Like, fuck, I'd be a little flattered if for once, racist people thought I control Hollywood and run the banks instead of just assuming I'm an absentee father who robs liquor stores.
Anti-Semitism also especially reveals how ad hoc the white supremacist ideology is. "The reason whites have a higher socio-economic status than blacks, Latinos, etc. is that whites are just smarter. None of it has to do with structural issues because only individual merit matters. Also, the only reason Jews are so successful is because idk they're cheating and rigging the system against whites somehow they can't just be better at competing than I am."

These arguments are so easy to poke holes in, too, which is why it's absurd they persist. For instance, if Hollywood was "run by the Jews" why does Mel Gibson still get choice roles?
