I have known plenty of people who weren’t interested at all in their own race. One Asian acquaintance said to me once, in reference to Asian people in general, “we all look the same.” I kid you not. The old saying is “opposites attract”, and not without reason.
I suppose if you live in an area with a single racial majority it’s easy to become deluded on this. Where I live, mixed race families aren’t as uncommon as they used to be.
We just went through this period in the 2000’s and 2010’s where a whole bunch of “Young Calvinists” were obsessed with Lecrae and other Christian hip hop artists. Not exactly “white culture”. Have we forgotten?
The “Christian Nationalists” who keep pushing this idea that people are most naturally drawn to their own race are lost in their own fantasies and fears. People are far more varied than they would like for them to be.
