After 53 years of benefiting from my white privilege, it is now time for me to say goodbye to my fleet of yachts, my dozens of private jets, and my guaranteed exemptions from cancer, heart disease, and stroke.
Just like that, I am now a racial minority.
According to this article from NPR, I am now a member of the MENA group.
The article includes this handy dandy chart:
Appalachian? Poor White trash? Where’s my ticket?
Get with the program man. You’re now a member of the uncool unprotected ethnicity, Jewish. That don’t fly in Woke culture. Try to trans-ethnic yourself instead. LOL.
What new benefits are you “entitled” to? 🤔💰👍
Is anyone else fed up with this nonsense?! I stand with Morgan Freeman (the actor) and what he said: stop talking about race.
For 50 years whites have been discriminated against openly at Ivy Leagues, not a word.
Some people say “mean things” to Jews, Congress holds hearings and Presidents get let go.
Can you get free stuff?
Sign me up for a white privilege card. Does it come with discounts on goods and services? How about frequent user points that can be redeemed for purchases? Heck I’ll even give some away as gift cards for the benefit of those other ‘oppressed minorities’. Sign me up for those pale faced privileges ASAP!
The Oscars now require that a film include (behind or in front of the camera) a quota of nonwhites for the film to be eligible for an Academy Award. But nonwhite can include Middle Eastern, so Israeli Jews (e.g., Natalie Portman, Gal Gadot) can check the nonwhite box.
I guess, because of the historic discrimination that Jewish Israeli actors have long suffered from Hollywood.
I was white all my life until I found my family tree.
According to the Mormons my maternal grandfathers family were practically straight up Cherokee miscegenators starting in the 1670s.
My clan as far as I have found,passed maternally
,is Paint.
When the Dawes Rolls came out all were passing as “white”.
I have a great great grandmother named Little Owl.
Since Jews claim to originate from ancient Israel, I wonder if any Jew -- even converts? -- can check Israeli.
I wonder if Arabs, Muslims, Palestinians, even Thais and Filipinos, born in Israel can check Israeli.
(Yes, Israel is home to tens of thousands of Filipino guest workers.)
Recently made up a new list of proposed Protected Class ethnic minorities overlooked by the EEOC. To wit:
British-American
English-American
Welsh-American
Pictish-American
Frisian-American
Scots-Irish American
Anglo-American
Saxon-American
Breton-American
Frankish-American
Danish-American
Nederland-American
Austrian-American...etc
You get the idea. All of Europe is defined by a LOT of ethnicities with different languages, genetics, looks, customs, history and grudges. When do they all get the same privileges that so far have accrued to basically the rest of the planet?
Currently about 670 million people in Spain , South and Central America and Mexico all enjoy Protected Class status the moment they cross the border into the United States. In no way are they a “minority” compared to anyone except the inhabitants of India, China and Africa. So uh...how come they outrank us pale people?
I identify as:1. A follower of YESUA. 2. An American. 3. Of the Jewish people.
According to my mother, we’re Black-Irish.
I see Filipinos are considered “Asian” and not from a Pacific Island. Things that make you go, “Hmmmm....”
Good luck driving from the Philippines to anywhere else in “Asia”!
You’re still White, just smarter. ;-)
You forgot Czech-American. That’s what I am.
Oh the full list includes Czechs without a doubt. Recall the “etc” at the end. Actually came up with a list about 50 lines long.
Need to insist that the “government” accepts it so we can all be “equal” as Protected Classes. And ultimately make that designation as meaningless as it is un-Constitutional.
