This article is weird af. It is simultaneously arguing against identity politics but framing it as dangerous to a specific demographic, Jewish people. It uses identity politics to argue identity politics bad. If Bari Wiess was raised as colorblind as she claimed why is she talking about disproportionate danger to the Jewish people?
- paulddraper 3y agoIt's using Jews as a relatable and historically significant example of the perilous dangers of identity politics (more specifically, "equality of outcome").
- SamoyedFurFluff 3y agoYeah, but how is that different from a black person talking about perilous dangers against black people? They both violate the values Bari Weiss was raised with, which is race blindness. Also, the whole “Muslims > black,gay > etc” seems like a huge straw man. The whole article is just really confusing to me. Gay isn’t a race. Muslim isn’t a race. None of this seems comparable.
