AOC: ‘Whiteness Is an Imaginary Thing’

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: “There's a very big difference between whiteness and national, like your actual culture, right? Whiteness is an imaginary thing. Being German is real. Being Italian is real. You know, being English. These are rich cultural heritages that are based on values, and they are so much a part of what make our cultures and our societies what they are.”
