Those Who Fan the Flames of White Nationalism Have Blood on Their Hands: the threat we’re facing isn’t individual terrorists. It’s the global ideology of white nationalism and white supremacy. We have to take it seriously, and call out politicians, academics and media personalities who promote it

I would like to inquire, are you a leftist/communist or simply liberal? Do you not believe in the distinction between different races (e.g. Asian, White, Black).

I am aware that Nationalism is a fairly recent phenomenon, as is the study of race or racial sciences (18-19th century ish??). I will acknowledge that for most of human history people lived in massive multiethnic empires, have moved around and intermixed. That being said, distinct identities have still been maintained - though cultural and genetic mixing has occurred, never on the scale that we will all be mixed into one homogenous blob across the world. Clear lines have popped up and still exist. As an Asian, do you not give importance to your distinct identity as Asian and Taiwanese? Do you not fear the encroaching global society coming to take away all of that unique culture and history?
