[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm still not clear on what OP is looking for.

Are people who comit antisemitic crimes not being held accountable?

It’s not about that.  Also not hard to understand: OP is presumably white (note - there are African Jews, though very few live in America).

OP seeks to be an ally.  But she benefits from white privilege and affluence.  So it’s difficult to truly accept her as a real ally; she has never experienced racial oppression like the POC/BIPOC.

Stop. There are Jews of Color in the US- estimated to be 12% of the Jewish population.

Wait - so you’re saying 88% of Jewish people in the US benefit from white privilege?[/quote]

This is the shallowest interpretation of diversity ever.

Listen. If you're black and Christian, you don't have white privilege, but you do have Christian privilege.  Jews have white privilege but don't have Christian privilege.  If you think the [i]only[/i] kind of privilege is white privilege then your view of the world is pretty simplistic. People who are able-bodied have privilege; people who are straight have privilege;  people who are affluent have privilege. It shouldn't break anyone's brain to says that diversity, equity, and inclusion should include all of those who are marginalized, not just those who lack white privilege.[/quote]

The importance here is:

- we need to segregate people by race, religion, and affluence.

How can we make any progress on ending racism/discrimination if we cannot firmly segregate?[/quote]
