The post would have been just as effective without that oddly phrased phrase. It is a strange jab at "whiteness" which, I think, reveals the general attitude of the people running the company. Personally I think they should remove that sentence. It isn't a good look.

I read it as a succinct and derisive dismissal of white supremacist beliefs, particularly racial purity.

Please both of you refer to the rules, specially the part about assuming good intent.

I’m not sure what good intent was meant by calling folks racist.

Not to be confused with the antiracist belief that people shouldn't date outside their race bacause... it's colonialism?

Self-hating white liberals.

This reductionism seems like identity politics at its worst. It sounds like you're saying that anyone who identifies as white (regardless of how arbitrary this race is) must avoid using a term you find disrespectful to describe their race, and doing otherwise means that they are hating themselves?
> "and we have no interest in living in a sea of mayonnaise."
What is that even supposed to mean?? Who refers to people as "mayonnaise"?? While claiming to be against racism??
