Topic: White Americans


  
  White (people) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
White (also White people, White race or Whites) is one of various color metaphors for race used as a form of classification of people.
White nationalists in the United States often have a definition of "Whiteness" that is much more limited than the official government definition of "Whiteness", in this case, requires not only an ancestry that is solely or overwhelmingly European, but also a psychological identification with the European ethnicity and a commitment to advance its interests.
Today, depending on the source, whites are said to constitute 37% to 65% of the population, with the remaining population being composed largely of mulattos.

 Who Invented White People?
White plantation owners in the American South, for example, built their plantations according to Neo-Classical architecture (as did the architects of our nation's capitol), so that the slave master's mansion would recall the Parthenon of Ancient Greece, suggesting a racial continuity between the Classical forefathers and the slave owners.
Crevecoeur candidly describes the process by which the American race originated as a white race; or rather, the way in which the descendants of Europeans constructed a myth of themselves as a white race with special claim on the answer to the question "What is an American?" An American was a white man.
White people tend to cast the question of race in terms of guilt in part because of the American ideology of individualism, by which I mean our tendency to want to believe that individuals determine their own destinies and responsibilities.

I would suspect that all the early authors were white men and women who did not include the African- American nursing history except in a cursory way into their story of nursing either out of ignorance or lack of concern.

This work is grounded on an analysis of white racism and fl efforts to overcome its manifestations as a key to understanding the evolution of the fl nursing profession in particular and nursing history in general" (Hine, 1989, xxiii).

 INDOlink - Analysis - Are Indian-Americans White?
The Court held instead that "the words 'free white persons' are words of common speech, to be interpreted in accordance with the understanding of the common man." In the Court's opinion, science had failed as an arbiter of human difference, and common knowledge was made into the touchstone of racial division.
The social construction of the White race is manifest in the Court's repudiation of science and its installation of common knowledge as the appropriate racial meter of Whiteness.
Thus, the judicial classifications of whiteness were ultimately a decision to determine “American.” Whiteness and American identity became explicitly tied together through the racial prerequisite for citizenship, and the judiciary constructed the parameters by excluding Asians and maintaining the purity of white America.
