Racial profiling

RE: Making Supreme Court reflect today’s Canada
The announcement that Mahmud Jamal was being nominated for the Supreme Court of Canada sent progressive media into a frenzy of racial profiling. Jamal is allegedly the first Person of Colour to be appointed to the Supreme Court.
He will be replacing Rosalie Abella on the bench, and retired Justice Marshall Rothstein was quoted in the editorial enthusiastically supporting the nomination. Both Abella and Rothstein are Jewish, so if Jamal is the first person of colour, then Abella and Rothstein are not persons of color despite being Semites. Does that make Semites Caucasian? And if Semites are “white,” does that make Arabs white also? And what about the Aryans of Iran?
If we’re going to celebrate race, and profile by race, then let’s make sure of our facts. By Big Canadian Media’s present reckoning (subject to change, and doubtless taking their cue from a press release of the Liberal government of Justin Trudeau), Semites are Caucasian, and their appointment to the Supreme Court didn’t constitute the appointment of persons of colour, or, in the case of Rosalie Abella, a woman of colour, to the bench. And I guess that makes Jews capable of white supremacism and all the other crimes whites are guilty of.
Glad that’s now clear.
