I should probably clarify my use of the term 'white.' I don't use it as a biological marker, more as a cultural 'identifier.'
Lenny Bruce laid it out best, I think, although he used the terms 'jewish' and 'goyish.'
I'm paraphrasing Lenny from memory here, but hopefully I communicate his core meaning.
"Basically, you're jewish if you dig jazz and are left of center. All negroes are jews. Irishmen who have lost their religion are jews. Ray Charles is jewish. Van Cliburne is goyish (even though he's a jew). Martin Luther King Jr. is jewish. Arabs are jews. 'Israelis' are goys, especially those in the Israeli army. If you live in New York City, you're jewish. If you live in Butte, Montana, you're going to be goyish even if you're jewish."
So, to my way of thinking, the crowd at a MMW gig may contain many pale-complected people. but they're not
white
people.
You dig?
