Having lived in a majority white city where they divided themselves between countries of origin, this would happen.
Until a large Hispanic influx northeast PA had Italian sections, Irish sections, Lithuanian sections, Polish sections, etc. When my ex’s grandmother met me she asked me “what are you?” despite us both being white.
No, we’d simply find some other difference to get divided on.
It’d be regions/land-based, probably. “Southern pride,” etc…just without the racism. Fuck those star-bellied sneeches across the river.
Or people would simply be divided over what race they used to be.
After a few generations, they’d start to forget
Look up Cagots, then.

She was old enough to remember that none of those origins was considered white.
And people would also track down and document what race people used to be before the change happened so that they could keep on hating too.
I vote we use wealth.
Unfortunately it’s the wealthy people who decide.
