I know that nothing compares to the Nazis and the Holocaust. Unfortunately when there are things happening that have similarities, no matter how minor in comparison, it is hard to avoid doing so. But I will try. I have been a reader of the NY Times for almost 50 years. I always knew that the paper leaned left, but for the most part it was mostly objective and always challenged and enlarged my perspective on things. About seven years ago I started noticing usage of the terms "whiteness," "white supremacy" and "white priveledge" on a regular basis. I started reading articles which essentially would claim that things like philosophy and science were products of the white race and therefore not universal. This snowballed over the years and when Trump was elected all hell broke loose. Practically every article in the paper referenced white supremacy no matter what the topic...even recipes! The racial hatred and resentment spread throughout the left wing media to the point where anybody who did not agree was portrayed as a drooling, toothless, inbred animal. Fortunately the targets of this hatred are currently not a minority and I don't think their lives are in danger. But if this dehumanization were targeted at a minority we would have a moral catastrophe on our hands. So I have no problem with what Gina Carano said. Racial hatred and dehumanization is always wrong. And one last thing, if white people ever became a minority and were targeted by another majority group, don't think that Jews would not be at the top of the persecution list.

Would that include all the Non-white Jews? Or are you just forgetting that the Jewish diaspora is much larger and varied than most are aware of.

Would probably come to a point where some pseudoscientific movement would claim 'Jew' is a racist term, the real Jew is anyone who is oppressed, and 'white' Jews and anyone who benefits from white supremacy is actually White, which would include any Jew. and the braindead mob nods and smiles. I've heard enough of the racist CRT Bs to realize that the ashkenazi Jew is probably at the top of their list for most hated group, and they hate that they can't say it out loud. But the existence of the Jewish people has always put a thorn in their ridiculous ideology - it proves it is worthless
