Jews ARE white. Most Middle-Easterners are.

The Census Bureau defines White people as follows:
“White” refers to a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicated their race(s) as “White” or reported entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Arab, Moroccan, or Caucasian.

Just because they're white doesn't mean they were consistently perceived as though they were throughout history.

(Hint: Most Americans don't see Arabs as white either.)

Just because they're white doesn't mean they were consistently perceived as though they were throughout history.

Also not consistently perceived as white throughout American history: Germans (other than Saxons), Irish, Italians, Greeks, Finns, and Slavs. But it would be absurd to therefore argue that, e.g. German-Americans aren't considered white today. Just as it's absurd to argue that Americans of ethnically Jewish descent aren't considered white today.

Depends on where you are in the world. Not everywhere is just like America. Lots of places that still wouldn't consider an American Jewish person white.

The anon you're replying to is rather obviously talking about America, seeing as how America is the place that uses these race definitions in the first place.

Not to mention that American SJWs expect everyone in the world to use the American race definitions.
