Try substituting "white" for another race in your sentence and see how that sounds:
> Criticizing how Jewish men use their Jewishness to preserve their exclusive access to money and power isn't racist
If the sentence sounds bad, and that most certainly does, then the original is racist.
- wind0w 7y agoYeah because anti semitism has long and violent history. White people have not been on the receiving end of systemic violence because of their whiteness -- they have perpetrated in and benefited from it. Yours is a bizarre liberal conception of racism that totally ignores historical and material context, where you can just replace words in a sentence to prove it's racist. If you replace the word white in that sentence with another race, it has a totally different meaning, because the context is totally different. White men DO have disproportionate access to money and power in the US, are you disputing that?
