Blood quantum and the I/P conflict.

I've noticed an unhealthy amount of obsession on the internet regarding the blood quantum of Ashkenazi jews. In addition to delegitimization of ashkenazi jewish culture as being inauthentic. There are many studies backing up the fact that Ashkenazi jews are an intermediate population between Italians and Levantines, whose ancestry draws on these elements much more than eastern european ancestry. Speaking as one myself, it feels like a form of gaslighting as though Ashkenazi jews were historically perceived as white by European gentiles.
