I don't think there are very many people in the US who are "anti-white." I think a majority of Americans are against white supremacism, or a racial hegemony/hierarchy that has "whites" at the top. That doesn't mean I want a hierarchy that has another group at the top, I want no hegemonic order at all. I think most Americans would prefer it if we could all just see each other as, well, Americans.
I realize that's easier said than done in this very divided era. I can't deny that I have a hard time seeing some people as my countryman, because their culture, beliefs, and ideals are so much different than mine. I'd like it if we could reach some kind of consensus on what it means to be an American. I think we will reach a consensus, but getting there is going to be... contentious.
I'm certain there are people racist against white people. But I've never felt like a political party was anti-white. I've never felt attacked as a white person.
I think some people have been taught by their parents that their identity is tied to their heritage. And their heritage happens to be slave owners, or in some cases traitors who committed treason to protect slavery.
