Fuck Them Part Deux. The Whoppi Goldberg Fauxtraversey.

 Of fucking course racism enabler and platform publishing ally to the same,  Ann Althouse got her racist hive all stirred up by posting about the Whoppi Goldberg fauxtraversey.  For those of you who don't know, Whoppi made some technically correct yet juicy for the trolls, remark that Jewish isn't a race.

I am not saying all the peeps taking offense are faking it, like I assume all the racists on Althouse's comment section to her post about this, who are calling a Whoppi a racist, clearly are. Let's recap.  Ever since I took that class in International law, over 30 years ago, I take the UN definition of racial discrimination as my core definition for what is and what is not racist.

The Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination defines "racial discrimination" as:

... any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life.^[22]

But ironically, hypocritically, Republicans usually try to limit the definition of what should be considered racist.  So they are rewriting their working def., in this case, just as an excuse to call a black liberal woman a racist.  That is what is going on here.  And by that, I mean Althouse's comment section, racist goons, and any other Republican calling Whoppi a racist for saying Jews are not a separate race.  Which is technically true but not under International Law, actually.  And Republicans hate the UN and International Law, as their usual default.  PS.   That Convention was written as such to specifically include antisemitism in the definition.  But what number of Republicans knew that before going after Whoppi?

I speed read the comments.  There were a handful of posts thoughtfully either defending her, or at least the idea she inelegantly expressed.  But alas.  No one took the trolls on for being their usual, racist, trollish selves.

When it is all said and done, my favorite line over there is as follows:

"Much ado about nothing."
