[quote=Anonymous]Agree that it's not clear what it gets her to claim this "minority" status. Being Jewish in America is not helpful for any sort of affirmative action or diversity programs. All it gets you is hate crimes and undeserved ire from the conspiracy theorists on the extreme right and left. So I would give her the benefit of the doubt that she is just trying to express that she feels like part of the community. My husband is Latino and I do feel a connection to that community through him and our two boys, and I feel like to some extent, issues that affect them affect me as well. Of course, I would obviously never claim that makes me Latina or gives me some kind of minority status (I am white). Actually, one of my considerations in not taking his last name was that it would make people think I was Latina and that might lead to weird situations where I was a diversity candidate for a job or something. I look white, but so do lots of Hispanic people.[/quote]
