“#Whiteness and white racialized identity refer to the way that white people, their customs, culture, and beliefs operate as the standard by which all other groups of are compared. “
“White dominant culture describes how white people and their practices, beliefs, and culture have been normalized over time and are now considered standard in the United States. As a result, all Americans have all adopted various aspects of white culture, including people of color.”
My interpretation of that (please correct me if I’m wrong), is that whiteness means “everything that’s wrong with blissfully (and/or arrogantly) traversing the world, ignorant and/or dismissive of non-white cultures, and thinking that your white-culture is inherently the “normal” and “accepted standard” for thought and action”
