Like the old saying from the 1950s... "Jews live like Episcopalians (richly) but vote like Puerto Ricans (like commie activists)...
Jews may or not may not think of themselves as white....but the overwhelming majority are most certainly white in this country.

Antisemitism in USA is growing, go to Youtube and read comments under videos with Israel, Jews etc... The highest ranked ones are like this: "Holocaust was a good thing", "Hitler come back!", "Zionists are pure evil". Of course you won't hear it on the streets because Jew-haters are not that stupid to speak it loudly and be sued by Jews for antisemitism... But the hatred towards Jews in USA is huge even though officially there is tolerance in this country.

Jews are a mixed bag, genetically. Most Jews migrated from Palestine to Central Asia, near the Ukraine, where they lived and interbred with other groups for centuries before trickling into Europe by way of Eastern Europe.


Look at this photo of Jeff Goldblum, it highlights his distinctly non-European, Arab Semetic features:

Arabs aren't white? LOL...to me they are. At least a HUGE majority are. And in this country, they are classified as white.

He doesn't look non-European to me. You realize that there has never been any country in the world EVER with a blond haired blue eyed majority, not even the Scandinavian countries?

'Semetic' peoples are derived from the Mideast... Mideast people are not European, and therefore not 'white'. At best, Mr. Goldblum could be accurately described as 'mixed race', as he undoubtedly possesses genes from the Mideast, Europe, and probably Central Asia as well...

Very true.

In fact, when my wife and i got married in Denmark, i was surprised at the blond/blue eyed stereotype and how off the mark it is. Furthermore, the first time we went to Sweden and Norway where i expected the stereotype to be more prevalent, i was shocked at how there were no more blondes than there were in Denmark.

But the stereotype remains in the minds of most people.

Who brought up the 'blond hair, blue eyes' stereotype? Not me...

Armenia isn't in Europe...they are white. Iran is in Asia...they're white too. Same for Turkey, Cypress and Iraq. Europe doesn't contain all of the worlds white people.

They are white according to some sources, which doesn't mean they are white. They are certainly not as white as Scandinavians, Irish, Germans, Poles, Estonians or Lithuanians. They don't have blonde hair or blue eyes ever, their skin is darker, their face features are kinda Arabic. Would that be racist if I was stubborn to say they are not white? If no, I say they are not white. But this has nothing to do with this thread anyway.
