"Whiteness" isn't a race. It's a social construct invented to justify slavery. It's a subjective reflection of who holds power and who is in the in group. The definition of who is white and who isn't has been subjective and has changed over time. Thomas Jefferson, for example, didn't consider Germans or Italians "white" (he called Germans "swarthy"). Congress passed a law over 100 years ago to declare Arabs "white". The Irish are now considered "white" where they once were not.

Also, I'm completely fine about making certain statements notihng race. For example: the victims of police violence are predominantly, or at least disproportionately, black.

In the case of NYC in general, and the West Village in particular, the long-term residents skew to minorities and those that displace them are typically white, like 23 year olds that somehow afford an $8,000/month WV apartment, which itself is an artifact of generational wealth built on racial discrimination.

we both now you not completely fine about it. the stat you shared just exemplify that. you likely would mute someone using your playbook to share crime rate per capita. and whiteness being a construct to justify slavery when arab world slavery far outpaced it and still exist today is another example of dishonesty.
