“Her name suggests she might be Jewish - maybe, I don’t know - but what if someone wrote a piece called “Yes, Jews, It is About You”. I bet she wouldn’t like that.”

Jews aren’t white?

I mean I know some of us Jews aren’t white. But I got a lecture about having white privilege the other day.

Are we Jews subject to white privilege penalties without getting white privilege?

So confusing.

And, anyway, to your point, the UN regularly says “yes, Jews, It is About You.” We Jews are pretty used to getting the blame for everything.

Bummer. Hopefully you had some witty retort.

That's what you get for acting white.

Who said that?

“We Jews are pretty used to getting the blame for everything.”

Clearly not with Ann Friedman - if she is Jewish, that is.

Visiting a number of extreme right-wing websites (Takis' Mag) you will discover many of its members convinced that Jews are not white. I guess then anybody from a Mediterranean country is not white. That would also leave out Spaniards, Italians, Greeks, certain Slavs (like me), and some other ethnicities.

Some of these people don't even consider Poles, Czechs, and other eastern Europeans as white. Which is why I personally don't like to get caught up in ridiculous arguments about who is white and who is not. I guess I'm "white," but what do I know?

My wife, who grew up in England, recently discovered she has a black ancestor going back maybe five hundred years. If you look at my wife, you would not say she was anything but white. But again, what do I know? I'm just some untermensch.(snicker)
