If 'whiteness' has any affirmative cultural content, it lies in the jazz style rural white Americans invented in the 1970s and 1980s.

Because, if there ever was an actual affirmative cultural content to "whiteness"that didn't actually signify "not a member of a degraded caste", a concept of "white genius" that didn't make you sound like one of Stephen Miller's favorite accounts on X, it inheres in the style of jazz invented by "white" Americans from rural backgrounds in the 1970s and into the '80s.
