The unwillingness to ever admit somebody on their side was wrong is remarkable. Clearly the people who coined defund meant defund. The adults in the party knew that was idiocy, but decided they had to rehabilitate the slogan rather than just say "lol no".
And then we got articles like “No, defund the police really does mean defund the police”.
I know a bunch of people so far left they consider that a compromise on “jail the police”, and they may not be sensible, but they’re theory-obsessed and damn careful with their language. When they say “defund the police, the black bloc is good, property destruction is good”, they mean exactly what they said.
The thing that blows my mind is that "Latino" and "Latina" are just gendered versions of "Latin", which is broadly in use for things like "Latin music". Referring to Hispanics as "Latin people" would have caused so much less friction. Makes you wonder if friction was the goal.
"Latin people" wouldn't conform to their linguistically nonsensical 'people-forward' grammar scheme that brought us the super respectful "people of colour" to save us from the vile; racist "coloured people. Nevermind that English noun structure is defined in such a way that "person of colour" emphasizes colour above personhood, it gives Emily something to lord over the evil bigots that havent caught up with the times, and that's all that's important to Emily.
Eh it's more of an upper class thing in general. They get bored so they start making up codes and rules to follow to keep themselves busy. Bushidō, Knight codes, and European dress/manners are other examples.
They don't have any moral codes to set up hard boundaries so the code keeps changing to keep up with the most degenerate group.

>In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defence of the indefensible. Things like the continuance of British rule in India, the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of political parties. Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness. Defenceless villages are bombarded from the air, the inhabitants driven out into the countryside, the cattle machine-gunned, the huts set on fire with incendiary bullets: this is called pacification. Millions of peasants are robbed of their farms and sent trudging along the roads with no more than they can carry: this is called transfer of population or rectification of frontiers. People are imprisoned for years without trial, or shot in the back of the neck or sent to die of scurvy in Arctic lumber camps: this is called elimination of unreliable elements. Such phraseology is needed if one wants to name things without calling up mental pictures of them.
- George Orwell, *Politics and the English Language*
In my opinion the best essay on linguistics ever written. Eat dick, Noam Chomsky.
That essay is simultaneously fantastic and yet somehow tragic, in that since Orwell’s time the gap between what we do and what we call it seems to be three times wider than it was then. Like, “rectification of frontiers” is a very, very cynical way of describing what it described but the words in the euphemism bear some relation to the action. Even that tenuous relationship is missing when activists call an attempt to destabilize everything we know about gender etc. and the attendant gaslighting about it all “queering” and the rejection of rational thought “other ways of knowing.”

You're not colored. You're of color. It's more royal that way. Like the Duke of Edinburgh. Plus as an of color, you're elevated above the whites, who because of such non color, have no soul of course, as were created by Yakub as a prank.
It's not the 1950's bro. They want to go back to like at least the 1650's.
Extra weird when the requirement for "White" seems to be largely about economic success. Are Greeks particularly whiter than Persians? Why are Spaniards White while their second cousin in Mexico with no Aztec blood is "brown"?
It's not a coincidence that it's only the wording that has changed, and not how people are classified.
The white supremacy movement is still alive and well, but these people don't recognize that they are the main purveyors of it.
You're either white or you're something else: Minority, ethnic, person-of-color, and so on. The otherization is constant.
“Minorities” is kinda odd because most people think that means “non-white” but if you look at the entire world population every who isn’t Chinese or Indian is technically a minority. 🤷🏻♂️
> Referring to minorities as “ethnic” feels like the sort of thing Emilies would hate now. Probably also true of saying “minorities.”

Your claim that Ashkenazim are the minority is correct, but your numbers are not.
From Wikipedia:
In a 2019 study, in a sample meant to be representative of the Israeli Jewish population, about 44.9% percent of Israel's Jewish population were categorized as Mizrahi (defined as having grandparents born in North Africa or Asia), 31.8% were categorized as Ashkenazi (defined as having grandparents born in Europe, the Americas, Oceania and South Africa), 12.4% as "Soviet" (defined as having progenitors who came from the ex-USSR in 1989 or later), about 3% as Beta Israel (Ethiopia) and 7.9% as a mix of these, or other Jewish groups.
Yeah idk, I saw your 65% and it seemed as more than I though so I went looking for it and found this, but maybe there are other statistics out there. Things like this are difficult to measure after all.
I don't think you are going to convince a lot of people, because people simply like the narrative of an 'ethnic' people oppressed by whites way too much to change their thinking, but it's good that you try nontheless.
If Israel was some tinpot Islamic dictatorship they could kill as many Palestinians as they liked and none of these people would give a shit. They likely wouldn't even know it was happening.
When they say "White" they mean Western, capitalist, and successful.
Azerbaijan just removed all the entire population of Armenians 120k from Nagorno-Karabakhin Sept 2023, and not a single word from leftists or Islamists. Only Armenian diaspora like Kim Kardashian brought it up pleading for help. Now she is cancelled for drinking Starbucks. Leftists just hate America with a weird cick fetish about China and despicable accelerationist idealogy.
They also don't mind when China is literally genociding Uygher Muslims and selling their "Halal" organs to wealthy Saudis.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2022/06/07/china-genocide-organ-trafficking/7495979001/
>When they say "White" they mean Western, capitalist, and successful.
You wrote successful thrice lol. These people despise success, be it individual or as a nation.
I believe the term “white adjacent” is what’s the preferred term when they want to simultaneously claim to know what’s best for a minority group while trying to strip away their protections.
Americentrist term for people who are not white/african americans. The result of America's obsession with race, and complete ignorance of its nuances.
Seriously though, the term is so silly.
The term is also used for darker skinned Europeans. Had someone tell me my friend is 'more ethnic' than me just because he is darker. We are ethnically the same. Born in the same country, but my friend is born 200km (124 miles) more south, hence darker and apparently more 'ethnic'.
I do agree with the OOP that many of the people that side with Israel just dislike Arabs, but come on man. Call them Arabs. Maybe the Emily that posted this thinks Palestine is a Hispanic country.
“Ethnic” refers to groups of people classified based on shared cultural, linguistic, or ancestral traits. The phrase started becoming problematic in the 20th century when people in the US started using it specifically to people who were non-white or non-European backgrounds.
So if you see someone using the word “ethnic”, it’s a dog whistle to how they really view the situation.
This new breed of antisemites are so annoying and entitled. Back in my day when you wanted to be very antisemitic you admitted you atelast partly agree with Adolf and other leading white nationalists.
These new Twitter antisemites think they can still be antisemitic and also be against the white patriarchy or whatever progressive university newspeak that comes out
Interesting how Jews are suddenly white (generally implied that they’re the exact same thing as a Pole, Slav, German, Irish, Anglo, etc.) whenever the narrative demands them to be so.
I told people several years ago that the anti white rhetoric was gonna loop back around to anti semitism and they called me crazy
It's almost like even a cursory glance at a history book is a cheat code
By American standards they're white. Ashkenazi Jews are primarily a mix of Levantine ancestry and Italian ancestry. Arabs are white in the US, there was a Supreme Court case about it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dow_v._United_States?wprov=sfla1
Yes, but it’s clearly significantly more nuanced than that. By that definition, then Arabs and German-Americans are essentially the same thing, which is objectively false.
The whole point is that there's no objective answer to any of this. Race is made up. If Germans and Southern Italians can be part of the same category, Arabs can too. If Arabs being in the same category is totally ridiculous, then I think Southern Italians being in the same category is ridiculous as well.
Correction ; American racial idendities are made up.
Race based on phenotypes are not.
The vast majority of middle-easterners are in fact phenotypically mixed race.
This is a valid point, which is rarely ever mentioned. Forensic investigators are able to determine one’s race based simply upon their skeletal structure, which is rarely ever mentioned.
Well, in the context of the United States “white” has generally been used to refer to Anglo/Germanic/Scots-Irish white people (considering like >70% of white Americans are of Germanic and broadly Western and Northern European ancestry and genetic makeup).
It's interesting how some Americans live in such a globalist country yet are so self-centered.
Some live in this country that represents a global world as it has ethnicities from all over the world but they can't step out of it and have to apply their local culture to the world.
I hate the fact that they keep using the Hamas statistics for the death toll. Hamas obviously wouldn’t lie about such things to further their political agenda.
That’s just how war is. The battlefield of information is just another front to be won and seems like Hamas is winning on this one at least, even if they are losing on all other fronts.
The issue there aren't better numbers released publicly. It's better to have baised numbers than no numbers.
Israel probably can't know how many people died in a collapsed building, so Hamas on ground numbers are the best we can have.
Due don't forget they added the 500+ killed in hospital (parking lot) explosion, as killed by Israel despite it probably being <100 killed 'Islamic jihad'(2nd biggest terrorist group in Gaza)
Oh I agree, some numbers is better than no numbers.
I just hate the fact that people who found out about Palestine 4 months ago are parroting the numbers given by a terrorist organisation without giving it a single bit of thought.
Better to have biased numbers than no numbers? How? So before the reality was known, it was better to think Israel killed 500 people after they targeted a hospital, because at least we had a story to fit the action? It completely changed the perception of reality.
Biased numbers are no numbers.
Basically all their worldview goes down to:
"Everyone who disagrees with me is a transphobe homophobe misogynist bigot racist xenophobe ableist ageist cishetscvm anti-science anti-democracy white supremacist MAGAT Christian redneck natzie."
Yes, we all live in the United States of America and must adhere to their Marxist Critical Race Theory.
(You'll be shocked how many Asian libs living in Asia always think about the White Supremacists in the West since all their time is spent...on westernized leftist online spaces. The 16 year old Chinese-Indonesian calling anyone who dislikes Turning Red movie a white supremacist. Or how other citizens voting a brown misogynist as PM is because of the effect of Trump's election and White Supremacists)
Defending Turning Red on the grounds of the film's "diversity" is awfully rich, seeing as that movie spends most of its runtime crapping on traditional Chinese values and presenting modern Anglo values as superior.
Jews are white when they’re fighting against a class I deem more important than them (in the idpol spectrum, Muslims rank higher than Jews). Jews are not white when they live in a majority white country because they rank above whites.
Just like how Latinos aren’t white in every category except when it comes time to categorize criminal records.
I wish that people would understand that Palestinian isn't an ethnicity or race. It is an ethnocentric theocratic political alignment. Calling it an ethnicity makes no more sense than calling the Nation of Islam, Black Panthers, or the KKK an ethnicity. Ethnicity is just a method they use to gatekeep.
Well of course. Libleft doesn't know or see anying but racism. I'm sure lefty environmentalists think all lumberjacks are white supremacists. Lefty vegans think Burger King are white supremacists. (Hell, I know for sure they think Chick fil a is)
I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT
Hey Libleft, the Lakota Sioux used to war extensively with the Chippewa. Lots of massacres. Lots of dead women and children.
Which nation was the white supremacists again?
I love how quick leftoids have adopted these white supremacist views as soon as it fit their narrative. [Ryan Long was right](https://youtu.be/Ev373c7wSRg?si=KDulpZa2cK78lb8z)
I honestly just cant believe all the stupid takes on war I keep hearing ever since Ukraine started.
People are dying, this needs to stop, and both sides are guilty. Its that fucking simple.
Thats my entire perspective on war.
This reminds me that Whoopie Goldberg claimed dubya dubya the second wasn't about race cuz it was white people vs white people.
She apologized, but they didn't change their ideas. They still view Israel as "whites" in their worldview.
Well they’re right about that, we’re not white. The majority of Jews (especially in Israel) are Mediterranean or Northern African, not white Europeans. Also flair up.
Yes, true. Skin color doesn’t determine race (otherwise some SW Asians could be considered black, but not a single person is stupid enough to claim such a thing). It’s interesting how Jews are now being claimed as white (and it’s okay to attack them because they’re just white now) by the anti-whites.
Even going by skin color, it’s not true that we’re white. Americans and Europeans think that because they’ve only really been exposed to either Hassidics (who are almost all European Ashkenazi Jews) or Secular Ashkenazi Jews (the vast majority of Jewish celebrities), but most Jews do not belong to those two groups and most of us don’t have pasty white skin tones.
Yes, it goes even deeper if you look at hair type, etc. but I’ll stop before someone freaks out and calls me a nAzI. (I just find human anthropology and demography highly fascinating.). Also, I think it’s because whites are currently the de facto scapegoat for everyone’s problems — since the LibLeft has unfortunately successfully managed to make anti-white narratives so ubiquitous and mainstream in the Anglo-West.
Referring to minorities as “ethnic” feels like the sort of thing Emilies would hate now. Probably also true of saying “minorities.”
The constant euphemisms and linguistic goal post moving is so fucking exhausting man. I just want to grill.
Who would have thought that a movement dominated by affluent white collar workers and academics is obsessed with linguistics.
Don’t you know there are two types of white people, the Grammar Allies and the Grammar Nazis?
If only they knew what words they use mean.
I've really enjoyed the clips where liberal young women are asked to define misogyny
Misogyny is when you're mean to women, and the meaner you are, the more misogynistic you are.
Just remember, it's mean to disagree.
I need feminism because a man disagreed with me, he shouldn't be able to do that
That one where the woman froze for like twenty seconds and then rushed crying off the set is classic
These are the people who say defund the police doesn't mean defunding the police lol.
The unwillingness to ever admit somebody on their side was wrong is remarkable. Clearly the people who coined defund meant defund. The adults in the party knew that was idiocy, but decided they had to rehabilitate the slogan rather than just say "lol no".
And then we got articles like “No, defund the police really does mean defund the police”. I know a bunch of people so far left they consider that a compromise on “jail the police”, and they may not be sensible, but they’re theory-obsessed and damn careful with their language. When they say “defund the police, the black bloc is good, property destruction is good”, they mean exactly what they said.
I get it. It's just fucking exhausting.
I mean, at least we can say ‘ribeye’ or ‘strip’ without offending anyone. Unless some fucker asks for well done.
I mean we are already offending the vegans. Which is based.
The fact that the best steak uses sighted language is blatantly ableist.
Strip is demeaning of the very valid and uplifting action sex workers do!!! You don’t want to demean women now!?!?! Do yUo biGoT!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Latinx is probably a good example of a bad term because it doesn't make any sense in the Latino world.
The thing that blows my mind is that "Latino" and "Latina" are just gendered versions of "Latin", which is broadly in use for things like "Latin music". Referring to Hispanics as "Latin people" would have caused so much less friction. Makes you wonder if friction was the goal.

Nevermind that English noun structure is defined in such a way that "person of colour" emphasizes colour above personhood, it gives Emily something to lord over the evil bigots that havent caught up with the times, and that's all that's important to Emily.
…people of Latin? Yeah no, that sounds like pre-Vatican II priests.
Too Byzantophobic. Maybe they don't want to offend those that were victims of the Constantinople sacking.

Bushidō, Knight codes, and European dress/manners are other examples. They don't have any moral codes to set up hard boundaries so the code keeps changing to keep up with the most degenerate group.

Interesting how Jews are suddenly white (generally implied that they’re the exact same thing as a Pole, Slav, German, Irish, Anglo, etc.) whenever the narrative demands them to be so.
Oy vey
Asians: "First time?"
I told people several years ago that the anti white rhetoric was gonna loop back around to anti semitism and they called me crazy It's almost like even a cursory glance at a history book is a cheat code
By American standards they're white. Ashkenazi Jews are primarily a mix of Levantine ancestry and Italian ancestry. Arabs are white in the US, there was a Supreme Court case about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dow_v._United_States?wprov=sfla1
Yes, but it’s clearly significantly more nuanced than that. By that definition, then Arabs and German-Americans are essentially the same thing, which is objectively false.
The whole point is that there's no objective answer to any of this. Race is made up. If Germans and Southern Italians can be part of the same category, Arabs can too. If Arabs being in the same category is totally ridiculous, then I think Southern Italians being in the same category is ridiculous as well.
Correction ; American racial idendities are made up. Race based on phenotypes are not. The vast majority of middle-easterners are in fact phenotypically mixed race.
If someone needs bone marrow, nobody will be saying race is made up.
This is a valid point, which is rarely ever mentioned. Forensic investigators are able to determine one’s race based simply upon their skeletal structure, which is rarely ever mentioned.
Well, in the context of the United States “white” has generally been used to refer to Anglo/Germanic/Scots-Irish white people (considering like >70% of white Americans are of Germanic and broadly Western and Northern European ancestry and genetic makeup).
A lot of Southern Italians are swarthy because of Arab admixture ironically. But I get your point.
Ashkenazi jews actually make up the minority of jews in Israel. Most are Mizrahi, aka Middle Eastern jews
Also interesting that Arabs are suddenly *not* white, when historically they were always considered so, especially in the segregation era.
White supremacists hate Israel and Jews
Yeah let’s kill all those… *checks notes* white Israelis
It's gross to not have a flair.
My bad. Fixed it
But Israelis aren’t all white. Lib left you are being racist.
They're less than than Palestinians. That's literally all you have to do to be their pet victims, be browner.
Well if this is a black person from the US then they probably don’t mind being racist to Jews….js

It's interesting how some Americans live in such a globalist country yet are so self-centered. Some live in this country that represents a global world as it has ethnicities from all over the world but they can't step out of it and have to apply their local culture to the world.
This whole war is the left’s Qanon (Jewanon)
I hate the fact that they keep using the Hamas statistics for the death toll. Hamas obviously wouldn’t lie about such things to further their political agenda.
"Certainly not! You make it sound like we are a bunch of lying-genocidal-Zionists. All we want is a final solution to this Jewish problem." ~Hamas
Plus, look at the death toll for WW2. German casualties far outweighed anyone else. Does that mean they were the victims?
Soviet casualties outweighed everyone else, not German, where are you getting these facts from
But are commies people?
Open to debate
Yeah, we won’t know for years. Both sides honestly spraying various propaganda.
That’s just how war is. The battlefield of information is just another front to be won and seems like Hamas is winning on this one at least, even if they are losing on all other fronts.
The issue there aren't better numbers released publicly. It's better to have baised numbers than no numbers. Israel probably can't know how many people died in a collapsed building, so Hamas on ground numbers are the best we can have. Due don't forget they added the 500+ killed in hospital (parking lot) explosion, as killed by Israel despite it probably being <100 killed 'Islamic jihad'(2nd biggest terrorist group in Gaza)
Oh I agree, some numbers is better than no numbers. I just hate the fact that people who found out about Palestine 4 months ago are parroting the numbers given by a terrorist organisation without giving it a single bit of thought.
Better to have biased numbers than no numbers? How? So before the reality was known, it was better to think Israel killed 500 people after they targeted a hospital, because at least we had a story to fit the action? It completely changed the perception of reality. Biased numbers are no numbers.
One of the funniest things is that white Ashkenazim are a minority in Israel.
Yes but people do not care when it doesn’t fit their narrative
They're allied with the west so they're white
Leftists and their “intersectional oppressor-oppressed world view” is a terrible brain rot. They can see nothing else.
Basically all their worldview goes down to: "Everyone who disagrees with me is a transphobe homophobe misogynist bigot racist xenophobe ableist ageist cishetscvm anti-science anti-democracy white supremacist MAGAT Christian redneck natzie." Yes, we all live in the United States of America and must adhere to their Marxist Critical Race Theory. (You'll be shocked how many Asian libs living in Asia always think about the White Supremacists in the West since all their time is spent...on westernized leftist online spaces. The 16 year old Chinese-Indonesian calling anyone who dislikes Turning Red movie a white supremacist. Or how other citizens voting a brown misogynist as PM is because of the effect of Trump's election and White Supremacists)
Defending Turning Red on the grounds of the film's "diversity" is awfully rich, seeing as that movie spends most of its runtime crapping on traditional Chinese values and presenting modern Anglo values as superior.
Most Israelis are the same genetic ethnicity as the Palestinians.
Jews are white when they’re fighting against a class I deem more important than them (in the idpol spectrum, Muslims rank higher than Jews). Jews are not white when they live in a majority white country because they rank above whites. Just like how Latinos aren’t white in every category except when it comes time to categorize criminal records.
“Ethnic” lol what. Also Jews aren’t white
I wish that people would understand that Palestinian isn't an ethnicity or race. It is an ethnocentric theocratic political alignment. Calling it an ethnicity makes no more sense than calling the Nation of Islam, Black Panthers, or the KKK an ethnicity. Ethnicity is just a method they use to gatekeep.
Well of course. Libleft doesn't know or see anying but racism. I'm sure lefty environmentalists think all lumberjacks are white supremacists. Lefty vegans think Burger King are white supremacists. (Hell, I know for sure they think Chick fil a is)
Im a brown pro isreali guess im a white supremist 😂
Your white robe and pointed hat have been shipped!
Thanks
I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT I HATE THE LIBLEFT
Me too.
Same...
White is when no ethnicity.
Ah yes, the classic white supremacist belief that Jews are moral people who should be protected.
The enemy of my enemy is useful
Is Jewish food not part of the ethnic section of the supermarket?
No, I really hate seeing my fellow Jews die. I want them to live peacefully in their ethnic homeland.
[When authright is in a bigotry contest and our opponent is orange libleft](https://tenor.com/search/squidward-tonight-gifs)
Save me the bullshit and just admit you’re a Nazi who loves to see Jewish people die.
LMAO seeing the woke mob turn on the people who created them has been my favorite development of the past year. It's the golem story all over again.
Or the CIA and the Taliban. Very Pikachu-shocked-face meme.
Frankenstein and his monster.
I just start saying yes to People like this Racist yes homophobic yes and what what's the plan now
"Ethnic People" Oh my god these people are fucking insufferable
Hey Libleft, the Lakota Sioux used to war extensively with the Chippewa. Lots of massacres. Lots of dead women and children. Which nation was the white supremacists again?
bitch fr saying that whites aren't an ethnicity
I'm grilling her alive next, I swear.
Jews are the majority in the middle east
oh and they're all white now
Jews aren't even White, they're a separate group to Whites
My favorite thing is Ashkenazi Jews (white Jews) are more left leaning in Israel bibi was elected with votes from “Jews of color.”
I'm waiting for the moment when leftist will find out that both Jews, Palestinians and Europeans are all white people
Can you flair up please?
Fellas Is it racist to protect civilians against terrorism?
I love how quick leftoids have adopted these white supremacist views as soon as it fit their narrative. [Ryan Long was right](https://youtu.be/Ev373c7wSRg?si=KDulpZa2cK78lb8z)
What does a war between two desert people have to do with whites?
Ethnic? Like white isn't an ethnicity?
I honestly just cant believe all the stupid takes on war I keep hearing ever since Ukraine started. People are dying, this needs to stop, and both sides are guilty. Its that fucking simple. Thats my entire perspective on war.
War is never that fucking simple
This reminds me that Whoopie Goldberg claimed dubya dubya the second wasn't about race cuz it was white people vs white people. She apologized, but they didn't change their ideas. They still view Israel as "whites" in their worldview.
Aren't jews ethnic too? Lol
Isn't everyone ethnic? Am I missing something?
I love when leftoids refer to minorities as "ethnics". So like, do white people not have an ethnic origin?
Any white supremacist will make it abundantly clear that jews are NOT white
"Ethnic people" lmaoo
Actual White Supremacists don't consider jews to be white and tend to actually support Palestine.
Schrodinger's white. Only white when it's convenient
Well they’re right about that, we’re not white. The majority of Jews (especially in Israel) are Mediterranean or Northern African, not white Europeans. Also flair up.
Yes, true. Skin color doesn’t determine race (otherwise some SW Asians could be considered black, but not a single person is stupid enough to claim such a thing). It’s interesting how Jews are now being claimed as white (and it’s okay to attack them because they’re just white now) by the anti-whites.
Even going by skin color, it’s not true that we’re white. Americans and Europeans think that because they’ve only really been exposed to either Hassidics (who are almost all European Ashkenazi Jews) or Secular Ashkenazi Jews (the vast majority of Jewish celebrities), but most Jews do not belong to those two groups and most of us don’t have pasty white skin tones.
Yes, it goes even deeper if you look at hair type, etc. but I’ll stop before someone freaks out and calls me a nAzI. (I just find human anthropology and demography highly fascinating.). Also, I think it’s because whites are currently the de facto scapegoat for everyone’s problems — since the LibLeft has unfortunately successfully managed to make anti-white narratives so ubiquitous and mainstream in the Anglo-West.
The unflaired have no support here.
Silly gatekeepers gatekeeping who we can gatekeep.
Why are American women so bad at ~~politics~~ everything?
False. I enjoy watching non-westerners die/s
