In case you hadn't noticed, the "anti-racists"(anti-whties) are
perfectly consistent about this: the white race exoists if they are
saying something nasty about it, it does not exist if someone is saying
something good about it.
More generally, the "anti-racists" always insist that race exists
when they want quotas, integration, to to chase down whites who don't
want to associate with nonwhites with "low-cost" housing, or white
majority countries which want to restrict immigration. This is all
"white racism" and race is pushed by them to "cure" it.
When it is pointed out that all their ethnic balance programs are
targetted at whites, suddenly the white race is impossible to define and
suddenly ceases to exist once again.
I can't believe you hadn't noticed that.
