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.
Like I said, you have no idea what you are talking about. So what is the difference between Postmodernism and Critical theory?
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.
So what high percentage of commonality do Europeans share? Please explain.
What genotype is common to all Europeans? Also Ashkenazi Jews and Gypsys are from Europe, have lots of European genetic ancestry, speak the same language and share the same culture as other Europeans, yet are considered non-white. Why?
I don't get this argument at all. I'm a 72 year old retired white man who grew up with a single Mom. I went to a great public academic high school. Graduated from UCLA in '68 when tuition and books for a resident commuter living at home was $600 a year, which I earned working part time during the school year and full time in the summer, which also paid for my car, gas and an active social life.
Relocated to NYC in 1971 to get a decent paying job. Worked for the next 37 years, raised a family, retired with a decent pension and SS at the age of 62. Have medicare, suplemental health and prescription insurance and SS and have a comfortable retirement in my own paid for home. Drive a new car. Got pretty much what the American dream promised for a middle class person with no money or connections who had no desire to be rich or famous. I had bosses who were young, old, male, female, black, white. I never once felt they had a position that I should have had, or that I was disadvantaged being white, or a male.
Voted straight Democratic for the first time in years on Nov. 6. I think Jeffrey Dahmer could have been elected on the Democratic ticket this year. My first vote was for RFK in the California primary in '68 but voted for Nixon in '72 on his promise to end the war. Voted for Nader in 2000 and Bernie in the primary in 2016. Held my nose and voted for Hillary in 2016 but was glad she lost.
In my lifetime I have been discriminated against for being Italian, for being young, for not having work experience, for having been fired on a previous job, BUT NEVER FOR BEING A WHITE MALE.
Half the voters are Democrats. The majority of Democrats are white. Why would they blame white males for anything? It makes no sense.

Can you afford a TV subscription on your retirement? Do you watch the news? How about internet? Ever read any NYT, WaPo or CNN articles? Are keeping yourself current or are you still stuck in the 50's and 60's? There have been endless articles written by those mentioned and endless guests and diatribes on their tv networks that blame YOU, yes YOU. OLD WHITE MEN for every ill this country has.

Not a lot of difference but as it's sometimes called critical postmodern. Postmodernism is mostly a perception based vs objectivity base philosophical way of looking at society where as critical theory focuses on race and identity to criticize the culture with goal toward furthering marxism.
