tl;dr The answer to every injustice, WhiTeNEsS diD iT
“What are we to make of unmistakably White mob violence that also includes non-White participants? I call this phenomenon multiracial whiteness.” By Cristina Beltran of NYU.
Rooted in white supremacy, indigenous dispossession + anti-blackness, multiracial whiteness is an ideology invested in the unequal distribution of land/wealth/power + privilege—a hierarchy in which the standing of one set of the population is premised on the debasement of others.
”Multiracial whiteness reflects an understanding of whiteness as a political color and not simply a racial identity — a discriminatory worldview in which feelings of freedom and belonging are produced through the persecution and dehumanization of others.”
