kinfolk is another way of saying "you're not our kind, dear." but in a hipper, more portlandia sort-of way.

kinspiracy tumblr would have been better without the "white people" bit, just pandering to future denizens of a deeper circle of hell than that represented by the audience for "Kinfolk" itself.
(Surely this has been covered right? That they can't do this "white people" thing again without revealing their essentialist notions of other races? That other races aren't just "naturally creative," as their dopey little joke about making white people feel creative implies? That this is "natural rhythm" territory? That people in other races are just as good at being bourgeois and boring, and shouldn't have to endure a complex about it built around it being "acting white"?)

everybody in all those photos are whitei mean i dunno about who's wearing the boots but it seems like a safe bet

xp I think it goes both ways. I think it does imply essentialist notions about other races, but at the same time, not talking about white ethnicity centers whiteness as the invisible default.

just clicked through to some of the instagrams that are linked to from the front page and at least two of those people are not white

everybody in all those photos are white; if you wanna argue that the curation on the tumblr could be done better that's maybe a different issue than what i'm responding to.

fwiw, one of the first nine is an Asian dude and another is a Romanian woman so it seems to extend further than straight-up American WASP style.

There is an argument to be made that there's a soft 'blood and soil' fascism to the whole thing but you can say that about a lot of minimalist, back-to-nature, quasi-rustic stuff.

ultimately this is the "oh he's so hilarious" cult of Boris stuff that large swathes of the UK actually like. It's also why he could have easily beaten Kieth in the next election.
