Too bad Jews have legitimate claim to being a minority. As Jews, we can develop diseases that specifically only affect Jews, an example being tay-sachs and another being the “sensitive Jew stomach”.
Actually, fun fact: Tay-Sachs actually can also affect French Canadians of southeastern Quebec, the Old Order Amish of Pennsylvania, and the Cajuns of southern Louisiana. Weird, huh?
Also, I have no idea why you think this is relevant to anything.
Something else to consider is the enemy we have in common, Nazis, would love for you and everyone else to think that white passing Jews are just white because that helps to diminish Jewish culture and make us nothing. It helps remove our sense of self and belonging just like the christofacists and their “pray away the gay camps” do for your community.
Nazis are pretty explicitly the ones that insist that white Jews aren’t white. Go ask one, they’ll tell you all about it.
Broader white culture, though, has absorbed white Jews the same way it absorbed white Irish people and white Italians and is well on its way to absorbing white latinos too. Whiteness is a very adaptable ideology that is constantly changing to preserve itself, and has no trouble accepting new ethnicities into the white racial group.
As for my white privilege, I hate but acknowledge that I have it and I gladly use it to help out anyone I can could needs a hand. Be an ally for us Jews just as most of us are for your community. Sorry for the others, bad apples in every batch I’m afraid.
Okay, but then what was the point of this discussion? If white Jews have white privilege, then I don’t see a reason why Israel can’t be identified as a white settler colony. Again, look at the positions of power and wealth in Israel and you’ll mostly see white faces. There’s a reason for that.
