Are Jews being given special treatment? Which Jews?
The DEI programs that addressed antisemitism are getting axed and Jewish student protestors are often treated horribly.
Intersectionality or not, universities were beginning to address antisemitism specifically through their DEI programs, which have been put on the chopping block. So anti-DEI does undermine efforts against antisemitism.

How is this a significant issue, outside of a few people grumbling on the internet?
Christianity is the norm in the US and negative attitudes towards the non-religious and non-Christians is common among Christians.

The majority of Americans either sympathize with fascism outright or are enabling it through "moderation" and apathy. How do you fix a spiritual sickness?
Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf that "The personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew."
WTF is wrong with you?
Seems bad:

In Nuremberg, โwe started to judge company executives and managersโ
Not sure why the link didn't work.
"In its Statute, the IMT stipulated that it should try individuals not entities. It did not try companies or States...there is an ongoing debate to this day...as to whether corporations have criminal liability as corporations. And that question is not settled."
"Managers or executives of companies that collaborated with the Nazis were tried both in the international Nuremberg trials (1945-1946) and in the twelve so-called "successor" trials organized by the Americans at Nuremberg from 1946 to 1949."
Corporations weren't, but individuals were.
Raรบl Hรฉctor Castro naturalization paperwork, 1936.

1920 census record for family of Raรบl Hรฉctor Castro.
Example...Mex-Am ambassador Raรบl Hรฉctor Castro. He's listed as "White" by color & "Mexican" by race on his naturalization doc. His draft card lists him as "White". Both parents are listed as "W" on 1920 census.
By contrast, Albert Einstein is listed as "White" & "Hebrew" on his naturalization docs.
I know how to look these records up. Just saying thank you for your skepticism and excellent questions. Keeping me on my toes and helping me think through these details more deeply.
22.07.2025 23:47 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0The legal whiteness of Mexicans was certainly relevant to laws against interracial marriage. Which typically banned white-Black marriages, which was a problem for legally white Mexicans who wanted to marry Black people.

Not quite. Those are specificities in regards to Mexicans, influenced by the context of treaty law. It didn't nullify anti-Asian restrictions, say.
I've seen many census, draft, and marriage records listing Mexicans as white. Now I need to find naturalization paperwork for Mexicans.
If you look at census documents for Mexican-Americans in the Southwest during the 1800s and early 1900s, they are consistently listed as whites on the census.
This is not to say they had full privilege compared to Anglos, but they had greater access to legal whiteness than Black and Native people.
"In 1897, a federal judge in Texas decided In Re Rodriguez,[8]a case in which a Mexican was seeking naturalization. Under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexicans (including mestizos with varying Indian ancestry) were collectively naturalizedโeven though naturalization after the Civil War was limited to whites and persons of African descent. The outcome in the case turned on the Court's conclusion that Rodriguez (although not strictly scientifically, anthropologically White) was nonetheless "white enough" in Professor Gรณmez's terminology, to fit within the allowable racial category and therefore was eligible for naturalization. This legal precedent, that Mexicans are white persons under the law, was greatly influenced by the Treaty's interpretation. A recently discovered case from 1935 concluded that a person with half Indian and half Spanish blood was not entitled to naturalization under the federal code, and it wasn't until the person was determined to have "only 2 percent Indian blood," that he was granted citizenship.[9]"
Not exactly.

I know. I know all this. But there are many facts of Black and Native oppression, codified into law, I didn't know. That's a problem.
