I have two questions.

-First, the left considers Jews to be White from time to time based on white privilege, and as a counter to antisemites claiming they aren't White. Not that white privilege is real, but they use it as a barometer for Jews being considered White. Even without Whites having privilege today, is there such a common characteristic that groups Jews in with the rest of the Whites?

-Along with the "Irish and Italians" story, the Jewish people were considered White by U.S. census and immigration standards for some time, yet they overall are less considered White than other European groups.
