White Lives DON’T Matter
If you think they do… let me explain why they really kinda don’t
So you’re probably coming at me now with pitchforks raised, or maybe not, but let me explain my very bold statement. White Lives don’t matter because there is no set ‘grouping’ of whiteness. Not as one group with shared culture, shared trauma, shared accent, shared slang. I mean if there was I’d be able to go to France and we’d be able to immediately understand each other. Or Poland, or Russia. There’d be no such thing as a language barrier, or an experience barrier as we’d immediately understand each other and our lives would be the same.
We don’t. You travel to a country outside of your own and there’s differences. Heck in the UK where I am you travel north of England and they speak a whole different language. So what am I saying here? The first reason White Lives don’t matter is because of the fact that there is no such thing as a ‘White Life’. There are specific subgroups that even then are not going to be 100% white within the main grouping of ‘white’ that include Scottish, Polish, Irish, English, Cornish (Yes that is it’s own specific group), Romanian, Russian… see where I’m going here? These sub groups have their own cultural practises, they have their own specific language or slang used. You can even divide it even further to for example Liverpudlian culture…
