I think this is probably a dumb question, but I've never thought about it before and sure-as-shootin' don't know. The screenshot indicated one group of Americans is considered white and one is not. Is that a known perception? It's a total first-heard for me and I just... shit, it's never even crossed my mind to think about that.

TIA

Unless you're an actual neo Nazi, Jews have been accepted into the whiteness construct since the Holocaust. Arabs not so much...

I tell ya, trying to decipher which group fits into whichever social construct someone wants them to be in just drains me. I'm gonna stay ignorant and train my focus on something else.

This has been enlightening, though. Thanks, all!
