LMFAO even if you decide to arbitrarily exclude all other minorities from our total for no reason at all, Blacks still aren’t the majority.

no, but for a long time Irish, Italians, Germans etc… weren’t white, until they needed to increase the size of “whites” because there weren’t enough WASPS to outnumber POC

Got it, white people aren’t people with white skin but all people with dark skin are black people. Understood, sir.

yup, “white” is a completely artificial concept that originated in America (as in the continent) as part of the slave trade justification.
not even the Nazis had this “white” concept, in fact European racism is not along the lines of skin color
