"The majority of genetic findings to date concerning Ashkenazi Jews conclude that the male lines were founded by ancestors from the Middle East.
A study of haplotypes of the Y-chromosome, published in 2000, addressed the paternal origins of Ashkenazi Jews. Hammer et al. found that the Y-chromosome of Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews contained mutations that are also common among other Middle Eastern peoples, but uncommon in the autochthonous European population. This suggested that the male ancestors of the Ashkenazi Jews could be traced mostly to the Middle East. The proportion of male genetic admixture in Ashkenazi Jews amounts to less than 0.5% per generation over an estimated 80 generations, with "relatively minor contribution of European Y chromosomes to the Ashkenazim," and a total admixture estimate "very similar to Motulsky's average estimate of 12.5%." This supported the finding that "Diaspora Jews from Europe, Northwest Africa, and the Near East resemble each other more closely than they resemble their non-Jewish neighbors." "Past research found that 50–80 percent of DNA from the Ashkenazi Y chromosome, which is used to trace the male lineage, originated in the Near East," Richards said."

Yeah this basically confirm what i said.
I mean, Hitler wanted everyone to be blonde and blue eyed. I can't speak for anyone else, but the first person that comes to my mind when I hear holocaust is Anne Frank, and I picture her as a white person with "darker" facial features. I think a lot of people, like myself, think of it as mostly white people killing other white people, but there was undeniably a genetic element
reality is reality
IQ in itself is a sham
There’s no accurate quantitative measure of intelligence
Its both, you can be ethnically Jewish and you can follow Judaism. You can do both, one of them, or the other and still be Jewish.

I always felt that saying anti-antisemitism isn't racism is just semantics, like yeah you could be targeting the religion rather than the people it spawned, but really what's the difference between those two words at that point
The holocaust was a specific goal within fascism, an ideology forged in the aftermath of WWI as Allied powers continued to plunder the Germany economy until an ethno-nationalist project backed by heavy industry rose to power in those terrible conditions. They rose to power on the back of this idea of an internal enemy, but Ukraine had been doing pogroms as well and their genocidal nationalists were split on working with under Germany. Italy defined its fascism as corporate power, and Germany blueprinted privatization of the economy.
So if you're looking for something distinct about Nazis, it's not they hated and killed Jewish people. It's not that they forged a mythology of their nation for reactionaries to cling to which deemed others unworthy) That was happening all over Europe long before. The Holocaust was just their newly scientific and industrial attempt at it.
Fascism and racism aren't mutually exclusive. While he may have thought he was protecting Germany interest he was also targeting multiple groups of people based off of race and a few other things.
jews are not white. i didnt even know this was up for debate lmao
Jews can absolutely be white
Whoopi was just wrong. She shouldn't have been punished about that, especially after explaining her POV and her apology.

do you think it's possible for some groups of people to evolve higher intelligence?

That's a hypothetical question, the reality is that it hasn't.

Obviously any class project (heavy industry reclaiming the German economy for itself) has to market to its base with other branding. Not to say this is subconscious or disingenuous, but the Nazis targeted class enemies like socialists and communists and unionists right alongside the Jews and gypsies and other peoples who didn't fit their Darwinist rubric. They cobbled together all of that Holy Roman Empire stuff on the fly.
Defining the entire Nazi project by the Holocaust is just obfuscation. You wouldn't have seen any of that without the material devastation and trauma of WWI then its fallout as Allies plundered the economy. The racialist explanation is so narrow. Pogroms on Jews, bigotry against minorities, bigotry against the disabled- common place in that time and space- the scale and methodology were the only things different in Germany. They generated a wartime economy and fought the most modern war and endeavored in the most modern genocide, and like Vietnam, it was disgusting and devastating.

We have existed as a modern day species for 10,000 years. Any evolution of “higher intelligence” could not have possibly occurred in such a short time frame especially considering the lifespan of the normal human. We have gone through only 400 or so generations in that timespan, which is essentially a bullshit amount in the evolutionary scale
And it being possible does not mean it has happened, or that any sort of academic discrepancy between races is the product of evolution before the material conditions each race was subjected to
That's a hypothetical question, the reality is that it hasn't.
how would we know?
Like if we really want to entertain this concept, do you really think a race like black people or Latin Americans are really inherently less intelligent and not academically deprived due to a history of colonization and exploitation ?

why not? people evolved in other ways in that timeframe

No they have not, not outside of skin-deep phenotypical traits that adapt them to different natural environments
