Adam Serwer: “Political parties and identities are not static, and few concepts are as elastic as the invention of race, in particular the category of ‘white,’ which is defined not just by looks and ancestry, but also by ideology and class.”
“The fact that fewer Americans identify as white in the 2020 census than did 10 years before does not spell doom for the Republican Party, nor does it herald an era of political dominance for the Democrats, despite the forlorn cries of those who are committed less to conservatism as an ideology than the political and cultural hegemony of those they consider white.”
