This is the third time you post this though. For the same reason that Faukahauntis claims to hunt buffalo. It benefits them, they get to play the victim card. Sometimes that'll help them win, and sometimes, in the opinion of Daniel Greenfield, it's insurance against a loss, they can claim it's not their fault, it's America's fault for "not being ready" i.e. hating whatever group they pretend to be part of this week. We do it too. There are white Jews and brown Jews and even a few Asian Jews, but anyone calls any Jew on facebook white and everyone says no, no, we're not white. We're not Esavim, but like the color of your skin is obvious there, but white people don't have victim status and we think we can shield ourselves from leftist criticism with victim status, which of course is shooting yourself in the foot.
Two things are for sure, AOC won't call herself colored to a Spanish boyfriend's mother, the culture hates black people and she'll like other Spaniards I've known, demand he leave the "negrita". Rasida Talib won't call herself a woman of color in the Middle East, if someone gave her permission to talk in the first place, because she'd be treated like a dog instead of having legal rights to treat all others like dogs.
AOC is a little rich girl from a little rich neighborhood who claims she had to take the subway in school and it passed through Brooklyn, which wasn't even true, but even if it was she plays her fake working class card to the last fibers, because working class people are more victim than rich girls. We then fall into it and call her the bartender, very clever way for the left to get us to rip a section of the right wing constituent away.
