Bill Ackman is Jewish.

Bill Ackman is Jewish.
- WarOnPrivacy 6y agoAs is Yogi Bear. It's unclear what either of those self-generated factoids has to do with the article.
- onionisafruit 6y agoHow’s that relevant?
- FruityCoconut 6y agoDid you miss the parent comment?
- jmeister 6y agoThe parent is a response to the GP calling out Ackman as a “white guy”. This white-bashing has become so pervasive and accepted that people don’t even notice it anymore. I’m a brown, recent immigrant so probably more likely to notice. Substitute any other group in place of “white guy” and it’s a major faux pas. The double standard is mind-boggling.
- sebastien_b 6y agoYou could reply to my post with “OK Boomer”, and it’d fit. :) (Except I’m not really that old yet). P.S. I specifically said rich white guy.
- FruityCoconut 6y agoBut he's not even ethnically White. And it wouldn't justify your subtly racist jab at White people anyway. No.
- sebastien_b 6y agoI love how you call me, a white guy, a racist towards another white guy. Or are you implying that “rich” is a race of its own now?
- FruityCoconut 6y agoSadly, that's quite common. Don't be obtuse. This has nothing to do with the 'rich' part. I wonder if you would make the same disparaging comment now that you know Ackman is not White: "yet-another-rich-jewish-guy..." I suspect not.
- sebastien_b 6y agoI honestly had to look it up, because I always thought "Jewish" referred to religion (and there still seems to be questions of whether it still can refer to race or not these days). Regardless, looking at his picture, anyone could be forgiven for assuming he is "White". I guess I'll leave out any semblance of race in my "rich guys" comments, lest I upset the snowflakes.
- jmeister 6y agoFair enough, your generation was not this obsessed with groups and identify. Those not on the left weren’t either, but we’re policed so much by the SJWs that we are just punching back.
