with the obvious caveat that it’s inherently linked to and derived from the American civic nationalist cult which is itself inextricably tied to white supremacist ideology, even if the way this manifests in a given person may favor one facet over another or even actively seek to hide some facets

Yes, it can be connected back to white supremacy. But calling the current Sinophobia & anti-Asian racism “white supremacist” provides cover for Sinophobes who no one would consider white supremacists e.g. Ilhan Omar & AOC.
I agree with what you everything you said, though. Just wanted to include this criticism. It applies to everyone in this thread.

Yeah, that’s basically my point, I just felt the need to acknowledge that yes, American nationalism is tied to white supremacist ideology even if someone touting it or an offshoot of it may profess anti-racist sentiment or even be in active conflict with the more overtly racist nationalists.
