“In the diamond industry, a handshake accompanied by the words mazel u'broche creates a binding agreement”

“Arbitrators explain that they decide complex cases on the basis of trade custom and usage, a little common sense, some Jewish law, and, last, common-law legal principles”

“The Diamond Dealers Club still functions like an old-fashioned mutual-aid society. It provides kosher restaurants for its members...There is a synagogue on
the premises, and contributions to a benevolent fund are required”

“The parallels between Jewish law and the modern organization of the diamond industry are striking. For example, under Jewish law, a Jew is forbidden to voluntarily go into the courts of non-Jews to resolve commercial disputes with another Jew”

The idea that there is a commonality among different racial/ethnic groups based on "shared" oppression is specious

Some Japanese Americans participated in blackface minstrel shows during internment and Native American tribes still owned Black slaves on the Trail of Tears twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Contrary to the popular belief of finding solidarity with Black Americans because of oppression, many groups instead reaffirmed the idea that they were superior to Black Americans

Many Native American tribes still discriminate against Black tribal members

The paradigm of group consciousness and solidarity is based on the history and struggles of Black Americans and there is a ton of research showing that other groups classified as "minorities" do not automatically share any commonality with Black Americans

"[White] Cuban migrants received unprecedented support as an immigrant group with one billion dollars funneled into flights, job training, recertification, resettlement, housing, and small business loans"

"they also helped to ensure Miami continued to be an anti-Black city" 🧵

"The federal funds and resources that were channeled into building the Cuban economic enclave allowed for immigrant success, but these resources were also attached to whiteness"

"The terms “Latino” and “Hispanic” in the city of Miami...have become synonymous with whiteness"

"Our research shows that, most often, white Cubans were the ones that kept Black Cubans outside of the enclave, preserving it as a white space"

"in areas where non-Latino whites owned and rented. They found less racism in these areas and did not have trouble purchasing a home"
