Qualified white gentiles are massively under-represented in the ivy league because white jews are massively over-represented. So the victimology is a little off in your comment. Look into Ron Unz's analysis on this matter. Jews are astoundingly over-represented (beyond any quantifiable qualification) at many elite colleges.

I think you're reading my comment with a bit too much scope placed on postsecondary education.

My point is about being treated as white when it's convenient, and being treated as non-white when convenient. All depending on the biggot's current goal at any one point in time. It's the limbo state for any group that assimilates but retain distinguishing characteristics that make them stand out from the pool of caucasians (a group that used to have deep seated strife over country of heritage, but now are treated as one due to their more amorphous distinguishing characteristics).

If you want to expand the scope it gets even worse. Why is Christianity so marginalized in the public square in a majority Christian country where even today most immigrants are Christian?

You really have no point. You were trying to evoke some fist shaking gentile mad at them thar jews and gooks. It doesn't exist, and in fact the gentile is getting steamrolled.

Jesus Christ dude, quit putting words in my mouth.

Saying "welcome to being white" wasn't saltiness, I was making a glib comment Asians have assimilated enough, they're going to get treated more like white people (e.g. "diversity" in tech (and now, apparently, higher ed) changing from "less whites" to "less whites and Asians").

I don't think my posts harbor any resentment toward Asians or the Jewish, I was trying to be sympathetic toward them by hedging my glib blanket comment and acknowledging the fact they're exposed to the worst of both worlds as bigots' prerogative will treat them in whatever context that best serves their end.

I should have bailed when you said "victimology" and name dropped Unz.

I'm not here to break out my A Beautiful Mind corkboard and reinvent tolerance from first principles. I was just commiserating with a point that it sucks to be on the receiving end of "the insinuation that my race might be considered a meaningful dimension in the pursuit of class diversity".
