How Italians Became āWhiteā

In the future, white people will always be referred to as āwhiteā people, while black people will be referred to as āBlack bodiesā with a capital B.
I first noticed this trend with Ta-Nehisi Coatesā hilarious bestseller in 2015, where blacks are āblack bodiesā and whites are āpeople who think that they are white.ā
In other words, I guess, TNC wants to imply that blacks are authentically black, but whites all have a touch of the tar brush.
This just seems childish and moronic, but it appears a lot of people are getting into this kind of thinking now. After all, race is just a social construct, so we get to say whatever we feel, so we just spew random insults at whites, such as implying that they suck because they are part black. Which, logically, is self-defeating, but TNC didnāt get his Genius Grant for being logical, now did he?
In reality, 23andMe reported that their customers who self-identify as black are 385 times blacker genetically than their customers who self-identify as white.
