Another white 'progressive' fantasy. The mysterious 'enmity' which can never be concretely quantified.
It sounds like moviepig can "pass for white" and even "identifies" as caucasian when asked, rather than proudly saying what he really is.
Isn't that false appropriation of white privilege?

The article concludes with a plea for Asians who are staring down violence by >a non-white perpetrator to fear the pernicious ideology of white supremacy >more than their attacker. "It's not black people whom Asian-Americans need to >fear. It's white supremacy."

Anecdotally, my girlfriend is one of the brown people you 'progressives' are constantly claiming are so disadvantaged and she maintains that being a minority (other than Asian-- weird how that one works, huh?) gives her far more advantages in this society than disadvantages.
When we first started dating, I was at her parents' home having dinner with them one night and there was a news report on TV that was talking about 'white
privilege' and her mother just shook her head and said, "Always with the white
privilege. They never talk about the brown privilege.' My girlfriend asked her
what that is and her mom said, "The ability to break the law and do whatever you want and still somehow remain the victim."

Calling one's self "progressive" is merely an attempt to disguise the
same self-serving attitudes everyone else has that one denies.
After my state's primary, there was a "serious" discussion at a
reporters' round table of some of the trash talking and questions asked during the race for Senate, in which two two black woman were running
against a guy. One of the black women, a long-time member of Congress
with a decent reputation who long ago got herself out from under Jesse Jackson's influenc, was asked if she were the spoiler candidate, and she
said the question wouldn't have been asked if she were a black man.
Press conferences aren't trials; the media is free to troll, to ask
questions without a foundation of facts, and to ask leading questions. There's just no way to win by answering the question.
The political nonentity woman, an obscure first-term state
representative when she was Pritzker's candidate for Lt. Governor, won
the nomination with Pritzker's money. The reporters were all impressed, Historic! She's only the (whatever the count) black woman to be elected
to the Senate!
Who was the dude? In the private sector, he was a well thought of,
innovative and imaginative tech entrepreneur who got elected to Congress
in a difficult race, and figured out coaltiion building in the House to
get a bit of influence on some legislation.
He's literally an immigrant... from India. If elected, he'd have been
the very first.
I have no idea when "progressive" stopped being applied to people who
wanted and worked for progress and change truly beneficial to society.
Today the label is used to cover one's own sins that one refuses to see
for lack of introspection.
There are
serious victim points to be had for being able to claim that one has a
non-white heritage, even in part.
I hope that's sarcasm. My ancestors were slaves unto Pharoah in Egypt,
but since I was born into the freeest society the world ever saw, I
should be laughed at if I were ever to do so. One doesn't inherit one's ancestors' victimhood.
moviepig has made it abundantly clear
that he is "progressive". It seems odd - and hypocritical - to me that
he says he "identifies" as Caucasian on government forms when he says
he's not. Not that hypocrisy is at all unusual on the Left....
Why fall for it? moviePig has always lied, always misrepresented, always truly hidden what he believes. He's nothing more than a Usenet troll.
I truly don't care what his heritage is. I'm just remarking on the
apparent hypocrisy.
Don't take anything he says seriously 'cuz he's just trying to push your buttons.
Abolish the White Race
The goal of abolishing the white race is on its face so desirable that
some may find it hard to believe that it could incur any opposition other >than from committed white supremacists.
Make no mistake about it: we intend to keep bashing the dead white males
(and the live ones), and the females, too, until the social construct
known as "the white race" is destroyed-- not "deconstructed"-- but
destroyed.

White Supremacy Causes Black People to Commit Anti-Asian Hate Crimes
When a black person attacks an Asian person, the encounter is fueled by >racism, but very specifically by white supremacy. White supremacy does
not require a white person to perpetuate it. White people are also to
blame for hispanic violence toward Asians.
The article concludes with a plea for Asians who are staring down
violence by a non-white perpetrator to fear the pernicious ideology of
white supremacy more than their attacker. "It's not black people whom >Asian-Americans need to fear. It's white supremacy."
Got that? So when some 240-lb hulking mass of diversity is charging you
with a raised machete, don't be afraid of him. Be afraid of white
supremacy instead.
I've told the story here on RAT before about a girl who went to college with >me. She had dual American and South African citizenship. Literally an >African-American, but she was as blonde-haired, blue-eyed, and white skinned >as Charlize Theron. She applied for an education grant for African-American >students at the university and received it because they never actually saw >her, just her application. When she arrived to pick it up, they tried to deny >it because she wasn't black. She eventually sued and the court ruled that if >the university meant black it should have said black but as it stood, she >qualified under the criteria presented and ordered them to give her the >grant.
Then there's Idris Elba who is constantly asked on red carpets and in >interviews how he feels about being "the first African-American this or that". >He amusingly replied to one of them that he's neither African nor American so >he has no idea how that would feel.
It does depend on how big a part, though. Remember when DNA tests first >became popular? Idiots were declared themselves black or mixed because
they were 3% black or so, and real black people just rolled their eyes.
A cred grab that's too obvious has the opposite effect.
For the record, I think efforts to address "white privilege" are often
naive or even sanctimonious, precisely for ignoring the aspect you call >"their own behavior". But that aspect is perhaps less voluntary than it
is an unfortunate example of being "to the manner born". I think
there's a residue of the govt.-enforced black underclass of less than
three generations ago, and little to do about it beyond simple erosion.

That's a British term and it's "to the manor born" after a series of
books more similar to "Upstairs, Downstairs" than anything else.
