      I see this as more of a asablackman thing where on one comment you are poc and then pretend like that never happend.

      Remember the “as a gay black man”? From that one Republican ghoul.

        Eh there are a bunch of people who have “passing privilege” where they can be contextually white or nonwhite. One of my Iranian friends is like this for example. It has a lot of weird intersections like you can pass more if you’re conventionally good-looking. A lot of Jewish people occupy this space. Unless someone knows a lot of Jewish people or has weird racist phrenological interests a lot of Jewish people just look straightforwardly white.

          Yep, language also plays a role here. A Hispanic person who speaks English fluently and is familiar with North American culture can pass as white, but if the same person only speaks Spanish and isn’t familiar with burger culture then they aren’t white in America but they can still be white in a different context, in contrast to the indigenous and the Black.

        Yeah that was funny as hell, but also antisemites like to accuse Jews of doing that on a systematic level, using memes exactly like this one. You could post this same image in /pol/ and they will pick up that message.

        Obviously RNAi did not mean it anything like that tho.
