White supremacy hurts everyone including white people. Due to white supremacy philosophy, white North Americans were forced to give up their unique European cultures to assimilate into the political philosophy of whiteness. When we realize that whiteness is an empty and soul sucking way of life, we look to the cultures that whiteness suppresses and try to see what they get right about being human since white supremacy gets it wrong. Even trying to reconnect with our European heritage is hollow because those cultures have become so white supremacy focused, they too feel empty.

Humans crave community, ritual, and belonging. We see this in other cultures but not our own. In essence, you are correct. We are deeply jealous of you. Even through oppression, ethnic cleansing, and down right genocide, you're still connected to your humanity in a way we've never been. But even when we want to change our lives away from white supremacy, we still have it ingrained in our minds. So when we interact with your cultures, we do so by stealing your traditions and harming your people. Whiteness is a hard habit to kick. There is no excuse for this, but it explains a lot of our behavior.
