Ad Limen Hominis: White Endogamy and the Schema of Racial Disposability: The glorification of the political as a panacea of racism has obscured the consequences of social organization and white demography to theorists. The commitments of racial theorists to discursive formulations of racial disadvantage and the categorical plurality of identities have done nothing to arrest the acceleration of right-wing ideology and the adjustment of white social behavior towards the goal of preserving white racial heritage. This paper will argue that racial disposability—gratuitous violence—is better explained by linking white endogamy to the misandric aggression driving anti-Black racism, xenophobia, and ethno-nationalism.
