Hi Murién, 66 year old White guy here
One problem is that Whites never *had to* create a racial identity and, as the overwhelming majority, we never before *had to* have a conversation about race. The fact that we *must* now talk about race and racism is itself an affront to some, an unwelcome reminder of long term demographic changes Whites cannot stop.
