Not sure if it’s pareidolia or whether it’s an actual thing.

In the west, the majority group generally seems dismissally of identity pol, whereas minorities generally seem very interested in identity pol.

  • The other side of that is that people in majority groups often don’t perceive themselves as “having” or “being” [insert identity categories]. If you’re, say, white, and you’re surrounded by white people all the time, there’s a good chance you won’t see yourself as such; you’re just “normal,” as opposed to some other category of people. You rarely have to think about it so you don’t. I can’t count the majority group identities I fall into because I’m not even aware of them until someone makes me aware of them
