Post by: Shaggy 2 Grote on November 09, 2007, 12:17:43 AM: Dude, I'm Jewish, not white. That's totally offensive.

SRSLY, though, has anyone ever heard an older Jewish person say something to this effect? I grew up just assuming I was, you know, a white guy, but it's been popping up recently for whatever reason.

I believe that makes you irreversably white.

Actually I'm Irish American. In America, the Black Man of Britain is just another white guy.

Me too. And, um, Winston Churchill actually used a far less politically correct term than "black man."
