>Jews do this all the time

If you've ever wondered "Am I the asshole here" I think the above has your answer.

Actually, there are several different types of ethnicities described as Jewish (e.g., Ashkenazi). It’s almost as if a group of people of a certain religion have been so marginalized and isolated, whether de jure or de facto, for centuries and it was enough for ethnogensis to occur. Also, looking at genetics, most (or all?) Jewish ethnolinguistic groups trace their roots to the Levant (part of the Middle East, where Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and parts Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt are located)

They're an historically persecuted and scapegoated minority which also, as a separate matter, usually gets to enjoy White privilege.

There is no such thing as a "White" race or ethnicity by the way, there is only White privilege. For example someone might be British, Nordic, Irish or Italian, but the only thing that makes them "White" is how historically they've marginalized darker-complected peoples. So yeah Jews can be "White" and also suffer their own problems lol

> White privilege

Give the "white privilege" crap a rest. If you're white and poor nobody gives a shit about you. In 21st century America you're only privileged if you have money.

If you're white and poor nobody gives a shit about you (if you're ANYBODY nobody but your mom gives a shit about you) but they probably trust you more than if you're non-white and poor

Money is what gives you power in the United States, if you have money people "give a shit." All these cultural wars and race issues just further divide us while the middle class slowly disappears. A lot of corporations promote "woke" issues in the United States, then they turn around and use slave labor overseas.

Sure these cultural wars and race issues just further divide us, but that doesn't mean they're not primary to a lot of people. It's not manufactured only because they're promoted as "woke," many people fucking believe and care primarily about that, without being coached into it. We're not talking about "power" we're talking about, "Which powerless peons are least likely to shoplift from and cheat me?" And the answer to that hinges on prejudice

Everyone should be treated equal, but this current woke movement looks at everything through the lens of race, it's shallow and insincere. It's almost racist in itself. I judge a person by the content of their character not by the color of their skin. "White privilege" is a bullshit term exploited by certain influential groups to keep the lower and middle classes divided.

For example, if you're Jeff Bezos you'd much prefer having culture wars than for blacks, whites, Hispanics, etc. working together to fight for better working conditions at Amazon warehouses. Look at Starbucks, they're very progressive and inclusive until it comes to labor issues and their profits. Foreign adversaries, particularly Russia, exploit these divisions with active measures and disinformation, both on the right and left. It sows discord and weakens us as a society.

No you don't. Not always or totally. Neither do I.
