I thought I was reading Mary Trump’s book for a second about everything that was wrong with Donald based on the grandfather’s transmission of ideas and how Mary’s father the assumed heir was driven to death because he saw a world greater than whiteness. And thus Mary avenges Donald for playing into her grandfather’s deadly abuse.

Good question. Presumably the opposite of the things in the posters.

Funny - they don't have a topic for that. Which is in itself racism.

That question can be easily parried with a response like this:
The Smithie has an entire museum for that: the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture

As to the original topic presented in the opening post ...
Oy! Really？That’s wack! 何 (なに)？Alamak! 有冇搞錯？
Pardon my multicultural expressions of befuddlement and incredulity.

A lot of fascinating stuff from the Smithsonian site:
What are some aspects of whiteness you’ve internalized? How can these be hurtful to you and others?
It’s nice to be in spaces where I can feel free to say what I want, talk about complex systems of white supremacy, and express my frustrations without having to worry about the feelings of the white people in the room.
To learn more on how to teach your child about the ways whiteness is prevalent in society, watch this video with concrete examples and suggestions:

Regarding the Smithsonian poster - those attributes represent the stereotypical "white." In reality, many of these characteristics are undergoing change, apparently not fast enough for some.

Exactly. White kids in their 20’s would not recognize themselves in this.

They have their own separate museum.
The whites don't, they have to share.
They get what they deserve

Their life experience is at a lower level than the experiences of non whites. That barrier is one through which mere verbal communication cannot penetrate. People born with white skin will die without ever having known what it is to truly be alive.

The young whites already know that. They are actually ashamed to be born from such ruthless parents.
The new book for all of them should be Too Much and Too Little.

I have no idea what in the fuck that's even supposed to mean. It's as ridiculous and racist as drawing conclusions about "the blacks" or "those Asians."
Please love yourself.

It certainly is.
