As part of its never ending crusade to sow division and hatred between Americans the NYT published a list of the 922 most powerful people in America and was upset that only 20% were minorities.
In that list non-whites are marked with yellow; the same color the Nazi's used to identify Jews.
Rep. Tlaib parents and Rep. Amash father grew up 20 miles apart and Amash's mother came from Syria. Yet Tlaib, a Muslim, is listed as non-white but Amash, a Christian, is listed as white.
It turns out that there are several more examples of people whose parents are from the Middle East, or even people who were born in the Middle East, being classified as white if they're Christians and non-white if they're Muslims.
The NYT counts people whose ancestors come from Spain and Portugal, like Devine Nunes, as non-white which would shock most Europeans.
