never passed filth of that degree but reminds me one of the most ubiquitous (as ethnic Chinese) reasons I hate the crackkkerverse.

Learned about Dilawar of Yakubi from r/newswithjingjing today, from there looked up more and saw this incredibly compelling (and none of it inaccurate nor exaggerated when you look at the actual testimonials/court records etc) article: https://natcath.org/NCR_Online/archives2/2005c/081205/081205z.htm
It's just another example of western barbarism as usual, but I think it's important we all remember each and every one of these victims, and similarly also remember all the perpetrators. If humanity can forgive without first ending the threat of the western imperialist system, or if it can ever forget, we will be doomed (as someone whose own family history involves such forgetfulness). The majority of the world has a history of this, and this (forgetfulness in part) too...
IDK. other than that maybe I need to hop off hexbear and the grad for a few days, and YT too. Probably won't lol... I touch grass and socialize IRL (sometimes pleasantly surprised, sometimes very much not) but even then it's a sort of feeling like the world is closing around me (or us all).
Most (European-descended) Jewish people are white IMO, it's not exactly difficult to see it (both in regards to appearance, but moreso in regards to privilege).
It's a contextual whiteness (an arbitrary construct) as always, but we may as well be arguing if Irish, Russians, or Italians are "white" at that point as well, or even if the white Latin Americans or Boers (who were also brutally abused by the British), etc. are "white." Go back far enough, and you'll find Ben Franklin going on about how even the Germans and Nordics are "tawny" and only the English and Saxons are white...
To argue further on it we'd need to define the limitations of what kind of whiteness we're talking about IMO. "Phenotypical" whiteness (usually with an ethno-religious bent particularly to root out Muslims and indigenous culture) like what is predominantly, culturally ingrained across the settler-Anglosphere? "Whiteness" by political alignment and acceptment into the upper echelons of the imperialist in-group? (Even then that becomes messy as all hell, for instance we all know Klanmala, Barry, and Rishi aren't white, even if Barry is half-white or half-European descent).
There won't be any satisfying answers ultimately. But I don't think anyone can look at Blinken, Yellen, Nuland, Netanyahu, or the many other prominent European-descended Jewish people in the framework of empire today and say that they are not white in the here-and-now; as white as imaginable. Not to say whiteness is associated with guilt- because if it were then as with the other definitions it becomes messy as all hell- but the whiteness, and adjacency or acceptance into it (into empire and the system of white supremacy, perhaps?) certainly is a thing today.
Probably the most satisfying/fitting thing IMO (other than the phenotypical definition, or geographic one) would be "adjacency to empire" but even that naturally falls apart real fast.
