I was browsing a HEMA subreddit, Historically European Martial Arts, and some guy was crying that a white nationalist was in his club. He wanted to know how to avoid attracting qhite nationalist and a lot of folks were arguing to remove the European part because being European isn't inclusive. Are white people so cucked that including European in our own cultures considered racist?

Martial arts just means war arts. Any culture that has had any semi-organized training for and/or engagement in war is going to have "martial arts." It's true the Asian ones get a bunch of the fame, but that's also why these European ones are are called "historic;" they're more specific to that time, and not as mainstreamed like many Asian arts.
But, yes, if you take out the "historic" and the "European" it certain loses its meaning, that's very true.
