Jews are a distinct group who are not (and I doubt they really see themselves as) White.
The Jews survive because they always as “is it good for the Jews?” unlike Whites who always ask “is it good for everyone else?”
Jews will viciously attack anyone who threatens (or even questions) their interests; Whites will invite hostile aliens into to their countries and hand over control.
Their high intelligence and intellectual aggressiveness allow them make best use of that ethnocentric outlook. That is why we have the American Israel Public Affairs Committee but not the American British Public Affairs Committee which would make much more sense given our historical, cultural, linguistic, and racial connections to Britain.
If Whites Westerners were to adopt the same attitudes we would not have many of the problems we do. It is interesting that Jews like Chuck Schumer for the Democrats and Sheldon Adelson for the Republicans push strongly for open borders for us but want to preserve the particular ethnic makeup of Israel.
These attitudes are why Jews survive and White nations are dying. We would do well to adopt these attitudes for ourselves.
If by White you mean Caucasian, Jews certainly are, at least if you limit the categories to the five in the article.
I don't really know how Jews think of themselves.
I've always found it interesting that Jews led the way in the fight against quotas that limited their enrollment in colleges. Then turned around just a few decades later and led (and still lead) the fight for quotas that limited the number of white people who could get into colleges. Which is of course what affirmative action is.
They have also insisted that "whites," including Jews, be classified as a single group. This results in Jews being allowed to be wildly over-represented at elite colleges, while other sub-groups of "whites" are wildly under-represented.
Ran across a loonnnggg article on how American elite colleges decide who will attend.
In effect, somewhat dim and over-worked admissions officers, generally possessing weak quantitative skills, have been tasked by their academic superiors and media monitors with the twin ideological goals of enrolling Jews and enrolling non-whites, with any major failures risking harsh charges of either “anti-Semitism” or “racism.” But by inescapable logic maximizing the number of Jews and non-whites implies minimizing the number of non-Jewish whites.
