They sound like the kind of people who would lose their minds over an Israeli Jew eating falafel despite over half of Israeli Jews being Mizrahi. To them, Jews are from nowhere and belong nowhere so a country that is mostly Jews can’t POSSIBLY have any REAL connection to food.

Or Israeli couscous was literally invented bc Ben-Gurion asked someone to invent it because of food shortages in the 1950s

It’s the same as people who say white people have no culture. While they speak English.

I mean there is no such thing as white culture, there are white people, but what unifies white people isn’t culture, it’s being part of the in group.

Like you recognize that English is spoken as a first language by plenty of non white people, right?

Yes they are speaking the cultural language of another group. Plenty of non Chinese speak the Chinese language too, but it’s still part of Chinese culture.

They are part of an in group because of shared culture. White refers to Europeans. Europeans have various cultures. Same as Jews. There is no one Jewish culture.
