Just fix things going forward for all races, ethnicities and genders and mive along.

But it was the 50's, so the younger of that group is closer to 80. And being a child of one of them I can tell you they do care because they have faced a lifetime of discrimination and exclusion. I still encounter antisemitism from people who don't know I am 1/2 Jewish.

You experience it or observe it? If they don't know you are Jewish, you cannot experience antisemitism against you. The ability to pass means you do not experience the prejudice and in fact in some ways benefit from it, even if it might upset you to see antisemitism at work. It's still different from having it wielded against you.

It is people making disparaging remarks about Jews. To me that is experiencing antisemitism because it means I don't feel comfortable around these people or revealing my religious heritage. Call it what you want, but whatever the term it is unpleasant.

This is ludicrous semantic acrobatics. Believe me, any environment that makes it clear that you must conceal who you are in order to be safe is a draining, negative experience.

Signed, a gay person.

Schools are still limiting Asian sutdents today.

Apology to Asian Americans coming in 2090.

Some Jewish people will have to do some apologizing too, hopefully before then.

LOL I clicked to say exactly that. When is the apology to asians coming

For what? For not having 100% Asian population because they could if they just looked at stats?

Asians outperform most of other applicants on ECs, essays, LoRs, leadership skills, research awards etc. Asian do not excel only with gpas or SATs.

So sorry, Asians, you keep jumping through all the hoops the elite schools (all run by Democrats btw) hold up and still they despise and reject you. It's almost like prejudice is irrational or something.

I’m always puzzled when intelligent people cite this argument. The acculturation process for immigrants from most countries in Europe, excluding Jews, was extremely different from others. Like one generation versus generations of systemic barriers.

I'm not the pp you quoted, but your response reveals your ignorance of the Irish immigration experience. Please educate yourself before embarrassing yourself again.

People who are familiar with the issue know that some groups (including Irish and Italian immigrants) were seen as “not quite white” and faced particular challenges and ALSO that that’s nothing like either the legacy of chattel slavery in this country nor the vigorously enforced antisemitic policies pursued in this country until a few decades ago.

nor were the Irish denied citizenship because of the color of their skin.

Admitted at 3X their U.S. population.

Real rejection there.

Sadly, a lot of people have been discriminated against over the history of the US.

What has surprised me working in big tech in California and the DC area is that the racism I've observed most overtly has been between international groups from Asia.

I thought the conservative belief was you don’t have to apologize for anything.

Well into the 70s. https://www.nytimes.com/1976/09/13/archives/discrimination-remains-a-policy-and-a-practice-at-many-clubs.html

My current neighborhood didn't allow Jews and Blacks to buy houses for many years. While the covenants were eventually lifted, the neighborhood remained essentially segregated for years after that because it simony wasn't welcoming.
