I'm pretty sure that's still a thorny issue.

Seems thornier to pretend two obviously Caucasian-European women don't have white privilege, tbh.

[(Anonymous)]

Tell that to the white supremacists and Nazis that Jewish people have white privilege.

[(Anonymous)]

Many awful people violently hate Jews, and this is very bad and awful and has to be rejected in the strongest possible terms.

At the same time, there are important ways in which many Jewish people have assimilated into mainstream American ideas of "whiteness", and many conditions under which they benefit from white privilege.

Both of these things are true at the same time. Privilege is not a binary. Someone can be both white and Jewish at the same time, at least in a contemporary American context.

Or whatever.

I still think it's debatable saying that a Jewish person wouldn't be treated any differently than another white person, especially in today's political climate with the current American administration.

[(Anonymous)]

The context here was, specifically, how contemporary fandom treats these characters. So, honestly, I don't think that it's a reasonable concern here.

It's also important to keep in mind these are far from the only examples of people making this kind of criticism. It's the same thing that comes up in almost anything where there's a love potion or love spell, for instance. Regardless of whether or not the characters involved are Jewish.

This. Love potions have been questionable since they were wrote about first by Rowling (and whatever authors used the device before). Doesn't matter who uses them. They remove consent.

Not all Jewish people are white.

Most in America absolutely are, ethnically speaking. Queenie from the Harry Potter movie is 150% white woman.
