This right here. Taking hundreds and hundreds of unique and distinctive peoples and lumping them all together as "white people" erases their unique and distinctive histories, geographies, languages, and cultures. The irony is that the people proclaiming "white pride" and advocating for "white nationalism" (by which they always really mean white supremacy) actually harms the peoples and cultures they claim to care so goddamn much about, by wiping out the valuable distinctions and uniqueness of each of those peoples and cultures.

"We should first examine how colonisation works to decivilise the coloniser, to literally dumb them down, to degrade them, to awaken them to buried instincts, to greed, to violence, to racial hatred, to ethical relativism."

Aimé Césaire in "Discours sur le colonialisme", 1950
