I feel no sense in labeling myself as anything in particular as I find labels to be rather restricting, why limit myself?
I'm probably best defined by my generations "I don't give a fuck attitude" if you had to define it that is... Even still that doesn't cover it.
Maybe its not so much that we can't identify as much as we might over identify.

 

White people in the United States identify themselves by their ethnicity Italian, Polish, Irish, German, Greek, but not as much as they used to.

For example when was the last time you heard the words WOP, Dago, Guinea, Yid, Kraut, Gook, Chink, Greaseball, Kyke, Slope, Hymie (The last time I heard the word Hymie was back in 1984 when Jesse Jackson referred to New York as Hymietown) then ask yourself when was the last time you heard the words ******, Towel Head, Camel Jockey, Jungle Bunny.

It’s no coincidence that whites are no longer being ostracized by other whites, because they were willing to sacrifice their cultural identity in order to blend in

This made me think of the children of "mixed" (of all kinds) marriages.

What do they say?

I suppose they say "I'm half this and half that".

What does the next generation say? And the next?

It may not be that whites have traded their cultural identities to blend in but that they have married outside of their own cultures more frequently/for more generations than blacks have.

 

I have an aversion to group identity and as far as I can remember I always have. I was raised in a strict Catholic family in an area of the country where protestant conservatives dominate; it was always do this, never do that because you're Catholic. And I hated it for reasons I can't explain. Why can't I just be myself? To this day, whether it's politics, sexual identity, gender, race, etc., etc., it just annoys me that some people want to put me in a box and label it. It's like they enjoy living in a fragmented society. I want no part of it. Judge me based on who I am, not what I am.

The only times I've felt truly comfortable in a "group" is when I'm in a group of weirdos...

I agree.....and it is also disturbing that our friends here at hipforums don't see what you and I see

 

White people win by default. Ever been in society?

 

Part of being the dominant ethnicity in a region means that you don't need to define yourself by ethnic identity.

 

To say that anyone is without an identity is to speak only of the recently born or deceased. Identity begins to form as soon as the child is capable of perceiving the common reality around them.

 

Yes you would say that.so my wonderfully disorderd friend, "How do you perceive yourself today? " Today I perceive myself as perfect transparency.

 

Since the reality is common, thus perceived by every child the same way, they will then have all the same identity.

Oooops.
