>To be against royalty does not mean wanting to kill the king. It means wanting to do away with crowns, thrones, titles, and the privileges attached to them.
This doesn't support your point. He's obviously saying this has nothing to do with violence or genocide but with the concept of rescinding the notion of "whiteness" and embracing a specific ethnicity. This triggers the Amerimutt because for the Amerimutt their identity revolves around being "white".
If you were an ethnic German, living in Germany, would you rather consider yourself "white" or "German"? Because purity spirals exist and many times you'll be grouped in with people you don't like. The concept of a "white race" is not beneficial to nations of specific peoples. It's globalistic in nature and Ignatiev was /ourguy/
A few choice quotes which explain the context:
>The aim was to chronicle and analyze the making, remaking, and unmaking of whiteness. My book on the Irish was the story of how people for whom whiteness had no meaning learned its rules and adapted their behavior to take advantage of them;
>Our standard response is to draw an analogy with anti-royalism: to oppose monarchy does not mean killing the king; it means getting rid of crowns, thrones, royal titles, etc....
>Asked in a 1997 interview with the New York Times if he hates his own white skin, Mr. Ignatiev said, "No, but I want to abolish the privileges."
>"The white race is like a private club based on one huge assumption that all those who look white, are, whatever their complaints or reservations, fundamentally loyal to the race. We want to dissolve that club, to explode it," he said.
He's obviously not advocating for genocide, he's advocating for ethnic identity and nationalism.
