Unfortunately, many white people feel that if we say "white people," that alone is an attack on them because they don't think of themselves as white, but just think of themselves as people. Yet they have no problem identifying other people by their race. That's not a criticism (because Black people always have to give that caveat ...). It's the message society has instilled in many people. White people are just people. Black people are Black people. Brown people are Brown people. Asians are Asian people. But white people are just people and some of them feel very offended - called out, attacked - if they are identified as white in the same way that other people are identified by our race or ethnicity.
