It's not about embracing it, it's about acknowledging who you are and what makes you who you are.
If you think your skin color makes you who you are, you are promoting the bio-leninism that will destroy you.
There are countless answers he could have given that are much better than this one; I for one, would have also brought up my ethnicity - and the person he was talking to even gave him some examples, but all he's done is to complain about characterization of whites by rad libs, and then re-assert liberal individualism.
Good.
Although I, too, would have gone a different way. Reverse the question and have him answer what's positive about being black, and tear him to shreds no matter what he says.
What he likes about being white is probably being smart enough and having enough self-restraint to not do something very self-destructive just because they goaded him for like 5 minutes.
Reminds me of the old conversation: "Black people created a double standard that they get to say the n word as a term of endearment but white/asian people are immediately slandered as racist if they even think about saying it" "Sure you can! Say the N word, cracker!" It does nothing to prove their point (I'd argue it proves the contrary), and yet somehow people think it does.
Gavin McInnes provides a good example of how to defend Whiteness without being self-destructive and without denigrating other races. I particularly like how he was able to use the "United States bad; Europe good" shitlib narrative against her as an argument that "more Whites = more better"
Pretty much. If I were asked that question I would have answered "a good balance between high IQ and a culture that respects tradition while being flexible enough to allow for non-conformity when appropriate"
That's one of the reasons I think Asians do so well in Western countries: when they get outside of their highly conformist cultures, provided they're able to adapt to the less conformist culture they have the high IQ that allows them to thrive.
You're missing the point. He is opposed to racialism.
The question is intentionally designed to embrace racialism, and then call him a hypocrite, tell him he's a racist, or tell him that whatever he said isn't white.
Rufo is a classic liberal and he is a White man married to a Asian woman.
Rufo believes in color blindness.
You won't see someone like Rufo embracing his White heritage.
This is how I expected him to answer.
Rufo has been very good for optics and he has been the most successful individual in terms of chipping away at CRT.
I see the points that you and Darren are bringing up but you won't be able to stop CRT by embracing white racialism.

It's a rhetorical trap.
Oh here we go again with the absurd premise that race is just physical appearance.
What's he supposed to say? "It's a good blend of intelligence, inquisitiveness, and empathy"?
It was "individuality" or "vitamin D".
