enacting whiteness
Aug. 2nd, 2020 03:15 pmНекто Nell Irvin Painter, the author of “The History of White People.”, ввел в обращение эту новую концепцию. Поводом для opinion column in NYT стал безобразный инцидент в одной из школ NJ где мальчики индийского происхождения (где родились не сообщают) мало того что обозвали черных девочек ниггерами так ещё и обоссали.
Painter объясняет: Instead of asking what the boys’ reported racial identity tells us about the nature of the attack, we should see the boys as enacting American whiteness through anti-black assault in a very traditional way...race is something we perform, not just something we are in our blood or in the color of our skin. ... In the New Jersey incident, the heritage or skin color of the boys suspected of the assault doesn’t matter. What matters is that they were participating in this pattern and thus enacting whiteness in a very traditional way.
Вот так-то, друзья мои. If you behave like a piece of shit, it's not like you are a piece of shit, it's because you're enacting whiteness, the only true source of evil in this country.
