Rashida Tlaib is White.
I remember when George Zimmerman was accused of being a "White Hispanic".
Why isn't Rashida what she obviously appears to be.....a White Palestinian?
Most Palestinians come from the same region as Jews. Why do they get to be brown or even colored just because they're Muslims?

Tlaib isn't 'of color'
By Frank Friday
Racist. As the definition goes, that's what they call somebody who wins an argument with a liberal. Sounds like a lot of liberals are losing the argument to President Trump this last week, as the media and the Democrats have rocked the heavens with cries of "racist," for Trump suggesting that certain far-left congresswomen might be happier in another country.
Perhaps we can be more optimistic about another guy screaming the loudest about racist Trump: Rep. Elijah Cummings, whose wife's charity received millions in a pay-to-play scheme. Baltimore Democrats are not only corrupt, but so sloppy that they often leave the feds no choice but to prosecute.
Anyway, it strikes me as odd that no one has yet pointed out the most glaring fact about the Squad of Four "women of color" running amok in the Congress: one of them is obviously a white woman. This rather makes calling their critics racist even more absurd. Rashida Tlaib was born in Detroit of Palestinian Arab ancestry. Arabs from the Near East are white, and always have been, as far as the U.S. Census Bureau and American society at large are concerned.
In the supercharged race-hustle of today's left-wing politics, though, everyone wants super-victim racial status. Not many American politicos are actually full descendants of black American slaves, so we have a lot of them scrambling to fit under the title "brown" or "of color." So far, none of the many white ethnic groups of the Near East — Greek, Jew, Arab, Turk, Kurd, Armenian, etc. — has been able to achieve this transformation and make it stick. But left-wing Arabs and Persians are fighting to make it so, and Tlaib takes every opportunity to tell Speaker Pelosi that she and her gal pals are all women of color. (Never mind that ethnic groups from the Near East are relative newcomers to America and have no history of mistreatment in this country.)
You know this has got to be killing Dems like Pelosi and her allies, who would love to play the "of color" trope themselves — ancestry South Italy or Jewish — but would get clobbered worse than Rachel Dolezal if they actually crossed that line. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/07/tlaib_isnt_of_color.html
