Would you also object if white people didn't like being called "white people," and preferred the term "normal people" instead?

That's a really good way of dealing it 👍

To be fair, terms like "white" and "Caucasian" are scientifically useless and historically inaccurate.

I unironically think we should stop using them. Obviously, we shouldn't call them "normal people" because there's something seriously wrong with us
