Not to mention they want to change the very institutions that make us America and turn us into some bland version of a European state.

LOL...you have no counter argument. Its not hateful to say that being "white" is an anti-identity.

Because that is Critical Theory based in marxism and racial/ethnic hate. The traditional view when talking about a culture is to just state the facts and to attempt to understand the culture. Only an enemy of the people and the culture would want to "deconstruct" it.

It certainly is a false and racist statement. White ethnic people have history genetic and cultural as long as any other identities have. Only wishing white people didn't exist would motivate a claim they don't exist.

Its actually Postmodern, not Marxist. The two are actually incompatible philosophically. If you are gonna carelessly throw around accusations at least be right about which ones. Instead of freaking out, why not make a specific point on how Marxism and Critical Theory are correlated and then break down how the two structures manifest themselves into racial hate. I suspect since you don't understand much about either theory.

Enemy of the people?...which people are you referring too?

I believe the leftist are trying to turn American more into a Latin American like state. Or they are too stupid to realize that's what they are doing.

No you are not engaging in postmodernism but Critical theory and cultural and race criticism. You can call it whatever it you want but it's still garbage.

What historical genetic and cultural traits do any people share that are exclusive to them? It's not about just exclusivity but a higher percentage share of commonality. There's a long list of things that culturally originated in part and whole among Europeans that fill books. Their genotype and phenotype shares more commonality and parts of it are exclusive.
