Whiteness has so many different definitions that the word is “ nothing less than a moving target .” Arnsen moreover notes that whiteness studies scholars are entirely on the far left of the political spectrum, and suggests that their apparent vitriol towards white Americans is due in part to white workers not fulfilling the predictions of Marxist theory that the proletariat would overcome racial, national and class distinctions to unite and overthrow capitalism ; he cites as an example Roediger ’ s afterword to the seminal < I > Wages of Whiteness </ i > which asserts that the book was written as a reaction to “ the appalling extent to which white male workers voted for Reaganism in the 1980s .” Arnsen also argues that in the absence of supporting evidence, whiteness studies often relies on amateurish Freudian speculation about the motives of white people: “ The psychoanalysis of whiteness here differs from the ' talking cure ' of Freudianism partly in its neglect of the speech of those under study .” Without more accurate scholarship, Arnsen writes that “ it is time to retire whiteness for more precise historical categories and analytical tools .”
