Here's an interesting comment to the previous post, followed by my response.
"Dilemma; as a Mishling European, Irish, German, English, Danish heritage born in Australia who doesn't act Aboriginal, what nationality should I call myself?"
My response:
"The people who built Australia were of European ancestry, primarily British. They became what we know today as Australians, a distinctive people with their own particular variations on their common European heritage. (I hesitate to say that they have their own, (cough) culture!) As such everybody understands your general lineage and its particular permutations become unimportant.
You're very unlikely as an Australian to be asked about your ancestry anyway because you look and speak like what people expect of an Australian. If you are asked you can cheerfully and proudly expound as you did above. And it's not just Australians. For example my grandson's grandparents are Irish, Scottish and English. But because we're all from the same basic race, stock and culture nobody pays any attention to it. And if they did we'd all be happy to talk about it.
The case of the black "Irish" woman is totally different. Essentially if she's to be taken as Irish then the word loses all meaning. To be Irish is no different to being any other nationality and that's self-evidently ridiculous. Which of course does not prevent the idea being relentlessly foisted on us."
This interchange raised a further important dilemma. On the one hand we Whites must constantly and fearlessly reaffirm our own unique racial, national, ethnic and cultural heritages. This is required to put ersatz 'Irish' people like that woman in their box and to prevent them appropriating what's ours. And also of course to build resistance to the broader Kalergi-derived invasion of our lands and ultimately blending us out of existence. But on the other hand great care must be taken to not widen existing fissures within the Europe-derived ethny. And God knows, we're picking our way through a minefield here, mines of the national and religious kinds in particular, laced with high-explosive historical baggage. Primed to explode at the slightest touch.
It's a fine line. And there's no simple solution other than to suggest that at the highest level European-derived peoples should celebrate our common achievement and focus on our common enemies and their dastardly plans.
