Yeah, agreed.
Then it has to be as authentic as possible. The whole argument over Colin Kaepernick reveals just how inauthentic our myth of America is. Yet our nationalist fanatics regurgitate it as a set of unimpeachable truths.
If someone’s parents came from Belgium, then there is nothing mythic on the level of “whiteness” to speak of. It is a legitimate regional identifier, and birth is an authentic event.
“White” and “black” are the ultimate stereotypes, and they are on our federal forms. They represent a monstrous mountain of pseudoscience that intended to justify our trafficking. Now, because of our reliance on these old constructs, large swaths of our children are still spoon-fed that malarkey as if it were true:

If this pseudoscience never went away, then that tells you something about the “usefulness” of our constructs.
Yep. And people are thrown for a loop. As they should be when their humanity is comatose to the point of shrugging their shoulders at concentration camps operating on our southern border.
What else could possibly cause the type of fundamental overhaul that we are talking about? A punctum is required.
There is nothing that insists that our constructs be falsehoods. We are finding out on a daily basis that the foundation that we have built our society upon only works if everyone is either i) “white” by relegation of their Euro identity to the background, or ii) passes as “white” by obeying certain norms just like any muppet created by Jim Henson would perform.
That’s not freedom, nor is it diversity. It is idol worship. Being in such thrall can only dehumanize, and thereby inevitably leads to violent revolt.
