Points apparently now have race and nationality...that's ever so much more interesting than just having validity. Now one can be racist or nationalist about a point without any people actually being involved. Would pointing out that "Bolshevik" was not in fact the "majority party" at the time also be a white American point? One must think so now.

I guess we'll deprecate Orwell's observations on language and politics too...perhaps not American, but certainly white. Clearly guilty of excessive occidentalism.

And here is a point that may be a white American point without the speaker even being white. A miracle!
