PSA: There is no such thing as a "white Jew"

There are Jews who have European backgrounds and *some* of them have benefited from eurocentrism or being white passing, but in moments of crisis or need the social tides that create white privilege have never seen Jewish people as part of that group. Whiteness is a social category which has changed with time and attitudes and, at least for now, it has never and still doesn't include Jewish people.

Continuing to use the term "white Jews" is ignorant at best and harmful at worst. Even converts once converted are othered and can no longer rely on any previous white background to save them if they are identified as Jewish.

[ Non-jews please reblog]

[daughterofstories]

I personally know someone who is the child of a white woman who converted to Judaism and a white goy. She is tall and has straight red hair. Her children are blond and blue eyed.

She is currently in the process of being forced out of her job by open, unrepentant antisemitism (literally had HR tell her, "your feelings aren't based on reality" and chide her for reporting her immediate supervisor's antisemitic actions, because she didn't consider how it might upset the supervisor or harm the supervisor's career in a conversation that started, "we can't have this conversation if you're recording it.) She has concluded that they covered their tracks well enough that trying to hold her place of work accountable would be more difficult and stressful than she can handle.

Fortunately, she's going to be okay--the antisemitism in her field is open and blatant enough that all the Jews are banding together to protect one another, so she already has another job lined up.

But if there is anyone who could be considered a "white Jew," it's this woman.

It still did nothing to protect her from being forced out of her job, gaslit, and openly told that a Jew's right to be safe from antisemitism is less important than an antisemites right to be safe from the consequences of their actions by people who were aware enough of what they were doing to make sure they weren't being recorded.

i am sick of people rebutting the fact that jews are not white with "but converts and their descendants!!" and this is why.

judaism predates the concept of race. when you convert to judaism you become wholly jewish in every way that matters, both to jews and to antisemites, because we are a people. we arent a race, we arent an ethnicity, hell we arent a concept that the western world seems to be able to comprehend. there is no real translation in english for עם.

this complete misunderstanding of judaism as "its a religion" "no its an ethnicity!" is so infuriating to see and i cant figure out how to explain it to someone who doesnt already know

Dark Horse what the fuck

[sweaterkittensahoy]

Forgot to mention: Dark Horse is based in Portland, Oregon, if you're wondering how they could be this fucking awful. PDX does love to hate Jews.

Incredibly fucked up that you have to clean the dust off of fans. You are a machine that creates wind; get your shit together.

"Heyyyyyy dad you're home early, it- uh- it's not what it looks like?" "It looks like someone's getting mauled" "Well I like to think the mauling's mutual-aaand he's covering his eyes, uh, stellar choice there, really 10/10 the judges are going wild-" "I'm going to Melissa's. Breakfast in the morning, both of you." "see I told you he wouldn't mind, now calm down and put those headlights away already"

1.5 years of sterek brainrot and I've somehow never drawn derek with red eyes nor the classic trope of the sheriff walking in on them? for shame, mel.

Any story featuring feral derek or him getting a little lost in his instincts are so important to me - this man who never gets to keep anything good in his life digging his claws into stiles and saying no, this one is mine, you can't have him - you see the vision 💭💭

a closeup as well as the lines under the cut, bc i quite like them on their own too:

some of you need to realize that your faves would be having unsafe bdsm sex because they don’t actually know what bdsm sex is, they just want to fuck and also kill each other. you must understand this.

[willgrahamscock]
