I am repeatedly surprised that in Germany some vocal antisemitics are black. (Not so many but everything above 0 is just surprising)

- mrguyorama 4y agoMan, it's almost like black people are people too and susceptible to the same faults as those with a lighter complexion, and being part of an oppressed class does not grant you immunity to being an oppressor
- snowpid 4y agoThe example I have in mind arent in an oppressed class because they have money but are very likely victims of rassism. Nor are black people are oppressors because of lack of numbers in that particular case. These people are antisemitics though they experience very similar to what Jews feel in Germany today.

- bwing 4y agoIf anything, it reflects a greater degree of logical rigor: 1) It's commonly taken as a simple fact that overrepresentation of white people among e.g. the top hedge fund managers is evidence of society being structured in those people's favor 2) Jews are way more overrepresented among top hedge fund managers than non-Jewish whites 3) ... Obviously the missing piece here is that (taken as a whole; obviously "Jews" comprises many different groups) Jewish people, on average, are culturally and genetically predisposed to success in intellectual fields. However, if you notice this but grow up in a climate where cultural and genetic reasons for group success are verboten, the nefarious explanations are the ones left.
