Twenty twenty-one is the year for canceling back.
Canceling back, as I practice the art, is not about retribution. (snip) Now I am embarking on a multidimensional project to cancel back the word "white," because today it is a term of racist abuse. It dehumanizes by obviating the historic religio-cultural diversity and connections to ancestral homelands of people who are reduced to the color label "white." Henceforth, on my canceling back adventure, I insist on being called Anglo-European American

Love it! I'll have to practice my tone of voice when I say "Who do you refer to me as "white"?

Spot on. The next time I have to designate my race on a insurance form, I'm going to check off "other" and then put "Anglo-European American" in the space.
I'm proud of my family heritage, now I will show it.

I'm totally fine as an unhyphenated American. I'm also totally fine as white. Furthermore I'm totally surprised that any white person has any guilt whatsoever for being white. It is pretty much indisputable historically that white people did not invent racism, and that racism/slavery flourished all over the planet and on every continent long before America ever existed.
Moreover, it appears again indisputable historically that the white race is the only one that has gone to extraordinary lengths to abolish racism, even to the extent of providing highly preferential treatment of other races (affirmative action, welfare, etc.) over its own race. In fact, there is NO other race that has done this.
Time to end the BS about white racism, and the absurd white guilt some people seem to have been suckered into.

Article would humorously entertaining without the homophobic paragraph that had nothing to do with the main premise. In the end, I'm with #7.

Henceforth I am using the Anglo European American designation. It’s well past time to confront the race-baiting charlatans. Toss their racism and guilt tripping back in their faces.

Great article. IIRC there was a section on the last census which had "European ancestry" for one's background. I checked that one for my wife and I.
Also, it's amazing how many Hispanics don't know that the word describes an ethnicity - not a race - and it means descended from people of Spain and Portugal. I.e., European countries. And when you get the race baiters into a corner, they default to confusing nationality with race/ethnicity. It's a hoot to correct them.

Excellent essay! And there was nothing homophobic in it! The writer expressed a deeply held belief about same-sex marriage, and you don’t have to agree with her, which is your opinion. No. 7 speaks for me.

For decades, since all of this nonsense started, I have been checking “other” and writing in “human”.

And remember every time Biden blames white racism, he puts a target on our backs. Is he trying to start a RACE war and get us all killed.

#8 please except my comment in the spirit IMHO, the authors point; no apologies for living life responsibly as who you are without being demeaned means that some are unable to embrace the gay movement due to adhearing to the whole counsel of G-d but must honor the personhood of the speaker. This also should be a norm.

#8 A phobia is a mental disorder characterized by irrational fear. I don't think D. Taylor is afraid of anything.
Jewish, Christian and Islamic doctrine are clear that their God condemns and discourages homosexual acts. "I do not believe that God sanctifies" is her violation? Why? Is it her right to believe in God? Or is it God that you challenge? Either way, to claim she isn't mentally healthy for having faith is troubling. Are you sure that's a mentally healthy thought process?

Deborah Tyler, you are my new hero. Folks, if the last few paragraphs of this article don't make you stand up on your hind legs and cheer, you're not reading it correctly. Oh, btw, I grew up with, "Scratch a liar and you'll find a thief." Used it myself when I was raising my kids. Not one of them turned out to be a liar--or a thief.

Eloquent and logical explanation of race. Unfortunately the average person does not understand anything beyond black and white. One would think that somewhere in the world, black and white people get along and live in harmony. One would be wrong. Every country that has this particular mixture endures a constant battle between the two factions. When it comes down to the basics, segregation is the only policy that would bring peace, at least to the white faction. Blacks can't even get along with each other as demonstrated by the weekly statistics from Chicago. The continent of Africa is a more extreme example but they do not provide statistics. I am speaking in overall terms, there are blacks and whites that get along fine and most blacks get along with each other but the exceptions get all of the attention and cause all of the problems.

Reading comments here brought to mind the excesses that people perform to identify or target race in people. If you simplify that be thankful animals don't do it only humans do. If you pay attention to languages formed in Europe there are words based much on Roman Latin maybe with the exception of French, no offense but the language does twist and turn. One thing came to mind when I saw 'Anglo' this is not some shining discovery Hispanics used the word for many centuries to describe 'whites' they still do today. Some words have been with us forever some discard them to be rediscover later. I'll just stick with Anglo and leave it as that.

I am a Texas American. My revered ancestors arrived in the U.S. in about 1675, and moved to Texas as fast as they could.

#19, I save the judgements of others for God. One of my favorite short stories is Flannery O’Connor’s “Revelation”. I think of it often these situations.
