I've been taken for Iranian, Afghan, Indian, Mexican(or at least Spanish speaking), a Muslim in Edinburgh Scotland, Georgian, Armenian incredibly warned in Israel I might be mistaken for an Arab, and on and on. I'm Ashkenazi...Russian Jewish diaspora ancestry. My friend(deceased) from Alexandria was olive skinned and tanned dark. He identified as a Jew along with me...not as an Arab Egyptian. What a sick world in which darkness of skin color gives one "authenticity."

Few notions could be sillier than that one.

When I lived there when I was younger I sometimes overheard people saying: Jews are N*****s turned inside out. [I once heard the same said about Italians]. Now Jews and Italians in America are classified as white and therefore, in this fashionably "Leftist" thinking, are beneficiaries of what in America is called "white skin privilege." <br /><br />For the record, my mother's father was brown, probably darker than Obama's preacher, Rev Wright. My mother was called olive-skinned and, in Yiddish, <i>shvarts-kheynevdik</i> (= darkly attractive), and her sister looked that shade too. So my mother was darker than this young woman. My father's brother and his sons were fairly swarthy too. Maybe Americans are getting so crazy over skin color, or have been all along although in different ways, that they ought to carry photometers with them in order to judge whom to befriend and be kind to. I am sure that some of my family members had trouble in America from bigoted people but more from hostility to Jews than from skin color, although maybe from that too, or maybe combined with Judeophobia.<br /><br />Some Americans may have hated Blacks and some still do. But they often overlooked the swarthy skin color of many Jews, Armenians, Italians, Greeks and Arabs, for that matter. When the civil rights for Blacks struggle was going on in the US, the governor of Arkansas was Orval Faubus who did not want to allow equality to Blacks. It is of interest in the context of Sigal's opinions that Faubus' top advisor in those days, the mid-1950s, was one Jimmy Karam, of Lebanese or Syrian descent. Karam was also notorious for stirring up pro-segregation mobs.<br /><br />http://digitalcollections.uark.edu/cdm/search/searchterm/Jimmy%20Karam/mode/exact<br /><br />https://books.google.co.il/books?id=Mz8uGcoeLZQC&pg=PA27&lpg=PA27&dq=%22orval+faubus%22+%2B+%22jimmy+karam%22&source=bl&ots=nV7_jOTReo&sig=jmQT_YVAySnydHiV-5tY6V3TFKU&hl=iw&sa=X&ved=0CB4Q6AEwAGoVChMIsfuj9pOfxwIVwWsUCh1kdA7r#v=onepage&q=%22orval%20faubus%22%20%2B%20%22jimmy%20karam%22&f=falseEliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-76602469250176541172015-08-10T16:13:52.850+01:002015-08-10T16:13:52.850+01:00Rachel Dolezal.
