It never ceases to amaze me how scared some people are of admitting they're white.

Whiteness is totalizing, surely, but one of the keys to dismantling whiteness is to recognize the contours and diversity within it so *no one* fades to the back as whiteness allows.

We all have multiple identity markers. Yes, it is a privilege of white Jews to be able to pick Jewishness as their preferred one.

And G-d help us if the Jewish H*rper's L*tter, Chabad, and N*wZionists are the way forward...

And if there is *any* doubt about what all of this means, with references to "elite private schools, flagship public schools, and elite universities," it *DOES* mean, as @rweingarten has mentioned, that some Jews are more than happy to pull that ladder up after themselves.
