[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So on the left we have people who hate Jews because they're white European colonizers trying to commit genocide against non-whites.

And on the right we have people who hate Jews because Jews hate white people and have been trying to replace them with non-whites.

It's nuts. [/quote]

Jews are white people, many of whom pretend to be non-whites so they can join the anti-white pile-on. Many actual non-whites go along with the charade.[/quote]

Well, clearly white supremacists don't think they're white, judging by the tweet and the conspiracy theory behind it.

But if you're on the younger side, I can confirm that Jews were absolutely not considered white until [b]around twenty years ago[/b], when being white became a bad thing. As you can see from the comment you responded to, Jews are whatever people deem to be a negative. Jews might might not have been considered "people of color" (that term is a relatively new one), but they were considered "other" than white. [/quote]

This is not accurate. Jews in America essentially started to be considered white after the Holocaust, when people began to see overt antisemitism as something they maybe ought to set aside, and by the time of the civil rights era, they easily joined white flight out of cities into the suburbs. [b]Twenty years ago was... 2003! You don't think Jews were considered white by then?[/b]

This Washington Post article after the Pittsburgh shooting by a historian of American Jews has a pretty good overview of the way this all went: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/american-jews-always-believed-the-us-was-exceptional-we-were-wrong/2018/11/01/43be2f62-dd7c-11e8-b3f0-62607289efee_story.html[/quote]

I know they weren't. I'm Jewish myself. I remember very well when the change happened. After 9/11, there was a period of Islamophobia followed by an over-correction in the form of "white people bad, non-white people good". That was when I noticed that suddenly everyone was seeing me as white, but in the same negative way that they used to treat me as other than white. [/quote]
