    Well now you know why you shouldn’t make that assumption about Elon, so you’re going to admit that he might be antisemitic, right?

        What information do you have to assume that he believes Jews are white?

        Has he ever said that Jews are white?

        Has he ever even implied that Jews are white?

        Because the only evidence I’ve seen is him agreeing with someone who is saying that Jews aren’t white.

        So where’s your evidence? Go for it.

            Please read the article I provided for you. It has nothing to do with intelligence.

            There are many intelligent bigots out there. H. L. Mencken was a bigot who hated Jews. He was also a genius. Bobby Fischer was a bigot who hated Jews. He was also a genius.

            Just because you can’t fathom someone believing something doesn’t mean they don’t believe it.

            Let me know when you’ve read the article and then explain to me why someone has to be “dumb” to agree with the concept that Jews aren’t white.

                I’ll quote the relevant part for you because it’s what people like Elon believe:

                “When anti-Semites [talk about] Jews, they mean a racial category,” Gordon argues. “I think they’re looking at Jews the way an anti-black racist looks at a light-skinned black person.”
