[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I practice law in Arlington. Josh Katcher isn’t a reform prosecutor. He is a return to biased, win-first mentality prosecution. The difference in his values and character and Parisa Delghani-Tafti  is that he, as a white male, comfortably says the N-word in court. Parisa, a woman of color, never would. https://medium.com/@arlingtoncriminaljustice/an-open-letter-to-the-arlington-county-falls-church-legal-community-and-democratic-primary-voters-942f39b71adb[/quote]

On what planet is Parisa a woman of color?

She’s Iranian, so not-white. Her husband is Black. [/quote]

I realize that this is a complex and difficult topic, but in my view she is white by any meaningful definition of the term.  Obviously others may differ, but if your definition of "white" is limited to someone of European descent, that's an unjustifiably narrow view which seems designed to simply single out people of European origin.[/quote]

Some schools have started including a Middle Eastern ethnicity box to check for identification purposes. As you said, it’s not a clear cut topic.[/quote]
