Those same race-hustlers conjure "whiteness" as an oppressor identity that incorporates Jews and Italians -- and potentially their respective West Coast counterparts, East Asians and Latinos (who are no more nor less "brown" than Italians) -- though when it's politically convenient, they'll speak of the oppressed as "Black and Brown."

Except for those now called BIPOC, we're all descended from immigrants who strove voluntarily to follow their dreams in North America -- most of whom had nothing to do with slavery (or Jim Crow, or even redlining for that matter).
