2) we don't have the ability/motivation to successfully communicate on this topic.
Frankly, people who are using e.g. "American" and expecting it to be understood as "white Americans" may be trying to suck me into their game, but they succeed only to the extent that they fail at any specifically white-hegemonic meta-game they may be playing. If they advocate for laws to help the poor, expecting non-white poor to be excluded, I'm going to be supporting their measure in a somewhat simplified form ;-( If they are just blathering about how good "we" are, I'm probably going to be ignoring them. And if they say innocent things in one venue, and something else at their friendly neighbourhood KKK rally, someone's going to make it their business to post their more incriminating statements.
If they have the sense of a moldy turnip, they aren't bothering to attempt to influence me.
