Why “non-Jewish”?
- BigTTYGothGF 7mo agoYou know why.
- WarmWash 7mo agoJews are culturally isolated enough to effectively count as their own race. Race is generally a misused concept because 99% of the time people actually mean culture, as anyone from any race can be part of a culture.
- wat10000 7mo agoRight, when people are talking about white people being disproportionately represented (or under-represented) in high paying corporate jobs, they're definitely looking into the cultural background of those people and determining which ones fit "non-Jewish white" rather than looking at the black guy and putting him in the "not white" category based on appearance.... In my experience, you wouldn't know most Jews are Jews unless you start quizzing them about their religious practices.
- kelipso 7mo agoThis doesn’t make sense in light of the fact that we do distinguish between Hispanic and non-Hispanic in addition to white, black, etc.
- wat10000 7mo agoHow so? That's explicitly not considered to be "race," but a separate qualifier on top of it. In any case, nothing here is going to make any sense, because the entire social construct of "race" inherently makes no sense.
- kelipso 7mo agoAre we really going to pretend like jewish white and non-jewish white doesn't make sense in a context where white is considered a race? I don't really see the sense in this pretense.
- wat10000 7mo agoYou’re going to have to explain, because while it might be obvious to you, I have no idea why you’re saying this.
