It's just a variant of "I'm not racist; some of my best friends are black." White people are always acceptable until proven otherwise, and everyone else needs to be exceptional.

There's an old (black and white) skit of immigrants arriving by boat, then standing on the shore and sneering at the next boat of immigrants just arriving.

At this point it's probably safe to say this was my favorite non-fiction of 2025, probably the most important in terms of understanding this timeline. If only I could talk about the book with others who haven't read it without sounding like a mad person.
