Did the Jews become white? They seem to have a very ambiguous and tortured relationship to "whiteness." In fact deconstructing whiteness seems a Jewish specialty. Are they pissing inside or outside the tent of whiteness?

Btw, haven't you made a similar (but more accurate I guess) claim in your majority/high status Vs minority/high status argument re the one-drop rule etc.

No, this is not true of the Italians. Both could obtain citizenship when citizenship was restricted to whites.

It's actually "Lephercauns." "People of Potato" is the Irish equivalent of the N-word and thus only other Irish people can say it. Else, you'll get beaten up for saying it. Watch out, Steve! The Irish mafia might now be after you!
