I think as long as the White population doesn't see us a White we will be harassed and threatened by them. I may appear White to you but I am frequently picked out. Now it seems we're getting it from Kanye and Kyrie's friends too as well as those with more extreme views on Jewish people. And we have guys with big microphone like Dave Chapelle who care more about whether his friends feel restrained or bullied than if attacks on Jews are up and a bunch of nutjobs tried to harm kids at Jewish day schools as a result of Kanye’s “deathcon” comment.

And due to the current coloristic philosophies when we talk about this harassment, we're often treated as if we are lying. I really hate it when people demand empathy but didn't want to give any.

We're a more powerful minority than some but we're still very low in number and people know it. At LEAST 1/3 of Jews are people of obvious color, most of us have African DNA. We are an early tribe of mixed-race people due to us being thrown from our homes early in our history and intermarrying along the way. We are a variety of races and ethnicities. I know that's confusing to people but it is what it is.
