...technically a minority,...
_______________________________________
But not the right sort of minority.

In fact, there is recently a concerted effort to blame everything the globalist/communist front are implementing on Jews. And it’s no longer just Ashkenazi. Israel is becoming the international enemy of the West. There are many, many Sepharad and Mizrahi in Israel and, of course, Ethiopian Jews. But, the Western globalist media tends to emphasize degree of observance to divide Israeli Jews.

Secular globalist collectivists of Jewish ethnicity are marginally acceptable. For now.

You’re right. There is no there there when it comes to who is classified latino/hispanic/etc. I had friends whose (English decended) family emigrated to Uruguay. When the kids moved back, they were “hispanic” according to federal guidelines.

My Grandparents on my mother’s side came over because of persecution. My grandparents on my father’s side came over because of persecution and economics. I’m an American. Not some blah, blah, blah-American. My ancestors countries may have changed, but I have no desire to identify with or go back to those countries. I’m an American. The Constitution describes my rights as an American. If you want to be an *****-American, and assign your cultural heritage in place of the Constitution, please allow me to set your table on Thanksgiving with the children.

I’m tired of these people appropriating “Americans”. Americans are based om the Constitution. These people are not Americans in thought and mind. They only use the Constitution to abuse America.

Psychiatrist Jeffrey Rosenberg in “Love at First Bite”:

“My real name is Van Helsing, I changed it to Rosenberg for professional reasons.”

“Who cares?”

That is the question. Do we go forward with silly tribalism or move on. Claiming minority status has become a victim status money maker which will make it hard to break. It is an industry based upon the same base instincts of the Third Reich, sweetened with a little more civility.

“How does that race divide BS taste right now, lefties?”

Probably someday soon, the Left will encourage people to wear badges to identify their level of ethnicity/ethnic privilege.
