People Who Think They Are Not White: Rabbi Tells Jews to Cut Up Their White Privilege Cards
1st October 2015
Steve Sailer points out some inconvenient truth.
Individuals respond to incentives, so it’s not surprising to observe an ongoing Flight from White currently.
This is in contrast to the Flight Toward White in the mid-20th Century. For example, the Census Bureau didn’t separately count Hispanics / Latinos / Mexicans in the 1950 and 1960 Censuses in response to the League of United Latin American Citizens’ contention that it would be better for them to just be officially classified as white.
Now, of course, the Census Bureau laboriously classifies Hispanics as its own Ethnicity. (Nobody else gets an Ethnicity, just Hispanics.) This 1970-2010 Census ploy allows Latinos to get the benefits of affirmative action while also allowing individuals to assert their racial whiteness (because that means a lot to many Hispanics). In the future, it would not be surprising if the Census Bureau promotes Hispanics to their own race.
Other groups want in on the action, too. For example, Arab-American pressure groups are pushing the Census Bureau to count “Middle Eastern / North African” individuals separately from whites on the 2020 Census.
Those who aren’t counted as a separate Identity Politics Fashionable Minority don’t get a space at the government trough. It’s not surprising that Jews, who aren’t stupid, want to get in on the act.
