People answer the question for themselves. Everyone can say he's White, the Census won't check it.

Depends on which type of Jew
European Jews are white but Arab Jews and Ethiopians aren’t

 

[Clark69]

where it was claimed elliot roger was a white

100% they said that to fit the "all mass shooters are white" agenda

if you polled 1000 ppl on the street on which race they think ER is, they would answer with HAPA/Asian and maybe some latino. none would say white

 

[homo_faber]

so there is no rule?

yea i think so to. i was article from a social scientist so mostly left wing. its crazy how they bend the truth

They're white-asian in the census but i know for a fact most of them are mad proud of being white so only put that when they get the census

 

[SkinjobCatastrophe]

You can put yourself down as whatever you want on the census but usually people who are half white half anything else will claim their non white race. Hapas usually put down theyre asian, mullatos put down theyre black. I think they only have like 5 categories though so if youre from saudi arabia or iran then theres no category for you, they usually just put down that theyre white

 

[WadlowMaxxing]

race is bent to social standards more than biological divisions in modern categorizations

so they can actually go away with claiming ellliot rodger thought he was entilted to get women simply because he was "white"

No. He can say that he's White in the Census, but he and all the women he met knew he had Asian roots.

 

[Matthias8272]

Idk I always listed myself as both white/polynesian growing up although now i would just do polynesian, i can understand however why some white washed half ethnics would think they're white

 

[TITUS]

Jews, mexicans, hapas, everyone is white, except when it's time for affirmative action, then they are "minorities".

 

[homo_faber]

No. He can say that he's White in the Census, but he and all the women he met knew he had Asian roots.

here they claim elliot rodger

1. was white
2. white supremacist

Incels, Compulsory Sexuality, and Fascist Masculinity

Incel, the now-widely circulated portmanteau for involuntary celibacy, denotes a growing community of mostly cisgender men who are unable to find sexual partners or forge romantic relationships. Organizing in online networks, these men blame their exile from sexual relations on everything from...

For the more violent and authoritarian-minded, such as Rodger, incel masculinity is consummated through fantasies of complete selfmastery of desire aided by the total subjugation of women and the enforcement of racial hierarchies. Here, we turn briefly to Rodger’s manifesto to illustrate how incels appropriate and weaponize asexuality as an instrument of white male entitlement. It is important to note that although Rodger’s ancestry is both Asian and white, he strongly identified as white and his manifesto is riddled with racism and antiBlackness. In his tedious recounting of every sexual rejection or unrequited desire he experience throughout his life, Rodger’s manifesto is a tortured and poisonous manifest of victimhood, racism, and violent misogyny. The manifesto exemplifies how the confluence of racism, whiteness, and compulsory sexuality helped constitute the masculine politics of the alt-right.

To this end, Rodger expressed an entitlement to sex that was grounded on his belief in the innate racial superiority of white males. In one particularly illustrative passage, he asserts: How could an inferior, ugly black boy be able to get a white girl and not me? I am beautiful, and I am half white myself. I am descended from British aristocracy. He is descended from slaves. I deserve it more. I tried not to believe his foul words, but they were already said, and it was hard to erase from my mind. If this is actually true, if this ugly black filth was able to have sex with a blonde white girl at the age of thirteen while I’ve had to suffer virginity all my life, then this just proves how ridiculous the female gender is. They would give themselves to this filthy scum, but they reject ME? The injustice! (Rodger 2014, 84).

Throughout his screed, Rodger took particular offense when he perceived that Black men and men of color were allowed to partake in privileges he has been denied. Here, Rodger invoked the trope of Black masculine hypersexuality that is the inheritance of anti-miscegenation and lynching discourses. Historically, the sexual violation of white womanhood—an icon of asexuality-as-ideal—has served as a rationale for the murder and violent subjugation of Black men (Owen 2014). This and similar passages in Rodger’s manifesto evince how asexuality is misappropriated in rhetorics of whiteness to control both Black men’s and white women’s sexuality. Although Rodger concluded that he wished to eradicate sexual desire altogether, such statements illustrate how whiteness is exempt from its own edicts on sexual morality. That is to say that asexuality is reserved only for those who threaten whiteness. Here, the figure of the enjoying other that is so central to fascist rhetoric surfaces as an illusory barrier to white supremacy and fulfillment. Compulsory sexuality, then, demands that barriers to white enjoyment be violently eradicated
