As a Cuban Jew, what I see is white people increasingly being portrayed AS HATE so that the words “white” and “hate” are being narratively portrayed as synonymous.

“#StandAgainstHate” = “#StandAgainstWhite”

I feel bad for white people and I’m glad I converted while I still had the chance.

I agree with the rest of your comment though - I feel they've been doing this for a long time. Via the concept of "White Privilege" too.

Hypothetically, you could literally be a first generation mentally ill homeless white American who's not getting the help they need (and have a background where despite being white, you come from a lineage of slavery such as the Irish, Romanians, and even European Jews and Catholics), yet you still have some invisible, unmanifested "White Privilege" that automatically makes your life easier than those of any other ethnic-background - because "your ancestors helped build the country off of slavery and imperialism which somehow benefits you", again, in some unforeseeable way.

I've seen this card pulled so many times in protest compilation videos, where "white privilege" obviously wasn't helping the other party out, and despite that party agreeing with the person attacking them, their voice/opinion was null because of their skin color being white.
