It's a very, very bad thing IMHO. It combines two forms of collectivism, racism and nationalism, and centers it around the made-up ethnicity of "(American) white."
It's the supporting ideology for slavery, genocide of indigenous people, and American Imperial hegemony.
So yeah... not good.
What about the good things white Americans did?
That's great. People who are Americans who have white skin have done good things.
"White nationalism" means you think they should rule America. Is that your position?
Probably yes
OK... define "white"
Someone of European ancestry and heritage
Great, so Mexican illegal immigrants?
Haitian immigrants?
Afghan refugees?
What are you asking me?
An Afghan refugee has "European heritage" because her ancestors migrated from Europe 2000 years ago.
Does she get to "run America" under the "white nationalism" system you advocate?
No. I don't think a mexican illegal immigrant, a Haitian immigrant or an Afghan refugee should run America? Or any other majority white country. I don't see why that's crazy to see. I also don't think an Italian should run Nigeria or that an Englishman should run south Korea.
But you haven't answered the question of what, *legally* defines "white". In the way that excludes the Afghan refugee.
Or do we just pick a King based on ... Vibes?
Does Nigeria *legally* define black or Nigerian every time they select their leader? It's just not that good a question tbh.
No, but they have some legal system for deciding who becomes a President. An election, with eligibility criteria, etc. Same with Japan, or Europe, or any other advanced nation. And those nations don't have "racial" requirements.
Birthright citizenship, having one's family be in the USA for X number of years... etc. Those are possible criteria.
Quite weird to deny that white people exist tbh
I'm not denying that white people exist. I'm saying that, if what you're describing as an optimum system in which you place "white people" in charge, there should presumably be some hard and fast definition for who exactly a "white" person is... right?
Otherwise who gets to decide who runs the government? On what criteria?
Well it's perhaps too late now. But I would have immigration and remigration policies that favoured people of white European heritage. And then have a more meritocratic society. That is more or less how America operated before WW2. Which was also when it was at its peak as a nation. Btw, if I was Japanese or Indian, I would favour native people via government policy too.
"Indian" is like 200 different languages, and at least as many distinct "cultures".
Even "Japanese" includes multiple sub-ethnic groups. Who gets to be "favored"?
Let's not pretend that a white European or black African is running Japan. Come on now 😂 You are being deliberately obtuse at this point
