In the past I've noted the ironic fact that Jewishness was more important to Nazis that it was to many Jews. For many European Jews were nominal Jews, assimilated Jews, secular Jews–interchangeable with their Aryan neighbors. But for Nazis, Jewish identity was all-important. It was the target.
The same irony holds true in identity politics. Whiteness is far more important to SJWs than it is to many whites. For many whites, what's central to their personal identity is their biological sex, heterosexual orientation, religion, family, and nationality. Their biological race is peripheral compared to those other indicia. But for SJWs, white identity is all-important, because that's the target.
