The idea that there’s any difference between white racialists and racialists of any other race is a myth. Racists are racists. But identity politics insists that racists are only those who have power and that minorities by definition never have any power and therefore can’t be racists (or as they insist on calling it ‘reverse racism’.)
Out of that moral critical race theory void comes not only the cheerleading for Hamas, but the old-fashioned gutter antisemitism of California’s Ethnic Studies Curriculum. The curriculum is bad enough on its own, but this out of Santa Ana’s Ethnic Studies Steering Committee is exactly the kind of racism that hardly exists anymore except when it’s being practiced by the racial nationalists whose identities render them immune to racism charges.
When members of SAUSD’s Ethnic Studies Steering Committee were apprised of the Jewish community’s concerns about antisemitism in ethnic studies plans, they noted in an official agenda that they would need to “address the Jewish question.”
Senior officials mused about using Jewish holidays to approve courses at the Board level to prevent Jews from attending.
A Committee leader referred to the only Jewish member as a “colonized Jewish mind” and a “f—ing baby” for expressing concerns over antisemitism on the Committee.
An SAUSD Board member suggested that Jewish Americans do not belong in ethnic studies because they are “racialized as under the white category.”
Members of the Steering Committee reportedly said, “Jews are not a disadvantaged ethnic group in the U.S. because they were never slaves,” that “Jews greatly benefit from white privilege, so they have it better,” and “we don’t need to give both sides. We only support the oppressed, and Jews are the oppressors.”
This is what happens when you empower a group of racial nationalists under the guise that everyone else but them is very racist.
Antisemitism is just one of the bigotries produced by the ugliness that stems from critical race theory.
