Disclaimer. I'm not trying to be controversial with this thread. There are just some things in life you find there is no clear answer to and so I'm posting this question here for discussion.
Context:
So I saw this suggested video appear on Youtube after waking up this morning, I figured it must be part of an interview that I briefly heard mentioned on the Howard Stern radio show this week regarding Bill Cosby.
As I finished the video in semi-fully agreement with Eddie I scrolled down to read the comments (as I usually do when it comes to watching Youtube videos), and I came across this comment:
I was met with many perplexities in my findings.
First was this sub-Reddit WhiteRights discussion board from someone asking a similar question.

Personally, I see Jews as White people, but I always see people commenting online in protest to this thinking saying that Jews aren't White. They look White to me.
And yes I know "race" is a considered an antiquated form of classification in social science, but this is a subject that we continue to have as a discussion in our society today so I find myself continuing to wonder about the many unknowns and perplexities that I encounter when I try to read-up on it. Your thoughts?

My immediate knee-jerk reaction was to fire back at him and say that it's a 'myth that Jews aren't White', but then I pondered before posting that and decided I better do a quick Google reSearch to understand this unknown for myself.Detoilet Michigan said:

I'll let you read the replies on that thread, it's not very long but there were some interesting and some odd viewpoints from several commenters, "deleted" (not to confuse with that thread's OP who's also "deleted") , "kbox" who was refuting "deleted"'s view points, and then SpearChuck who disregard that whole sub-Reddit board referenced this website which goes deep:some guy who deleted his reddit account said:
