I think these would help you understand the key arguments and points made about whiteness:

  • Making Whiteness: The Culture of Segregation in the South, 1890-1940

  • Whiteness of a Different Color: European Immigrants and the Alchemy of Race

  • How the Irish Became White

    Political Sociology articles that might interest you:

  • Pettigrew, Thomas (1998). Reactions Toward the New Minorities of Western Europe. Annual Review of Sociology. 24(1) : 77-103.

  • Banks, Antoine J, and Nicholas A Valentino. 2012. “Emotional Substrates of White Racial Attitudes.” American Journal of Political Science 56(2): 286–297

  • Hutchings, L. Vincent and Valentino, Nicholas, A. (2004). The centrality of race in American politics. Annual Review of Political Science. 7(1): 383-408.


    I'm not expecting you to go away and read all this, but the books and articles can be found online (look up libgen and scihub if you need free access), so there's nothing to stop you skimming them or reading scholarly reviews. There's more where that came from so let me know if you have anything in particular you'd like to read about.

> What are we striving for if not to create utopia?

Who is this 'we' you speak of? I know noone in real-life who is striving for utopia, though some have been indoctrinated into certain aspects of it, such as radical feminism and radical environmentalism.

Utopia in practice as mentioned would be a totalitarian hellscape.

>It hinders us as a species. It leads to death, destruction and genocide.

This is a weak and narrow understanding of what prejudice is and what it achieves.

>Imagine what we could have achieved by now

Again, humanity is on an incredible ~5000 year trajectory.

>And the utopian would have to reject tribalism in all its forms.

You're correct that a certain kind of Utopian does, namely the socialisation absolutist ideologues who ignore nature. It does not and can not work.

If you're legitimately interested in this stuff can I suggest for starters having a read of Steven Pinker's very accessible The Blank Slate on nature/socialisation, and Theodore Dalrymple's slightly heavier In Praise of Prejudice: The Necessity of Preconceived Ideas. The inherent insanity of utopianism will take wider exploration and experience for the penny to drop.
