If we don't debate the tropes and Us vs. Them nature, the cognitive bias and prejudices of our own making, but exclude through blocking, assimilating, annihilating, raping, enslaving ANY HUMAN are we ever truly capable of inclusion and diversity?

YES! This. Because physical appearance and olive skin define identity as deemed as such by others. Pero si hablo Ladino, que soy?

This is not a person to person human argument beyond the mistruths taught about all people, or specifically, NOT TAUGHT. On purpose.
The upset of the use of Jew is not understood? Go look up the definition. Does it define Jew? And if so, to whom. I went and read the argument I'm attempting to learn. I got blocked why? What defines me as a Jew? A woman? An antizionist, a "Self hating Jew" We're not taught why.

I can pass as what you want me to pass as if I just shut my mouth, act ladylike and don't engage in debate or study texts deemed unfit for women as they are not human? I gave and give my life to discuss, passionately, why racism is so terrible and exclusionary because humanity is
I'm debating. Discourse. It's not argument. I gave a reference, I read the one given, I get blocked. That is exclusion. What did anyone learn or expand from that beyond more anger. WE are not taught truth. It's not a personal attack on anyone, but one on historical assimilation.

"Ignorance. yes, I have no idea why you're upset and trying to drag other things into some wild dispute, and the solution is for us to not be able to view one another's posts. Bye." And I'm blocked for passionate discourse. THAT IS EXCLUSION!

There is nothing more exclusionary than defining another human through sense perception or 230,000 or so years of human migratory patterns, forensic anthropology, belief, practice, or what we deem visual other than the terrible racial separatism determined by separatists.

Because no one is taught truth, it's ignorance not of fault of individuals but intentional (often) assimilation.
But a Jew is always a Jew. Nationalist, zionist, white, from Israel, religious, and suffered in eastern europe? That's pretty damned exclusionary to me.
I’d rather choose as my community the people who have been targeted in this way than those who demand the prerogative to perpetuate the usage.
Plus — it costs be absolutely nothing. Nowt.

There aren't any black Jews then? Or Iranian ones, or Sephardim, Mizrahi because we're all the same in every thought, origin, language, deed, cultural reference?
Why don't we just all stop talking altogether, and abolish writing.
