    Well, I do consider Jews white. What else do you want me to say. I didn’t know there are people who think Jews are not white because that’s dumb and I couldn’t even fathom someone might think they are not white. That’s why I assumed Elon also assumed he guy meant non-Jewish white people.

      Well now you know why you shouldn’t make that assumption about Elon, so you’re going to admit that he might be antisemitic, right?

        I don’t think he is, I think he just think some Jewish communities are hypocritical or something idk. I still didn’t do enough research to say he is or isn’t antisemitic. I just have enough info to assume one or the other.

          What information do you have to assume that he believes Jews are white?

          Has he ever said that Jews are white?

          Has he ever even implied that Jews are white?

          Because the only evidence I’ve seen is him agreeing with someone who is saying that Jews aren’t white.

          So where’s your evidence? Go for it.

              Please read the article I provided for you. It has nothing to do with intelligence.

              There are many intelligent bigots out there. H. L. Mencken was a bigot who hated Jews. He was also a genius. Bobby Fischer was a bigot who hated Jews. He was also a genius.

              Just because you can’t fathom someone believing something doesn’t mean they don’t believe it.

              Let me know when you’ve read the article and then explain to me why someone has to be “dumb” to agree with the concept that Jews aren’t white.

                  I’ll quote the relevant part for you because it’s what people like Elon believe:

                  “When anti-Semites [talk about] Jews, they mean a racial category,” Gordon argues. “I think they’re looking at Jews the way an anti-black racist looks at a light-skinned black person.”
