[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous] Ok so that’s DuBois. What about Carmichael? What about the Crown Heights riot? Jews assimilating has been a survival tactic. When we make our religion clear, we get attacked. That’s not becoming the white man; that’s hiding for survival.[/quote] I understand. Jews assimilate for various reasons, survival being one of them. But you are fixated on the reasons for assimilation while Baldwin was discussing the impact of assimilation and his community's perception of assimilated Jews. I see forms of this same debate frequently on DCUM. Variations such as "Are Jews white?" or "Do Jews benefit from white privilege?" come up from time to time. I think this reflects a struggle between attempting to both assimilate and retain a separate identity. Many Jews end up with a foot in both camps. Being part of the dominate culture and apart from it at the same time. The same may well be true of other groups if we analyzed them enough. [/quote]
