at least some of this white liberalism actually originated among pragmatically motivated Jews passing as white to promote their own rights alongside those of others

Uh, aren't most Jews white?

If you read the rest of the article, the author's point in that, in the 1950s and 60s, Jews were seen by white Protestants as "minorities," not "whites," and were supporting the civil rights movement as a pragmatic way to protect their own rights. There is something to what she is saying, but I think she overstates it.
