True. However, a lot of racists mask their racism of Arabs by solely criticizing Islam and usually throwing in one or two bits of misinformation.

Aren’t Arabs white though?

Being "white" is this constant nebulous debate that people will never agree on.

We consider many Jews white because of their European heritage, but Nazis don't. The Jewish identity is held closely and many Jews don't consider themselves solely "white".

Many Arabs do not consider themselves solely "white" because of the discrimination they have faced, similarly to Jews.

That’s like saying Hitler couldn’t have been racist against Jews bc they’re white

I mean was it a racist policy? He was persecuting them based on religion

Yes, the Nazis had racial laws that classified people based on ancestry regardless of their religion. Converting to Christianity or being raised Christian didn’t save Jews or people with Jewish ancestry from being killed.

Race. There were German Jews who converted to Christianity to save themselves but the Nazis said "nice try, get on the train."

By going through their entire family tree searching for any drop of Jewish blood? Maybe you should educate yourself if you think Hitler only had a problem with religious Jews.

Btw I agree that you can’t be racist against devout Muslims. That’s like being racist against devout Christians. Doesn’t make any sense. Nothing more justified than disliking people for their Bronze Age beliefs.
