  It’d be regions/land-based, probably. “Southern pride,” etc…just without the racism. Fuck those star-bellied sneeches across the river.

  I vote we use wealth.

    Unfortunately it’s the wealthy people who decide.

      It’ll ultimately just lead to even more discrimination against the poor

      It’s intersectional: the wealthy early birds. They would make the decision while us night owls sleep

  Having lived in a majority white city where they divided themselves between countries of origin, this would happen.

  Until a large Hispanic influx northeast PA had Italian sections, Irish sections, Lithuanian sections, Polish sections, etc. When my ex’s grandmother met me she asked me “what are you?” despite us both being white.

    She was old enough to remember that none of those origins was considered white.

    In the show All In The Family, Archie isn’t just bigoted against non-caucasians; he’s bigoted against the polish, Irish, Italians, etc… He’s less bigoted against those groups than he is against non-whites, but still bigoted. He’s also bigoted against catholics

  Or people would simply be divided over what race they used to be.

  • FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    After a few generations, they’d start to forget

      Look up Cagots, then.

  And people would also track down and document what race people used to be before the change happened so that they could keep on hating too.

  Exactly. This is why people say race is a construct.

  If we all became the same race then some self labeled ingroup would construct (i.e. create) new criteria to label others as an outgroup eventually creating new races.

  Exactly.
