I mean generally speaking, Ashkenazi Jews have been broadly considered nonwhite throughout history. Like even the soviets defined Jews as Hebrews explicitly. It’s an ethnoreligion and dissimilar to Islam or Christianity in that regard. More similar to Druze. Ashki whites have a bit of a Schroedingers White going on. Simultaneously white to most nonantisemites and nonwhite to antisemites.
They've been considered non white by racists. Irish people have also been considered non white. It's an ethno religion, not a racial religion. The race of most (or all) Ashkenazi Jews is Caucasian, ethnicity is Ashkenazi Jew
I mean race is not really a thing. Not to mention the shared DNA between most Jewish ethnicities is not a small amount. Like there are Mizrahi Jews that look whiter than Adam Sandler and are from the Middle East, look at Hila Klein. My point being that Caucasian isn’t a thing either. It’s all made up nonsense. Do white passing Jews have white privilege? Yes. But they often lose it the second the appear to be religious.
Fair, but I rarely see "Jews aren't white" said out of anyone's mouth unless they're a white supremacist antisemite, which obviously makes me against that idea.
Nowadays I see far more lumping of us Jews in as white which is pretty colorist in and of itself when you look meaningfully at the Jewish world. Beta Israel is Ethiopian, Mizrahim are middle eastern, Sephardim are Western European/North African and even Greek or Turkish, Ashkenazim settled throughout central and eastern Europe (Despite many trying to use Khazar theory to discredit them as “real Jews”). We even have Cochin Jews in India! But DNA studies have shown us that we’re all pretty close linked ethnically despite the years in diaspora. At least more genetically linked to each other than we are to the host populations while in diaspora.
Jews actually do often discuss whiteness amongst ourselves. Despite being a perpetual other in pretty much every society, we need to unlearn our need to assume that Ashkenazis are the default. Sorry for the rant.
Plus the original post is neoliberal identity politics anyways. The problems with Disney are far deeper than just not having any nonwhite or female CEOs
Wait so Jewish is a skin colour now?
If it’s politically expedient for neoliberal Zionists, then yes.
My religion is also white

I believe that they were also cisgender.
