You've just hit the nail on the head. The only complaint that I have with the series is that it didn't include this part of the puzzle. The myth of "Whiteness". It's all a ruse isn't it? Racial classification. They created it so that they could enlist the aide of the masses. To deflect their anger by creating an enemy, a boggyman, a threat. They created a caste system in which "white people" were placed on the top of the scale. They gave them a few more privileges, they gave them status and in a world where status was everything, now they had something, even if it was only a concept. But look closely, would the average "white man or woman" be given in marriage to a Mountbatten or anyone of that circle? Not all the whiteness in the world could pull that off. But the thing is, they always knew that even if they were paupers, they had authority over the highest ranking Asian, African or Native American. What better way to get the masses on your side and ensure they are willing to fight for your interests? Who in their right mind would want to give up that kind of power? Only problem is that it is only an illusion, and whenever the master feels like it, he can take that power. Your secure factory job can vanish over seas. Your rights can be eroded. So in reality the masses are the ultimate house negroes. We really are all the same and it is that truth the powers that be are afraid we will realize. That the average white person and the average black person have more in common with each other than the average white person has with the "White" Capitalist class.
You know, I once dissolved a nasty situation, a fight between an Asian and an Englishman, that Englishman was me, The Asian chap had so much hatred, he was going around looking for something soft to hit, vent his anger and what was better than a representative of the white race which he felt oppressed him and hated his ethnicity.
There was a scuffle, nothing serious, but not a fight, this chap had the ability to listen. I told him I didn't want to fight, I am not interested in fighting as I bore no hatred or even dislike to his race or him and I said I understood his anger. The oppression he felt, we have all been oppressed and furthermore the ethnicity classification is really a load of oblox, a classification brought about only by those that sought to segregate, be they scientists for the means of study or oppressors as a means to empower themselves.
Even the celt which I at that time clung to due to Irish and Cornish ancestry was described by an ancient writer, I forget which, whether he be Roman or Grecian, but this person described the Briton as dark and swarthy. Well, who in our country could be described as dark and swarthy looking, Asians perhaps ? If that is so, we are all the same.
But the 'ethnicity' of celt that we all cling to in reality means nothing, even the word is derived from a Grecian word for ' uncivilised '. Uncivilised is not an ethnicity. And to those who claim they are of celtic ancestry, well, here in Britain at least, probably the entire poulation is of celtic ancestry and at the same time, Norse ancestry, saxon ancestry, Norman ancestry and not to forget Roman ancestry. The latter, Roman was not one country, but a collection of conquered countries brought into the ownership of Roman rule.
Further back there is even suggestion that those that were described as Keltoi whom I understand originated on the Indo Iranian plateau, actually came from the Sahara area of North Africa which at the time fifteen thousand years ago was a massive prairie. The people that were pushed off the prairie could be described as what we know now as oriental looking, perhaps the dark and swarthy appearance mentioned.
So, we are all of the same people, we come from the same part of the world and if you even look to the Adam and Eve idea, we are all brothers and sisters.
So, this disagreement I was involved in was dissolved, I told this chap immediate ethnicity is in reality irrelevant, we are all the same and if he wanted to understand his place in the world, then he must look further than the petty differences set up in the last couple of hundred years by an elite who even we despise.
(If it interests, some information on the origin of the Briton and for that matter, the rest of the world ) ;
Origin of the Celts - Caucasian, not European
Oh and those celto/Roman/Norman/Norse/Asian/Oriental people that lived in Britain and Europe have in recent years, only a few hundred years, being recent in the scale of things have moved to a new part of the world, the continent which is now called America. These new people became the power in America bringing to this land the same disease, perhaps this disease being the reason they left their homelands and sail across the western ocean to this land of opportunity.
