I agree with the sentiment generally, but why are you focusing on Jews specifically?

You realize how that makes the argument seem invalid don't you?

I don't think Robin DiAngelo is Jewish, Bezos isn't Jewish, and neither are any of the dozens of POC authors they push.

Meanwhile people like Ben Shapiro are among the people that most espouse the opposite.

Jewish people are white.

Yeah I half agree. Jeff Bezos certainly ain’t Jewish. And I’m not sure if Klaus Schwab is (he’s Swiss, partly German). But Ben Shapiro is a grifter who praises John McCain, who claims that Jeffrey Epstein killer himself and who is the main reason why the media harassed Nick Sandman. Also, yes a lot of Jews are white, but not all of them. Some of them are black (Ethiopian), some are Chinese.

You got me on the Jewish thing. It's a faith that anyone can practice, and also four distinct ethnicities, where only Ashkenazi and Sephardic are white, Ethiopian and middle eastern Jews are not white.

As for the Ben Shapiro/Nick Sandmann thing, what are you talking about? This is the first time I have heard about that at all. It's my understanding that he largely rushed to Sandmann's defense after the media had slammed him. What am I missing here?

Interestingly I have a pic of my Nan's class at school from the 1940s which was 50% Jewish, likely Ashkenazi, and they don't look white at all.

This is something which has changed over the last century and explains how Jews were much easier to pick out and discriminate against in the past.
