albaphobia

A rhetorical reflex where people react with discomfort, denial, or hostility when whiteness is named as a cultural identity. It’s not a clinical fear—it’s a pushback against reflection. Albaphobia shows up when efforts to acknowledge white cultural heritage (see Albaveneration) are mischaracterized as divisive or unnecessary.
“Albaphobia emerged quickly when the panel proposed albaveneration as a framework for cultural reflection.”
