Worst of Social Justice

[Askold]

Jews aren't white? I grew up in Miami...and had no idea the Jews I dated were colored people, after all. Gee.

You seem to have misunderstood me.  Over half of Israel's Jewish population is Mizrahi, i.e. Middle Eastern.

So, "Middle Eastern" is a race now? Semites, you mean. Southern Europeans are genetically very close to Middle Easterners from centuries of over-lapping ancient nations and trade routes. Are Italians and Greeks, Albanians, Spaniards, the Portuguese and even the Romany also "not white"?

Granted that race is scientifically meaningless, it is nevertheless politically important . So, in Israel today, there are Jews who emigrated from Europe where their families had lived for centuries, and there are the Sephardic Jews who lived in the region all along, for many more centuries. Are the European Jews white, and the Sephardic not?

You know, that's actually a good question.  How exactly does one define "white"?

Arguments like this is why I am starting to hate the term "white." On one end we have the KKK types with their "One drop" definition where having a single ancestor who isn't "white" (according to their strict definition) makes you "not part of their special club for awesome white people" while on the other hand there are other ethnic groups with quite pale skin so purely from skin colour it would make sense to call them "white." Saami for example, who may be as white as the average Nordic person. Which reminds me, currently the Saami are having a legal dispute in Finland as they are arguing over the definition of Saami. Currently apart, from being related to other Saami you also need to be voted for by some council to be able to legally be called a Saami and there are very few of these "purebloods" left and much more people who would want to be called Saami and may identify as such but the council does not want to approve their petitions. It is basically an argument whether an group can determine their members vs the right of an individual to define what group he belongs to.  (The outsiders are people who have Saami blood but "not enough" according to the council. So none of this "I am 1/64th Cherokee" in Finland. If you aren't 100% Saami from certain groups of lineage then you are a filthy outsider trying to steal their noble heritage.)

All these disputes over ethnicity and we can't even agree on the definitions.

While we're talking about defining "white":



I'd like to know if this person thinks non-whites (I refuse to say "POC") can be racist against other non-whites.

I dont know what they think, but in my experience some "non-whites" are considerably more racist against other "non-whites" in my country. Apartheid might have been institutionalized racism and oppression of whites against blacks, but since the end of it, many people of Indian and Chinese decent are extremely racist against the black people of this country.

I dont know if it can be called racism though, but there is a special kind of hatred in this country for black middle class people who say hire a maid. It is like the average poor black person in this country sees their success as some kind of betrayal.

Just some random thoughts dont even know why I added any of this.

Social Justice.

By which they mean - We finally get to be the bullies.

[Ironchew]

Previous FQA threads have firmly established he doesn't really want cis people to kill themselves. Where's your sense of humor, UP?

[rookie]

You know, there are agencies you can call if you really feel threatened by crap like this.

As to the whole white people and slavery, I kinda want ti see reactions when they piece together where the mean old white men got those slaves from.

[WatermelonRat]

Oh, ADF.

I'm guessing this person isn't aware that most Iranians are white.

[mellenORL]

Yep. Can't tell an Iranian/Persian from an Italian or Spaniard until maybe after they speak.

I've actually seen people say that the tribals who sold their countrymen to white people were tricked by said white people.  Because slavery is so different in Africa.  To that I say bullshit.  They knew what they were getting into.

Ironbite-getting a lot of money.

[Ultimate Paragon]

It's like they're trying their hardest to make me become the sexist white supremacist they believe me to be.  I swear, if the Aryan Nation isn't using these posts as recruitment tools, they're missing out.

Also, the "trans people are the devil's nukes" quote was proven to be a hoax. In fact, the current pope invited a trans man to the Vatican and confirmed that he was a son of God and hugged him. He effectively gave a legitimization of transsexuality to all Christians who follow him.

[Sigmaleph]

Haven't heard of that devil's nukes thing is, but the Pope did compare gender theory to nuclear weapons. Might be what they meant.
