I have a friend (also Jewish) whose grand or great-grandparents fled Eastern Europe; his family ended up in Peru for a couple of generations and now reside in the US. They are Latino, by any estimation. They speak fluent Spanish and know the culture and the food. They're Peruvian through and through. If Meemaw's parents grew up in??? I can't remember what South American country she said they were from, sorry, but if they did, then they're Latino—just as anyone who grows up here is American.Oh no, she did. But more so she allowed her battalion of white lady saviors do it for her, and still does. She never shut that shit down, but rather enjoyed it, fatly.
I think it was the "I am a Latina Jew Woman of Color" that was a bridge too far for many.
Twenty percent of Jews are actually people of color, anywhere from brown to deep black. Even Asian! But DC isn't one of them. She's a Jew of Eastern European extraction, and that's fine! All those colors carry genes distinct to Jewish ethnicity.
Though... woman of color... Meemaw. Madam. lol. Unless that color is fluorescent. lol. Good god.
