Middle East - North African people being considered white fouls up the oppressor/non-oppressor split that underlines the anti-Semitic racism of the pro-Hamas crowd. The perpetrator/rapist Hamas people are actually white. Changing the definition fixes this problem.
Unfortunately, in Africa the white North Africans viciously oppress many black people, but New York folks can overlook that./sarc

“the current system shuts MENA individuals out of qualifying for minority-owned business grants, language programs and other critical government “
Pointing out that it’s a scam to get money and preferences for themselves by discriminating against other Whites.

Go ahead. Make white people a distinct minority. Then watch them use all your anti-discrimination laws and tantrums against you.

"legislation, sponsored by Assemblywoman Jessica González-Rojas (D-Queens) and Sen. Michael Gianaris (D-Queens), would mandate state agencies and other entities use separate categories for Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) New Yorkers when collecting demographics data "

However, state Assemblyman Alec Brook-Kransy, a Brooklyn-based Dem-turned-Republican, disagreed, saying he believes the endgame is “de-whiting” New York.
Interesting, someone in Brooklyn who decided to join the sane party!
“I am deeply concerned that this further separation of New Yorkers into categories . . . may lead to more division,” he said. “If the desire is inclusion, then why are we pushing a path of forcing legislation that will clearly result in separation and further division in our society?”
Because, they want to divide us, not unite us!
State Assemblyman Sam Pirozzolo (R-Staten Island) agreed, saying the bill stinks of “hypocrisy.”
Agree 100%

It took awhile but yeah Irish were eventually added to the ranks of white. But fresh off the boat? Nope.

Extraordinary that merely passing legislation can affect how “white” someone is...

"That’s what they said about Italians in NY a 100 years ago."They were still saying that when I was growing up 40-plus years ago.
In fact, some people still say it - including young people.
"Black," "white," and "brown" have always been subjective terms.
