    Isn’t that exactly what happened with whiteness as a concept? Used to be wasp only, now it even includes Italians and the Irish. Black people are also nominally let into the tent of “American” when it is time to shit on the “illegals”.

    Don’t really see the need to give credit to this kind of chauvinism.

      Ah, true. I hadn’t considered it, and actually I have seen this done many times.
