Get hold of old speeches and publications from Germany in the 1930s and early 1940s. Scratch out the words 'Jew' and 'Jewish' and replace them with 'White' and 'Whiteness'. Then you can be invited to any hipster leftwing party. Or, apparently, get a cushy job at one of our fine modern institutions of higher learning.
Thus. Yep. It's not even trying to act with a wink and a nod. It literally speaks of the plague of whiteness in ways reminiscent of the warnings against the corruption of Jewishness in Nazi Germany. From the university page:
Racism is an epidemic (CDC, 2021) that can also be considered a pandemic given its large cross-national proportion and spread (APA, 2020). However, there is another pandemic lurking behind and driving the racism pandemic – the Whiteness Pandemic. Whiteness refers to culture not biology: the centuries-old culture of Whiteness features colorblindness, passivity, and White fragility, which are all covert expressions of racism common in the United States. Naming the Whiteness Pandemic shifts our gaze from the victims and effects of racism onto the systems that perpetrate and perpetuate racism, starting with the family system. At birth, young children growing up in White families begin to be socialized into the culture of Whiteness, making the family system one of the most powerful systems involved in systemic racism.
Compare:
The Jew caused our misery and lives from it today. That is why we nationalists and socialists oppose the Jews. The Jew has corrupted our race, soiled our morals, undermined our values, and broken our strength. He is the reason we today are the pariah of the whole world. As long as we were German, he was a leper among us. When we forgot our German nature, he triumphed over us and our future.
I'll let you guess who said that last one.
Sure, people will point out that many (though notice not all) on that university page are white. White professionals happily ensconced in their own careers it should be noted. I've noticed that many white liberals who have no problem demanding we correct the unfairness of white privilege are, themselves, quite privileged. And while they might bemoan the unfair advantage they have in life owing to their whiteness, it never seems to lead them to relinquish those careers and go flip burgers so a minority could be hired instead.
Why did white Americans flock to Trump and the GOP last election? Why did young white Americans, that age group historically tending to swing left of center, swing to the right? Because the white American liberals who look like them with six figure salaries seem hellbent on making sure those white American liberals are the last people who look like them who will be able to have six figure salaries. That's why.
