[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Interestingly, Jews are more likely to be victims of violent hate crimes than Hispanics. They are less likely than Blacks, Muslims, or LGBT individuals. Sadly, LGBT individuals are the most likely to be victims of violent hate crimes. Blacks are 3rd, behind Muslims.[/quote]

I would be careful about over-interpreting that first piece. Hispanic residents of the United States do not have high levels of trust in law enforcement, and are substantially less likely to report hate crimes than other communities. So, we can say that Jews are more likely to report violent hate crimes than Hispanics, but we don't really have a lot of visibility on whether they are more likely to be victims. [/quote]

Again, minimizing.

NP, Jewish woman. Actually, by continuing to link and compare your (our) discrimination to blacks, you are minimizing their experience- as also evidenced by all these pages debating the classification of Jewish Americans. This one isn’t about you and it comes across as out of touch and self-centered to draw attention to yourself. My Muslim friend has never felt the need to ever try and compare his experiences with religious discrimination to blacks, and his skin color is darker. [/quote]

I agree as another Jewish woman (the one who called you embarrassing upthead). The fact that you have continued to dig in on a thread that has nothing to with Jewish people is just a bad look. I hate when my experiences as a Jewish person are minimized also, but this is not the time and place to be having the suffering Olympics with people of color, of which I will continue to strongly assert we are not.

I never tried to compare the experiences. I pushed back against the idea that we are equivalent to white Christians in our experience in this country, which was the strong implication of saying “you’re just white people.” That’s been my sole purpose. [/quote]
