If we're just talking about people claiming to be a race they are not, then I agree with you. But a legal immigrant can at least claim to have that nationality. If, say, a Mexican immigrated to America, I would prefer they say they're "proud to be American" rather than "proud to be Mexican", provided they actually integrate with American culture.
What we are seeing here is almost certainly "I'm white when criticizing, but when its beneficial I'm not I'm Jewish" in action.
You would be correct in a world where people weren't being duplicitous or subversive. But that's not where we are and this is absolutely filled with all the hallmark signs of "internal subversion and humiliation rituals."
That's a good point. I suppose I'm guilty of replying to this outside of its context. It's clearly disingenuous when they use the "I'm one of you" line as an excuse to promote their own agenda.
Well if they can't say they're proud to be a German or Swedish, what should they say instead then? "I'm proud to be an immigrant"?
I mean I get where you're coming from, protecting a nation's race and culture is important, and the West has really screwed up when it comes to immigration. I've known some ungrateful immigrants too and they are awful.
that doesnt accept anyone except full blood Japanese as being Japanese
They actually go further than that. Even full blooded Japanese born abroad (for example, in Brazil where they are a sizable minority) are not fully welcome.

I think the problem is, we know that isn't true.

Lol fair enough
