- dragonwriter 10y agoRacism is about the groups people are placed in by societal perceptions, in which looks are a major but not the sole factor.
- dllthomas 10y agoWhich is not to say that Ashkenazi Jews are not typically considered "white" in mainstream American culture.
- morgante 10y agoSure, and everyone besides hard core white supremacists considers Ashkenazim to be white. I've hung out with plenty of blatant racists who treated me, as a Jew, as part of their in-group.
