Good article and I don’t think America is a melting pot either, but I do think there is a European Race that’s been subverted, but salvageable. The way I see America is that we are the Europeans who sought a better life and carved out from the frontier a great nation. (Would you say the American Race represents the best of Europe?)
I have light, light brown skin. I have English, Irish, Dutch, German, and very little native american blood in my veins. Other than the English, the Dutch, German and Irish weren't considered true whites.
I choose Caucasian, even though I am not from the Caucasus Region. Other than that, I'm pure Texan.
Your claim about the English, dutch, Germans, and Irish are stupid. First off, it was never a common view and second it was mostly done in derision not a serious belief. I forget who has an article about it, either James Knox or sectionalism Archive, but one of them debunks that shitty meme.
Race is a genetic reality. My fathers family helped settle Smith County Texas. They fought in the revolution, the civil war, and settled Texas with other closely related families. Most of my Texan family are Scots from North Carolina, who came over from Scotland together. MacMillans, Walkers, Blues, Camerons, and many others who were all related going back to Scotland, and kept living together and having kids in America.
The genetic studies on Americans shows we haven't gone through a clean ethnogenesis. There are different households in each state with different views on what it means to be a Texan, a Georgian, or even an American. This is because we have different lines, and different experiences here.
The reason we could all come together in the first is place is because we share much more ancient common lines. Again, race is genetic, not social.
'White' is necessary. It harms no petit nationalism. 'White' doesn't exclude 'Irish'. The phrase 'White Irish' makes perfect sense and keeps the 'Irish' part intact.
