Pretty much.
I don't think it extends to Irish or Italian Americans the way you say. They can't hide behind their heritage if they are attacked, and they frequently were. The closest I can think is what it'd be like to be an Italian during the mafia days. You didn't have to be Italian to be a gangster, but you had to pay your respects to the Dons who were almost exclusively Italian. The Dons made sure to preserve Italian influence over the operations which brought a lot of Italian culture and customs into the scene. All Italians weren't in the mafia, which probably made their lives harder because people started associating their customs and traditions with the mob. If someone was like, these Italian mobsters are exploiting me, the whole society didn't go, "YOU CAN'T SAY THAT! Think of the other Italians who AREN'T mobsters!" Those groups of mobsters weren't able to defend themselves by claiming these people were RACISTS! I honestly can't think of a single area that is dominated by the Irish. Maybe cops in certain NE suburbs? Even then, if a black dude said, "these Irish cops are dominating the streets," you think anyone in this country would bat an eye? There's no Irish banker that gets out of a scandal because we can't talk about their heritage. You can say literally anything about the Irish and they were one of the most persecuted people groups in America. Great Britain completely oppressed the Irish for centuries and treated them like second class citizens. They are happily used as mascots. Second to southerners and pollacks, I can't think of a different people group that gets made fun of more. I understand your concern for Jewish people as a whole. I, in no way, shape, or form advocate for any discrimination against people for their beliefs or race. I advocate for an independent and free Israel. I think people should be treated as individuals, not as groups. I just don't know why, this particular group that identifies as Jewish and pushes identity politics, only objects when someone calls out for exploiting other peoples' work. Here's a great documentary about how the Jews created Hollywood called an Empire of their Own... it was made by Jews and even won Best Jewish Experience Documentary at the Jerusalem Film Festival. Why can't Kanye acknowledge what they do? I think this group of people originally had good intentions but has learned to master creating narratives that influence people. I think it's an interesting watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXeHnvImcMk |
