Are Jews White?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- While some Ashkenazi Jews may appear white and identify as such, the concept of whiteness is complex.
Historically, Jews were considered a separate and inferior race and yet, over time, antisemitism, assimilation efforts and rising socioeconomic status have influenced the perception of “Jewish whiteness.”
However, this categorization overlooks the experiences of Jews of Color and non-Ashkenazim and further perpetuates the ongoing antisemitism Jews face today.

It took me years to realize how obsessed with race Americans are.
Guess which group run America?
US people don't understand it.
Westen, white ? Ask Germans !
America was built on race, it even says so in our declaration of independence
it's exhausting. When I was growing up in the late 90's and 00's race was not an issue. They revived it just to cause division. If attention isn't somewhere else, the attention is on them.
@@user-ch6um1vn8xRace has ALWAYS been an issue in America, it just wasn't in your consciousness
A lot people who are now considered white like Irish and Italians weren’t considered white for a while.
Not only Jews, but Italians were considered were considered to be non-white. You should all read, The Nature of Prejudice by Gordon Allport.
Until they became "Americanized" they wanted people to forget where they came from adopt new principles procreate work to death
@@neerajanaghosh4464 white is Esau, Ahkenaz and Italian as well as some other Mediterranean areas are of Japhet. They have mixed well.
How can the Irish not be considered white? What we are looking at is not racism but ethnic classism. It's more a question of rich supremacy than white.

Great job on this! Great subject and very instructive! Bravo!
Are you a black jew ?
@@JermarWilliamson Your argument puzzling. You obviously believe old, debunked stories. DNA today can tell you the truth. What you said about the Lemba was proven beyond reasonable doubt. However, Jews come in multiple colors and ethnicity because people have always traveled around the world.
Fact 1# Everyone on earth comes from non- disease mutated gene humic parents i.e. so-called ruddy blacks. Fact 2# Only Black men and women have the oldest human genes on earth and were Adam and eve. Fact 3# White European skin is produced by a disease mutated non-human gene. Fact 4# Adam and eve would have to be infected with a disease, in order to produce a mutant white skin child with blue eyes. Fact 5# In order for a Human being to be born, a modern-day Ashkenazi the human will have to be infected, with a non-human diseased gene, a mutation, white European skin. Fact 6# the Holy Bible indicates in 2Kings 5:27 that white European skin is an auto immune disease produced from a Biblical white skin curse, because of sin. Fact 7# To say that the 12 tribe of Israel, the savior's body is an auto immune disease sin, curse, of white Europeans that are known to carry a wet dog smell is Blasphemy....

Disgusting video and much disrespect you mean.
8.9k likes / 8.1k dislikes for those who can't see the dislike button due to censorship.
Do you get to see the dislikes for real? I thought they just got rid of them. I used to use the ratio of likes/dislikes as a gauge of whether a video was worth watching. Do you know if there's a way I can switch them on?

White generally refers to someone of European origin and who looks European as opposed to other races and ethnicities.
Maybe Jews are just Europeans that started mixing with Middle Easterners.
Europeans are of Caucasian race.
Yeah it's not just skin colour. It's for example bone structure as well. If you paint a European black, he does not look like a sub-saharan African. If you paint a sub-saharan African white, he does not look like a European.
I think denying this is not good. We should celebrate the variety of human beings, just like we celebrate the variety in animals, plants, flowers. It's nature expressing itself differently! That's what nature always does.
We're not the same! At least, not on that level. And what a boring world that would be.
True. Now historically, whiteness comes with privilege. That's the point of the video. It goes beyond physical appearance. The Nazi Germans accepting the Japanese is a great example.
What about Italians and Greeks, they look more Mediterranean
Love this man! Good job!
JUST BECAUSE THEY THE CONTROLLERS OF A DEMONIC SYSTEM SAYS THIS OR THAT PERSON IS THIS OR THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE...LOL
Very well and powerfully done!
Hebrew is literally Afro-asiatic. Please explain, how any other can be Jews by blood?
gender and race a social construct ? and I think I am an alien born on earth ?
no , middle eastern, skin colour alone does not define race , it is dna, facial features etc. and there are different white races, germanic , celtic , slavic etc. , that is a scientific fact,
I should know , I am scottish from my mother's side living in Holland , I see the differences
@@youtubefans510 No. There is no such scientific fact that there are different races. Read a damn book. Humans are humans. There are only minor variations that are based on environmental adaptations and regional development. Anyone who's looked at human migration knows that there is great admixture in human populations. Hell, most non-Africans have some Neanderthal ancestry.
Seriously, when you start talking about a Germanic race, then you're spewing garbage Nazi race science that has been thoroughly debunked. You need to look at the latest DNA studies that show human migration through Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA.
They are all just delusional we can sit back and be entertained by the idiocy.
@@ScoobySnacksYum brother, you do realize that even if such science actually existed, it would never be disclosed to the public by the establishment(because history and moustache man). I'm against racism, and I'm equally against bringing politics into science. And anyways, y'all use the term "First-World Country" as to show your caucasian dominance over the world lately. Races clearly have a difference in behaviour and looks, and does not make any one of those better or worse than the other. We are all humans, and we deserve to be treated like humans, irrespective of race. But yes, racial differences do exist(perhaps even scientifically).
If "white" means "European descent" then Ashkenazi Jews are not "white". Ashkenazi Jews are a Levantine diaspora population. Spending exile in Europe is not the same as being of European descent (i.e. originating in Europe).
Re: jgoff76
The Irish/Italian situation isn't comparable to the Jewish one, imo. For one thing, Irish and Italians are European populations. Jews are a MENA diaspora. Second, antisemitism is still a massive problem in America and other white majority societies. Jews are still excluded and targeted by white supremacy. Neither of these things is true of Irish and Italians.
Arab-Americans would be a useful referent for an analogy here.
Well said.
Regardless If Your Ashkenazi Or Any Type Of Practicing Jew If You Have European Paternal Ancestry That Has European Haplogroups Like Haplogroup J You Are Not From The Levant, European Haplogroups Are Not Indigenous & Most Ashkenazi Are European In Ancestry & Jewish In Practice.
@@yahsbotanical Haplogroup J is a Middle Eastern haplogroup. Go away, you antisemitic BHI poseur.
@Yah's Botanical After a thousand years in exile in Europe some European DNA has entered the gene poll however the majority of Ashkenazi DNA still remains Levantine and this has been the conclusion of study after study.
Well no white means Caucasian
As a Jew, an American, a human being - I've never answered those boxes on race. If it's a write in and they ask my race, I write in Human. And, that's the end of that.
You're a Jew. That'd the end of that
Agreed
Great Point, because the word Jewish is like the word American - it means all colors & names as Hebrews like Jesus was.
EXCELLENT!
THANK YOU...
wow a great piece of history to learn! thank you
Propaganda is legal.
I love this great and knowledgeable video!!!
My family is Ashkenazy. I have dark curly hair, brown eyes, and olive skin. When I was around 12, I asked my redheaded, blue-eyed grandmother, if we are white. She said, “Well I am, but I don’t know about you.”
Inasmuch as white means "European", we're not. We're Levantine.
@@RawPower867 In the context of American definitions of race, most Jews would be white (since many Ashkenazi and Sephardic, as well as some Mizrachi, communities have pale enough skin to be white, even if it is predominantly olive toned). But that doesn't take away from their Levantine heritage
ASHKE""NAZI"" ARE SON OF GOMER...KJV....GENESIS 10:3 WHICH MAKE THEM JAPHETHITES NOT SHEMITES THEY ARE THE ACTUAL GENTILES,....KJV....GENESIS 10:5...I MADE A VIDEO ABOUT THEM
White-passing might be a useful term. (I’m not telling anyone which term to use, just suggesting an option.)
I know a Jewish family with a set of twins, one is pale with red hair, the other has olive skin with dark hair. (They both got the curly hair, though.)
I am Brown and I am a Jew
Am Yisrael Chai
Oh boy
Good point.
If you have a good reason to believe you are Jewish, being brown is a good start...
Asking the important questions 😅
My cousin's father was Jewish. (My cousin practices Christianity) Is my cousin, her children, grandchildren, etc... not white since they all have Ashkenazi Jewish blood ? I would be interesting to know. ( My cousin didn't find out who her real father was until her mother was on her deathbed)
No, your cousin is not Jewish.Only if his mother have been Jewish.
For antisemitic some probably would categorize him as jewish (as nazis did) because his blood even tho he isn't
If you look at DNA only , then no , they have remains of middle eastern jews
If you look at what Far right and racist say , no , they are middle eastern
If you look at their skin ? yes , they look white
They're just white. Ashkenzais are not Jewish. Do the research
At least in the US, the government classifies Jews (and Arabs) as White when it suites them. We are "other'ed" when it suites them as well.
You mean Jews do that when they say "hello fellow Whites, I think we should accept replacement level of immigration and do away with traditional moral values". And the next sentence, "but I'm not white, so all that hate I've been staring for Whites shouldn't be used against me".
ive never seen any instance where arabs were classified as white.
Being a Jew in the United States is your choice, it is a religion after all.
@@thomaskalbfus2005 - It's not just a religion. We are a culture and a people. There were many, many Jews who were not religious at all and were still murdered in the Holocaust.
David Baddiel released a book a year or two back called "jews don't count" which explores this topic through the lens of a Jewish man living in the uk
That was a wonderful book. It was to the point and eloquent.
propaganda lies
How can Jews not count when they own the media, banks and academia?
Which was Hilariously stupid
When that black weave queen from the labour Party blamed whites for the murder of Sasha Johnson the media did nothing
When she said Blacks suffer more than Jews she got disbarred😂
Badiel is an idiot and a zionistic POS
Well becuase you have an Israeli living in say Scotland.. its not about white or non white its about nationality at that point..
good presentation. clear graphics,clear observation.thank-you.
The question itself lends to another question. All are Jews white or are they varying shades of melanin. Are all African black or are they varying shades of melanin?
Melanin doesn't equate to race, skull shape determines race
That's why I never understood the term brown people
Seeing that Jacob Riis quote was quite a shock to me because I grew up on New York City's Lower East Side next to the Jacob Riis housing project. I'm sure that there must have been at least a few Jews living there who would be surprised to discover what the man their home is named after thought of them.
@John_P._Buryiak
Same here. Ends up the guy had a distaste for the demographic that he served. Very confusing.
What might cause some confusion is "white" is a fairly new term. The racial terminology used to be Caucasian up until pretty recently. I remember my mother especially was upset when she was forced to pick a skin color on some form or application. It is a rude and crude way to identify a person. But Caucasian just means light skin tone of European descent
Now I while pick other until Caucasian returns.
Caucasian means "from the Caucasus", but was applied to Europeans when Johann Blumenbach divided humans into five colors--black, brown, yellow, red and white. He thought the skull of a Caucasian concubine epitomized the ideals of "whiteness" so used that term for white people. It's a pseud-scientific term but people in the US used it in the 19th century because they thought it sounded more scientific. For most of the world it is confusing because Caucasian specifically means Armenian, Georgian, Azeri, etc.
now you know how it feels
... it's white supremacy embedded in US law.
@@starwberriez how what feels?
That was so interesting. I love nuance!! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for your work! I hope it will be watched by a lot of people around us.😊
The variety of types of Jews there are is why I will no matter what mention that they exist when someone makes a joke about Jews being white. Not all of them are and this video is actually a good explanation of that and an amazing explanation about how the way race is seen defines Jews and others. Btw am I the only one who think Hollywood needs more representation of non Ashkenazi Jews ?
Yes, but part of the point is even white-passing Jews are white-passing. Not white.
Hollywood needs less jews in general (preferably none), doesn't matter their origins.
Like ethiopian jews or Mizrahi jews to play characters from the bible
@@andrewstaples7544 exactly. Or have movies and tv shows centered around a Mizrahi or Ethiopian family.
You are 'ful mit drek'. Don't take your issues out on Ashkenazi Jews.
Love ur videos! I always feel funny thinking about this I’m not white I’m Jewish!
THATS A BIG NO...JUST ASK THEM .
Not all Jews are Whites. Jews are very diverse. Beautiful people !
diverse like people who play golf yesssss very diverse indeen lol
When it's convenient.
By that logic so are Arabs.
DNA test in America say otherwise.
"I'm not white, l'm Jewish." 😂
@@goygoddess2822 If you get pulled over by the police what race do they put on your ticket if they give you one?
Tuesday, religion. Wednesday, Ashkenazi. Speaking for myself, I’m viewed as White and points are deducted accordingly. And oh boy….did MSM give us some big Whitesplainin’ a few years ago! Thanks a lot Mr. Roberts at Comcast! Today it is this guy in Israel.
“White” often meant “WASP” and other European descended people weren’t considered to be of the same caliber. I remember my grandma (born 1921) saying “we aren’t Irish we’re Scots-Irish”!to describe our ethnic origins. She was technically right- researching our genealogy proved this so, however due to prejudice this was a common way to distance ourselves from the “other”. My bio dad was Cajun- another ethnicity not considered “white” at times. I think in this case it was a language issue- I remember French language tv shows on our local stations in the 70’s and 80’s and many of us had parents and grandparents who were native speakers. Kids were paddled for speaking French in school and the language dwindled but there are valiant efforts to restore it. Long story short I believe that prejudice is as much based on social class and money as it is skin tones
😢Paddled for speaking native language 😳
Most Scots were accepted into the WASP label as they'd embraced Protestantism by the late 16th century. They were culturally attuned enough to England for the Scottish King to take the English crown after Queen Elizabeth died without children at the start of the 17th century though it would be another 100 years before the two parliaments amalgamated to form Great Britain.
@@damionkeeling3103 The Protestant Reformations in Scotland and England were separate and took different routes but happened almost in parallel. The reason a Scottish king became king of England too was that he was the closest living relative to the dead queen and her Tudor ancestors (one of his great-grandfathers was the queen's grandfather King Henry VII).
Being Protestant and English-speaking were 2 of the requirements for migrants from Scotland and England who were part of the Plantation of Ulster.
@@Jazzicalglass and we weren’t Native American
"WASP," by definition, is a label for people who are Anglo, affluent, and protestant. So, what do you do with poor atheists who happen to be of European descent?
Excellent! Superb presentation of some hard hitting historical facts that didn't pull any punches. I'm old and these problems have been going on longer than I have been alive, but I hope it changes in the future.
HI I appreciate this video content. Thanks for your hard work! BUT who are you??

Hey glad to hear you enjoy our content! You can learn more about Unpacked here: www.jewishunpacked.com
Particularly these days is very difficult to pack people into "different races" based on the colour of their skin.
Although Tamils are predominantly of very dark skin, no one will call them blacks, though Tamil it is not considered a race, but an ethnic group as much as Jews are.
The only time colour becomes an important factor is when one has to describe a person by their most prominent physical characteristics, such, again, colour of their skin.
Using skin colour as a parameter to judge social and cultural characteristics of a person, or a group, is simply wrong and discriminatory.
At the same time, making racism a crime allows us to believe that a person should be separated into groups based on the colour of their skin , while discrimination should be considered more accurate to describe that particular crime, although it doesn't carry as much weight as racism.
The idea of different races among humans has been adopted for far too long, so much so that we keep forgetting that we humans, as a whole, are a race regardless of skin tone.
Anything else has been craftily designed to keep us separated, which in turn makes the vast majority of us to be easily dominated by a minority , as it keeps happening today.

Yeah you guys struggle alot with ethnicities in North America. I mean you guys even consider that North africans are white lol, makes me chuckle.
It has always been that way, except in certain communities that are almost all black or almost all white or almost all chocolate. Even in the 1970's many people report growing up in mixed neighborhoods. Don't buy into the false narratives built since the 1990's.
Why always the Tamil actresses are fair skins?
I really enjoyed much of your vid. I didnt care much for the phrase
"whiteness is by definition, white supremacist."
I did like you say that victim Olympics is dangerous. well done on the vid my man!
I think he said that because the idea of whiteness was born out of a desire to justify superiority over others / to justify slavery. people didn’t always categorize themselves as white
The American left's conception of 'whiteness' truly betrays a complete lack of knowledge regarding European history. Eastern Europe was for many centuries plundered and exploited by the Mongols and then the Turks, before eventually the Swedes, Russians and Germans had their turns.
This guy is a race baiter & very divisive. This is a non-topic, the only thing informed by skin pigmentation is skin colour and ONLY to those with eyes to see!
Most importantly skin colour doesn't inform behaviour that takes ideology, religious or political.
The ONLY trait for moral consideration is being human!!! I also extend such moral consideration to non-human animals.
As of this comment 9K thumbsup & 8.4k thumbsdown speaks volumes to my claim that this guy is race baiting.
Bhagavad Gita 5.18: The truly learned, with the eyes of divine knowledge, see with equal vision a Brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog, and a dog-eater.
The concept or whiteness was created out of white supremacist ideas and intentions. It was white supremacist in its roots and it can still be white supremacist now, but it usually isn't.
"whiteness is by definition, white supremacist."
Yes, he's calling you a nazi, dude. Why are you fawning over someone who hates you?
This was an incredible video. It open my eyes to what my Ashkenazi brothers and sister have to go through. As a black Jew some times you all see things through your own lens. I had to take step back and mediate on this one.

23andMe says Askanazi Jews are very genetically more similar to people in the middle east then Europeans even though their immediate ancestors may be European.
Bullshit
I looked this up, and apparently it stated that after tests were done, "Genetic studies of Ashkenazi Jews reveal around a 50/50 mix of Levantine (Middle-Eastern) and Southern European (mostly Italian) genes."
Genetically Ashkenazi Jews are closest related to South Italians, Greeks, and Sephardic Jews.

I really appreciate the videos made my Unpaked. I ususually finish each video with some sort of clarity BUT this one is a word salad. "...Oppression olympics is a harmful game." But he is playing it the whole time.
I remember reading once about the founding of The State of Israel. They were trying to decided who was a Jew and who was not, Was it a race? Was it a religion? Was it both? The discussions got really heated and one guy got up in disgust at said, "Whoever is crazy enough to want to be a Jew, is a Jew." In the history of the United States, any new group of immigrates had problems. Who was ever here first, looked down on the new commers. My own family came around the 1840s from Germany, They changed their name so it wouldn't sound German. They particularly kept a low profile during WWI. The anti-German feelings were running high then.
In my country, when a baby is born, in the birth certificate they don’t categorize the baby’s race but his physical characteristics- skin color, hair and eye color - the end.
JUST BECAUSE THEY THE CONTROLLERS OF A DEMONIC SYSTEM SAYS THIS OR THAT PERSON IS THIS OR THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE...LOL
I like that. what is your country?
Why do they care about skin colour, hair and eye colour? Do they leave hair colour blank for babies born without hair?
All of those characteristics you just listed actually make up ones race (especially skin colour), so there's no difference.

In the United States no one is going to acknowledge or give a subcategory on a form that says "Jewish" for technicality sake. Assuming they're not touched in the head or a brain rot basement dwelling 4chan user
All Askhenazi Jews and Sephardic Jews are white. Unless you consider only Northern European as whites.
My family is from Mexico, but some of my ancestors were sephardic jews, and most of us look like arabs, but also some of my family members do look white as well
No one knows you’re not white until you tell us your religion. Every Jewish person quite literally looks exactly like any other white person until they tell you they’re Jewish. Makes no sense. There’s no confusion between white and black
Actually A person who acknowledges that us Jews are not white.
You done well with this video ❤Shalum
Regarding your explanation of whiteness, I come from Europe and have white skin color, may I nevertheless not be considered "white" if I lack certain privileges or experience discrimination?
White is (loosely) biological, and not a social construct as some suggest. Same-same with gender. Choose one.
Peace.
You can be African-American because race doesn't really exist. If you identify as black then you are black, it doesn't really matter if other people say otherwise, unless they have power, then it matters, because racism is power + oppression. (According to these people)
My family came from Europe and have white skin but their neighbors in Poland yelled at them to go back to Palestine. My grandfather tried to go home after the war.

thats great maybe read a book or two.
cool but who is pushing this stuff i wonder
When diversity is trusted upon your civilization, you will begin to notice it too
I fail to comprehend the term whiteness. Is it that it means not fully white, or having some kind of white tint?
It means to be in a status of white privilege, and to uphold the standard of white privilege. And you can have white skin but not uphold whiteness, for example if a white looking person from Syria or Jordan, comes to America but still is not ashamed to express their culture they wouldn't exhibit whiteness.
gender and race a social construct ? and I think I am an alien born on earth ?
no , jews are middle eastern, skin colour alone does not define race , it is dna, facial features etc. and there are different white races, germanic , celtic , slavic etc. , that is a scientific fact,

🥹 Isaiah chapter 66:22“As the NEW heavens and the NEW earth that I make WILL endure before me,” declares the Lord, “so will your name and DESCENDANTS endure. Does this 1933 newspaper article which states “JUDEA DECLARES WAR ON GERMANY” have any relevancy here? And does the map entitled NEGROLAND KINGDOM OF JUDAH have any relevancy at all as it pertains to the territory and it's descendants? And is Deuteronomy 28 prophesizing the transatlantic slave trade? And is NOT BEING ANTI-CHRIST CONSIDERED ANTI-SEMITIC?
Thanks for this interesting and educational video. So sad how people found excuses to discriminate against each other. I wish people would focus on the common good instead of differences.
THE REAL QUESTION SHOULD BE, WHAT PHENOTYPE DO EUROPEAN JEWS COME FROM... MONGOLOID, NEGROID OR CACAZOID. THERES ONLY 1 THAT WHITE PEOPLE COME FROM.
do jews have white skin? yes. are white people called white because they have white skin? yes.
Indeed. Ignorance is a curse.
Never happen. Diversity is NOT a strength! History proves this. Diversity only leads to conflict.
These people label themselves as "white" when it suits them and then set themselves apart from whites when that is expedient to their interests.
Why just yesterday I was shared a story of a polish Jew who sadly raised his children up denying jewish identity because of fear they would be targeted. He ask how I was so bold to always wear my kippah? I corrected him gently and stated not bold just me, proud and visible. My heritage is mixed and I identify as half white. UNPACKED team is so Great. keep up the amazing videos.
Why is this hater allowed to attack whites and get away with it. He's trying to turn every other race against whites for some strange reason.
That's probably because of the leading Jewish role and creation of communism

He made this about American problems and didn't answer the question lol. I'm still confused. Can Arabs be Jewish or just Muslim. Where is the historical benchmark?
My grandma is a Jew (nationality-wise, she is not religious). Both of my sisters made DNA-tests in different labs, and they showed 25% of Jewish DNA. My skin is light, but I never get sunburns and easily tan to dark brown shades.
However, many Jews are light-skinned, blue-eyed, with light hair. For some of them, having appearance like this saved their ancestors from the Holocaust.
It's so much more complicated than just skin color.
The Jews we see def not look like the Jews of the Bible
"they showed 25% of Jewish DNA", what type of Jewish? Ashkenazim, Sfardim, Mizrahim?
Different Jews are made up of different populations they live in which usually different "races" or ethnic groups - can you add?
It's not complicated Jews are more closely related to Europeans than to Arabs, Jews have DNA similar to Italians

The whole concept is pretty complicated and unfortunately has a really dark past. I personally do believe that it is a real thing and not just a social construct, and honestly I think the existence thereof is actually really really cool, think about it, imagine a world where all of us looked basically the same, how boring would that be? Its existence in my opinion is just another thing that makes all of us more unique, and I think every person on the planet should be proud of who they are and where they came from. It's just things like slight differences that helped us survive in our environments in which we belived for however many thousands of years, one big thing is how different pigment levels that helped either block sunlight because it was abundant, or let more in because we lived somewhere where we didn't have as much sunlight throughout the year, ultimately helping prevent sunburn or cancer, or contrastly helping us keep balanced levels of vitamins, but one that I think is actually particularly cool and honestly helpful is the subtle differences in bone structure, which in forensics can help determine what a skeleton would have looked like when they were alive which has helped us solve SO MANY missing person cases, and even further for things like Ötzie (I don't know if I spelled that right), that frozen guy from the Alps where we can see where ancient people came from.
I think however the concept of judging someone based on our appearance isn't something that really should be blamed on one particular group or another, because that comes from all kinds of different groups of people, and I think the origin of this comes from something pretty interesting. Basically, as groups of people developed isolated from others they of course slowly evolved to be a little different depending on their environment, and this evolution isn't exclusively in physical appearance, but also culture, language, religion, but the real important one that I think is actually the real root and cause of all of this is that we developed both different tolerances and intolerances to diseases. Whenever two separated groups of people came into contact, in even the not so so distant past, both groups became exposed to different diseases that would result in tragic loss for both people's, and I think that resulted in a sometimes subconscious and sometimes on-purpose motivation to avoid outlanders. Unfortunately people at that time across the globe were not all on the same page scientifically so people came to different conclusions as to WHY they didn't want to interact with certain groups of people. This could be directed towards certain religions, languages, cultures, even architecture :( but the one that we focus on the most today is appearance, and this although came from innocent origins of simply trying to protect your kin from sickness, it over time evolved into something pretty tragic.
Today we live in a world that's different. We now have vaccines so the threat of disease is largely an easily avoidable problem as long as you just use your common sense. Our discrimination today is COMPLETELY IRRATIONAL. Not only is the disease thing really not a problem anymore, but we also now know that biologically there's nothing about our appearances that makes anyone less than another. Regarding culture, I think we live in a REALLY cool point in time where it is SO easy to gain exposure to other people through both the internet and easy transportation, and honestly if we all expose ourselves to other cultures we can find 'oh this aspect of this other culture is something really cool that works well for them and really seems to improve their quality of life' and therefore we can actually refine our own cultures to adopt aspects of others lives and in a way work together as ONE HUMANITY to improve the GLOBAL quality of life. We can now look at other's architecture and admire it, and if you don't that's fine, but I personally love seeing the differences among us and how we have made ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL creations all across the globe. I don't know about you but I think that is SO SO COOL!!!
As for the title of the video, I think honestly there really isn't an actual answer and I think the question in itself isn't very useful, and here's where I agree on why it is a social construct. See I think that it is real, but how we previously defined it wasn't very scientific, but we also lived in a time where global interaction wasn't as common as now, so in a way it was easier to make the distinction, but for the wrong reasons. Originally we all started off in one place and that's ultimately why we're all the same species, and then we spread out and isolated ourselves, evolved into our uniquenesses and what not, BUT, those differences are not separated by clear boundaries, and it's pretty much the same thing linguistically too. Arabic is a pretty big language, and is spoken in many many countries. If you were dropped off in say the middle of Saudi Arabia and learned how to speak Arabic exactly like how they do there, and then took yourself 50 miles west towards Africa, there would be slight differences in how they speak, but you'd still have no trouble communicating, and if you keep that pattern up, by the time you reach far North-West Africa, it's still Arabic but you'd really struggle to communicate because it just slowly became almost unrecognizable, and you at that point would be inclined to label the language of your home village in Saudi Arabia and Morocco as completely different, but it's really just one big thing that in linguistics we call a 'dialect continuum'. I think our appearances are the exact same way. You start in Northern Finland and work your way down to South Africa, the change in appearance in theory should be almost unnoticeable, similar to the frog in cold to hot water thing. So in all reality there isn't really a clear distinction on where a label for one group of people starts and ends, instead we artificially make that distinction, thus, the 'social construct' with the boarders of countries, which is entirely political and not based on anything material. So depending on where a someone is from, his appearance will simply just be different, and when comparing the appearance of any two people, the difference of appearance will be more subtle or more obvious depending on the distance between the homelands of those to people. Furthermore, in the modern age as we all have, in reality, super easy transportation compared to our past, and people migrate into other societies those differences become mixed together and that makes that unscientific distinction of that past that a lot of us still have deeply engrained into our societies, pretty hard to make, and who knows, maybe in the distant future the idea our differences might be something that completely fades away if we end up all merging together, and maybe some crazy situation might happen before then that causes us to go back several thousand years and we develop entirely new differences, who knows.
The important thing is to be kind to one another and to celebrate our differences! Let us admire our unique developments and different advancements in technology or culture. For crying out loud, the Proto-Indo-Europeans likely domesticated the horse and developed the wheel and we descendants of them should be proud of that, during the Middle Ages the Arabs had some of the best physicians that the world had ever seen up until that point, and anyone who's Arab should be proud of that. Look into who you are, where you came from, learn more about what your ancestors did to contribute to modern society, and that could be something beneficial like math, science, engineering, medicine, and it could be more entertainment based things like music. Oh music!!! How cool are the different kinds of music that we have all come up with! The European 12 tone equal temperament scale is so beautiful, the syncopation of African music giving us the concept of groove! So many popular genres of music wouldn't even exist if there was no concept of syncopation and groove. The microtonal notes and the unique time signatures of Indian music! Oh my goodness it is so so cool! Be proud of who you are! Every single one of us comes from some group of people, and every single one is FILLED with an incredibly rich history and the world would be a pitiful place if we didn't have these.
Love yourself, and love others. We are all beautiful and wonderful beings, and our uniquenesses are something to celebrate and learn from. There's this movie based on a book, both are called 'The Giver', both the book and the movie are absolutely fantastic! The basic plot if you haven't seen or read it, is there's this society where there is literally no uniqueness, there is no color, no music, no dancing, the only real differences are basically fingerprints, eyes, age, height, personality, but pretty much everything else is gone. Anyway, there's a scene in the movie where our historical uniquenesses get exposed to this society and there's this montage of all these different cultures and it shows both the terrible, and the beautiful, and it's really powerful emotionally, and I seriously recommend giving that scene in particular a watch, but the book and the full movie really are so good. There's also 'We Are The People' by Marin Garrix, Bono and The Edge, and Martin Garrix did a more dance festival remix version of the song and the music video for that has a really similar concept and I also recommend giving that a watch.
Anyway, I hope whoever reads this the best, take care of yourself and keep your friends and family close. My grandmother just passed away a week ago and I really regret not spending as much time with her as I could have, please don't make the mistake I have. I love you all and hope you have a great rest of your day :)

The white/black thing isn't seen in the bible.
Why was the ADL created? And if Whiteness is a social construct, then all other "races" are also constructs, and there's no such thing as an African-American, but only what is perceived to be one. So, if someone was born in, say, Osterbotten Sweden, to a family of Sapmi people, but immigrated and lives in the USA, they can be "Black/African American", even if they don't speak English but rather their own native Uralic tongue, or have ever had any contact with any "Blacks", because they can be seen as such by others that think they are "Black" or by the "non-Blacks".
"White" is people of the "Caucasoid" race. "Black" is people of the "Negroid" race. "Oriental" is people of the "Mongoloid" race. Some anthropologists argue there is a very small population of a fourth race called "Australoid" to refer to people indigenous to the continent of Australia. That's it. It's not a "social construct". "Social Construct" is a term invented by racists, specifically Leftist identitarians, to carve out a boogie man for people to hate. It's cultural Marxism and it is the true racism infecting the West today. The guy speaking in this video, and the people who run this channel, are racists who don't even believe the things they're saying. They just want you to believe it so you'll think how they want you to think.

The Bible does contain descriptions of the physical appearances of various ancient peoples, including the Israelites, Cushites, and Egyptians. However, it is important to approach these descriptions with caution and recognize the limitations and complexities of interpreting them.
In the Bible, there are references to the Cushites, who are often associated with regions in modern-day Ethiopia or Sudan. Cushites are described in various ways, but it is crucial to note that these descriptions primarily refer to their geographic location and cultural context rather than their physical appearance.
Regarding the Israelites and Egyptians, the Bible does not provide explicit and comprehensive physical descriptions of these peoples as a whole. It is worth noting that both the Israelites and Egyptians were diverse populations, and their physical features would have varied among individuals and over time.
The biblical texts primarily focus on theological, historical, and cultural aspects, rather than providing detailed physical descriptions of people. Consequently, relying solely on the Bible for precise physical descriptions may be challenging.
It is important to approach biblical texts with a balanced understanding, considering the literary and theological purposes of the authors and the historical context in which the texts were written. Additionally, when studying ancient populations and their physical appearances, scholars draw from a combination of archaeological evidence, historical records, and genetic research to gain a more comprehensive understanding.
In summary, while the Bible does contain some references to the physical appearances of various ancient peoples, interpreting these descriptions requires careful consideration and should be supplemented with other sources to form a more accurate understanding of the diverse populations of that time.

THE REAL QUESTION SHOULD BE, WHAT PHENOTYPE DO EUROPEAN JEWS COME FROM... MONGOLOID, NEGROID OR CACAZOID. THERES ONLY 1 THAT WHITE PEOPLE COME FROM.
I’m half Ashkenazic, and proud of it, and I do not identify as wholly white. Looking at pictures of my paternal (Ashkenazic) grandparents and my maternal (white Anglo-Saxon) ones leaves little doubt that many “white” Jews are ethnically distinct from our Germano-Celtic neighbors.
If it helps clarify a murky question, I think it is fair to say that white-ish Jews are “socially white” in a post-war American context, but perhaps not in other ways. I take after my dad physically and am dark-complected and rather typically Jewish looking. I sometimes get mistaken for Greek, or Sicilian, or occasionally a light-skinned Hispanic, but no one ever looks at me and says “Gee, do you have Scandinavian ancestry?”. Anyway, good job with the video.
Judaism is a religion, it's not an ethnic group of people! Europeans converted to Judaism. They are not indigenous/ethnically North Africans! in fact Europeans came to North Africa as invaders.
Since you mentioned Brazil, we are the 10th country with more Jews. First black Jew I saw was close to my home and he was very, very dark skinned.
Thank you for that 🙏🏻❤️
I had anticipated a deep dive into the rich, ancient history of the Jewish people, spanning thousands of years. However, I was met with a disconcerting discourse heavily influenced by Critical Race Theory, which unjustly labeled all white individuals as white supremacists. Rather than pinpointing specific individuals or groups responsible for discrimination, the speaker made sweeping generalizations, categorizing all white people as uninformed proponents of Aryan supremacy, and painting them as adversaries of Jewish and Black communities.
That makes the ashkenazi-people, white supremacists too, because they are white. They should be proud to be white, not hate on white people or whiteness in general, why would you want to hate yourself?
What you think of gypsies?
The video Is standard for Neo Marxist ideology cult bubble basted statements.
He did not label all White individuals as White Supremacists. He argued that the definition of "Whiteness" is malleable and includes different people in different time periods and places as defined by cultural/political leaders in order to create an "us-them" dichotomy where those defined as "White" can be superior legally, culturally, economically, and socially to those defined as "Non-White". He is arguing that these battle-lines create supremacy not that people defined as "White" are inherently supremacist themselves.

Good and informing presentation, Sir. I learned a lot here. Having good understanding is crucial if we are to solve prejudices, so thank you for all your hard work here, Sur🌹🌿🌷So Jews have been singled out only because they're Jews? I am so sorry for any and all acts of prejudice committed against jews. Jews have contributed so much good to humanity and I have no doubt that there are a lot of good people who are Jewish, and (at the same time) it may be for more than just one reason why they were singled out. I'd love to open up the conversation with you on that, like are some Jews prejudice against gentiles (just because they're gentiles)? And has there ever been a boss (who happened to be Jewish) who was less than fair to his workers? If so, has this happened more than once (so, have gentiles ever suffered at the hands of Jews? If so, did it ever happen more than once in history)? And can we talk about the casualties of WWII that were of different races or nationalities (not Jewish)? Do Jews feel so bad for them too? I don't doubt that white supremacists exist, and it's atrocious that it exists 😞😡 but are there other groups out there too who have ever behaved like supremacists also? If so, who? Have Jews ever partaken in such attitudes against other groups? If so, it's not about the person who's doing the wrong, it's the act and attitude (thinking and upbringing) that is wrong- no matter whose doing the wrong. Don't you think? So, it's not a race thing- it's an attitude and way of thinking that's wrong. Don't you think?
There are good and bad people of every race and religion.
I think groups use racism marking as a way to give themselves an advantage in competition for jobs and rights. But white Christians have a history of being particularly good at it. So the act is heinous from any point of view, but those most guilty are White Christians.
These are separate issues. As the reply by @Nancy-mi3xe states, there are people who behave poorly and those who behave well in every race and religion. What is also true, is that many people target or/and discriminate against others who are "different" from them--who aren't from the same race, ethnicity, or/and creed as they are. This latter issue is what the video is about. This type of discrimination DOES exist and is a major problem in society. For a while, it was more hidden after the end of World War II but has now been more up front due to Donald Trump enabling this type of hatred with his harmful rhetoric. And while I wasn't alive at the time, my late mother was and told me how the popular singer Kate Smith (known today mostly for her rendition of God Bless America) spoke out against Father Coughlin's divisive radio diatribes as mentioned in the video. Father Coughlin lost a lot of his popularity after that because Kate Smith was very popular and respected and a fellow Catholic. Kate Smith did a tremendous service to the country with that and it should not be forgotten.

Very informative and interesting piece. Recently I've read that female ashkenazi jews had prominent european origin,even if the appearance after many generations became like their fathers, meaning that white women married jewish men for many generations. Caucasian is used in the USA exclusively to mean pale complexion, but scientifically it includes Semitic people (jews and arabs) as well as people from India, Pakistan, bangladesh, and sri lanka, many of whom have near black skin... Black skinned Caucasians?

"Caucasian" was a term that Johann Blumenbach used when he categorized people into five groups and though the best looking white people were from the land of Joseph Stalin. It's pure pseudo-scientific bunk but 19th century racists liked it because it sounded more scientific--and hence "factual"--than using the term "white". It was used in law and there's even a Supreme Court case US v Thind, that found that while an Indian was "Caucasian" he wasn't the right kind of Caucasian (even though he argued in his case that he knew how to be racist against non-Caucasian Indians, in the end it didn't make a difference.)
There is no scientific definition of "Caucasian". Race isnt a scientific concept. PERIOD

Maybe America can overcome its past to some degree. But with racial elements playing a huge part of America's conception it's really hard to get away from it all.
My jewish friend steve would get so pissed when people would confuse him with mexican... Little did he know that mexicans are some of the nicest, bravest humble, Hard working family oriented people in the planet..
8:15 The premises of this narrative come from intersectional theory (popularly known as DEI), and they're essentially a sloppy re-writing of marxism where the bourgeoisie is replaced by other groups. As such, the questions are not valid.
Shallom! Very powerful speech. Thank you for the insight into the complex issue of "whiteness". As an "Aryan looking" Jew, this speaks volumes into why I have certain emotions in different company. Further, your talking of Jews in African American townships, answered questions of my lineage. I am healthily mixed, according to 23&me and just looking at my relatives.
Mazel tov!
So if you are "Aryan" looking, do you mean you look like you are from Iran or India?
Those are t the original Jews they have converted
@@grasmereguy5116The term aryan is what the Nazis called proper German people who looked like what they deemed the superior race and they allowed to live and thrive while they butchered the Jews who the decided were not. You need to educate yourself before you ask such questions.
The World is onto you now
The word "aryan" is a proto Iranian word that describes the culture if i remember correctly.
Very interesting video. I’m glad I found this channel. Thank you for the information.
thanks for this informative piece of art
Tp call this a "masterpiece" of a video is embarrassing.
@@andreeaalexandru7811for me it is, or u can enlighten me why this isnt👀
Dude I used to have whiter skin than my white friends...
u mean 'white' american? because white americans are just brown 'white people'
This is fascinating to me as I recently found out my great great great grandfather came from jewish immigrants I’m African American and he was probably from Lithuania or Belarus maybe he was assimilating by having slaves or maybe something different lots of possiblities maybe he wasnt white enough
The Bible is full of Black Jews Ma Man you, like the Narrator are in great need of further study of the topic and are terribly misinformed about who Jews and Jewish people Really are.
@@JermarWilliamsonSo Jews really aren't Jews? And fake history isn't real history.
@@JermarWilliamsonEastern European Jews adapted Judaism. There’s a large number of them that did not descend from Middle East. They took on Jewish identify. But they are white Europeans.
My parents always tried to pass as white. We were told to tell people who asked what our religion was, that we were Methodists. Which was weird, as that church was across the street from our house, yet we never went to it. We might have pulled it off, if my parents hadn't insisted on speaking Yiddish to each other. My mom blamed our exposure on my kinky hair, not the Yiddish.
Still, when it came out, we were kicked out of the town's only country club.
(I assume you know that joke?)
That's a pretty funny tale!
"Kinky hair"; talk about a fucking stereotype and coming from a Jew (if you really are one). I am Ashkenazi; I have relish blind hair, lily white skin and blue eyes ... just saying.
@deborahfreedman333
That must’ve been rough. Obviously your Mom was uncomfortable with her Jewishness. I hope you check out a Chabad House and reclaim your Jewish pride. Much love. 💙
What a stupid story that sounds like a non Jew made it up. I'm Jewish and have 100% straight reddish blond hair (and I am a guy). Stereotypes are just that and it's offensive to have a person posing as an actual Jew tell it.
Thank you for this video. Greek Jewish American over here.
Does it really matter what the color of one's skin is?
Exactly, skin pigmentation ONLY inform one thing the colour of one's skin & only for those with eyes to see....
I’m just curious like how did nazis differ Jews from like Germans. The Jews looked like Germans.
The image of the video, the comedian Sarah Silverman, adds even more to the ridiculousness of the argument. A women which looks "exotic" to an audience of Northern European origin, looks pretty much like a random Spanish, French or Italian woman. Still white.
she looks jewish to me
jewish is not a color@@megasizer5119
An accurate picture of history. But, are you dispelling misconceptions and hate, or giving haters more ammunition to amplify more hatred? I believe it’s the former. I just want more amplification of why we must love each other. “You can say I’m a dreamer. But, I know I’m not the only one.”
It is ironic that you quote John Lennon’s song, “Imagine”. Talented as he was as a musician, Lennon was antisemitic.
@@richardsteinberg9696 can you please point me toward the source of John Lennon being antisemitic? Thanks.
@@ed.z. He said imagine if there were no countries or religion. Clearly this would include the Jews.
@@tuckerbugeater it’s a dream, buddy. In reality being in a tribe seems like today’s reality…As a matter for survival.
Working towards a dream seems like a worthy pursuit, even though it’s a luxury, it’s the difference between progress and stagnation. The balance between pragmatism and idealism is what we live with in order to survive our flawed economic system.
Short answer: No
Long answer: No
Yet their skin completion IS white
My name "Weiss"means white in German. Most Weisses are connected to Judaism, but not all.
What about gruenewald
Thank you for so eloquently stating reasons i dont feel comfortable identifying as white, from a soviet union Jew who lived and grew up in America since 1994
This is why I don't use the term "white" (and not just in relation to light-skinned Jews) - I use the term "white-passing." I am white-passing. My grandfather and uncle were definitely not.
If you pass as White, guess what?... You're White.
These social (note: social, not individual or personal) constructs are about how "society" (meaning most people around) see you and categorize you. It's not your 23andMe test or a story grandma told you or what you cooked for dinner last night. You don't have to "identify with" it and probably shouldn't, but if most people identify you as such, meaning you have passed into that category, then you're that category because you're not in another category.
Ridiculous, "white passing" is a term applied to black people that are light skinned and want to pass as white people. Doesn't usually work because moist time they have black facial features and hair. Sometime its does work though. I have never heard of a Jewish person "passing" because there is no need to pass. For the most part Jews are simply white. Unless you go to Israel, most Jews in Europe and North America are Ashkenazi Jews.
Jews are inbrdshidskins
Your video has a lot of misinformation. I suggest viewers research some historians and scholars in racial cultural studies, on this subject
