ADL Admits it Doesn’t Know What It’s Been Fighting

Until 2020, this was the ADL’s definition of racism: “the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person’s social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics.”

Apparently the ADL used this definition for some time, even though the classic example of racism – calling a black person the N-word – isn’t even included.

In the summer of 2020, at the height of the George Floyd riots, the ADL got a new definition of racism: ­“The marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people.”

So, now it was clear: it had to do with being bad only to people who aren’t white. If the Chinese decided to deport all the black people in China, or if a black man sets out to kill every white person he finds, that’s not racism because only non-whites can be victims of racism.

Earlier this month, the ADL changed its definition again. But it’s so unsure of itself, it calls this an “interim definition.” “Racism occurs when individuals or institutions show more favorable evaluation or treatment of an individual or group based on race or ethnicity.”

This is idiotic. If the Polish-American Club recruits Polish Americans, it’s racist. The Black Congressional Caucus is racist, because only blacks can join. Same for the Hispanic Caucus. And if Koreans want Koreans to join their Korean churches that’s “racism,” too.

And the whole state of Israel is “racist.” You can’t immigrate unless you’re Jewish.

However, if Jews really aren’t white, they don’t have white privilege. When the call goes out for more diversity – as it always does – they can raise their hands and say, “Me too.” It means they are off the hook for all the awful things white people have done ever since there were white people.

What a deal! Where do I go to convert?
