Whiteness and white identity

Whiteness is not a biological category but a political construction that determines who gets counted as fully human, trustworthy, and entitled to resources—a category that has shifted across history and geography to include or exclude different groups depending on what power needed. Understanding white identity means seeing how racial categories are invented and maintained to serve domination.
