Which means “patriarchy and white supremacy” are not “inextricably intertwined.” Exhibit A for this not being race determined: how we keep redefining “whiteness” in America based on whoever is rich. To the point, today, that White + Asian is a common category. (Or how we cleave Hispanic from non-Hispanic Whites.)
