#ethnicity — Public Fediverse posts

The fascinating thing about this topic is how many fedi conversations it's inspired to sink down into the deep hole of the 19th century Anglo-European Race Science embedded in the brains of the left.

There's some crazy fucked up takes happening around these parts. Whats next, phrenology?

The blood quantum ratio counting is strong with these ones.

" #California is poised to become the first state to treat #Jewish identity as an #ethnicity on official forms, with a new optional checkbox heading to #Gov. #GavinNewsom’s desk.

Supporters say the change could reveal gaps in #healthcare, #education and #hatecrime response for the state’s 1.2 million #Jews, giving officials better data to direct resources.

Opponents warn a single ‘Jewish’ #ethnic box oversimplifies diverse Jewish histories and risks echoing past government tracking, amid elevated #antisemitism and debate over #religion, #ancestry and #culture."

The left violating the Civil Rights Act and boasting about it is seriously crazy town. 🤯

"A brow salon in Old Town #Alexandria, #VA, has become the latest flashpoint in the rising tide of open #antisemitism in #American commerce. #FatanaKarimi, owner of #KarimiBrows at 908 King Street Suite 310, recorded herself refusing service to a #Jewish client after learning the woman is #Israeli-American. According to the client’s detailed account and circulating video, the appointment ended abruptly once the conversation turned to the client’s background. #Karimi is reported to have ordered the woman out of the shop, declared that service to an Israeli violated her political beliefs, and asserted that #Israel does not exist.

The incident, which occurred in mid-August 2026, has drawn sharp condemnation from Jewish advocacy groups and ordinary #Americans who still believe that public businesses must serve customers without regard to #ethnicity, #religion, or #nationalorigin."

Palestinian Arrested In Quezon City For Stealing Money Bag

For some time now, I have been monitoring the criminal acts committed by people who are present in different countries as foreigners. Here in the Philippines, a Palestinian man was arrested in Quezon City for stealing a bag containing a lot of cash from the café of a hotel, according to a news report by the Manila Bulletin.

As it turns out, the Palestinian already has a history of committing other forms of crime. Could it be possible that, apart from violence and terrorism, theft and an obsession of committing crime are parts of the Palestinian nature?

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

A 36-year-old Palestinian man was arrested after allegedly taking a money bag containing P5,020 and an empty cash box from a hotel café on Timog Avenue in Barangay South Triangle, Quezon City, at around 11:06 p.m. on Thursday, July 23.

The suspect, identified as “Ham,” was intercepted by hotel security personnel at the establishment’s exit after the incident was detected through the hotel’s CCTV monitoring system.

Initial investigation showed that the suspect entered the café and allegedly took the money bag and empty cash box without the knowledge or consent of the 24-year-old male cashier.

Recovered from the suspect were P5,020 in various peso bills and coins, the cash bag, the empty cash box, and a backpack.

Personnel of Kamuning Police Station (PS 10) later responded and took custody of the suspect from the hotel security personnel.

Further verification showed that the suspect had previous criminal records for estafa, unjust vexation, resistance and disobedience to a person in authority, use of a fictitious name, and concealing his true name in October 2025, as well as theft in May 2026.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Are there a lot of Palestinians living in your local community right now? Are you aware of the fact that a lot of Palestinians follow Islamic terrorists as their leaders? How many Palestinians do you think are present all over the Philippines today? Did you notice an increase of the number of foreign Islamists in your local community over the past twelve months? Do you think the national government is secretly allowing Palestinians to enter the Philippines as high-priority refugees with immigration in mind?

#Resist! Judge halts enforcement of Trump administration’s anti-DEI orders in education

The ruling bars the administration from proceeding with its plans for a so-called “End DEI” portal and a certification requirement. It applies to any entity with ties to the plaintiff organizations.

By Steven Porter Globe Staff,Updated April 24, 2025, 1:03 p.m.

CONCORD, N.H. — "A federal judge in New Hampshire issued a preliminary injunction on Thursday blocking the Trump administration from following through on threats to #defund #schools that defy its directives on #diversity, #equity, and #inclusion.

"In an 82-page order, Chief Judge Landya B. McCafferty said the administration’s #AntiDEI interpretation of federal law, as expressed in a letter the US Department of Education distributed in February, fails to give teachers clarity about what exactly the government requires of them.

" 'When a law fails to provide ‘minimal guidelines’ governing its enforcement, it may sweep in so much conduct that enforcement decisions become based on the ‘personal predilections’ of the person or entity bringing the enforcement action,' she wrote, ruling that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed in proving the directives are unconstitutionally vague.

"McCafferty wrote that the February letter, in combination with the #EducationDepartment’s public statements about it and the launch of an '#EndDEI' portal, 'raise the specter of a public ‘witch hunt’ that will sow fear and doubt among #teachers lest they be publicly branded as peddlers of ‘divisive ideologies’ based on the Department’s — or even private parties’ — subjective assessments.'

"What’s more, teachers would face the risk of professional consequences whether they comply with the federal government’s anti-DEI directives or not, she added. The certification requirements for English teachers in New Hampshire, for example, require educators to consider #literature 'through various #CriticalLenses,' such as #gender, #ethnicity, #religion, or #SocioEconomic conditions, she noted.

"This lawsuit was first filed by attorneys with the National Education Association [#NEA] and the American Civil Liberties Union [#ACLU], who allege the administration is violating the #DueProcess and #FreeSpeech rights of teachers.

"Sarah Hinger, deputy director of the ACLU’s racial justice program, hailed Thursday’s ruling as a win for academic freedom.

" 'Every student deserves an education that reflects the full diversity of our society, free from political interference,' Hinger said in a statement. 'The federal government has no authority to dictate what schools can and cannot teach to serve its own agenda, and this ruling is an important step in reaffirming that.'

"The Center for Black Educator Development and six public school districts in #NewHampshire and #Vermont have since agreed to sign on as plaintiffs as well.

"State education commissioners were given until Thursday to submit certifications that their schools are complying with the federal government’s interpretation of the law, but McCafferty’s ruling bars the administration from proceeding with that certification requirement. It also bars the government from using its 'End DEI' portal as planned.

"The New Hampshire Department of Education required school districts and public charter schools to submit their certifications by last week, and most have done so, according to a list published on the state’s website.

"Rather than issue a nationwide injunction, McCafferty said the protections in her order apply to the plaintiffs in this case, their members, and 'any entity that employs, contracts with, or works with' at least one member of the plaintiff organizations.

"The NEA alone reports having 3 million members employed in a wide variety of educational settings, so McCafferty’s order could apply to a broad swath of entities.

"A federal judge in Maryland presiding over a similar lawsuit from another major labor union, the American Federation of Teachers, issued a similar order on Thursday.

"Judge Stephanie A. Gallagher wrote that she takes no position on whether the disputed policies are 'prudent or foolish,' but she must scrutinize the way the policies were made and has concluded the government didn’t follow the law.

"McCafferty was appointed by former president Barack Obama. [Gallagher?] was appointed by Trump.

"The government is expected to pursue an appeal."

The racial tensions within Hawai`i stem from oppressive colonialism, unjust self-victimization, and a myriad of other factors that may have led up to this event. Furthermore, this only makes POC and BIPOC look racially stereotypical in the public eye, and that's something we DON'T want in today's bigoted climate.
