[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in KCMO. I am white, but I did in truth live in a diverse  inner city neighborhood with a high crime rate.

Life for suburban white Jewish women in suburban Kansas City in the 1980s wasn't exactly easy. Jewish people were barred from country clubs. In 1990 Tom Watson famously resigned from the Kansas City Country Club over its refusal to admit billionaire H&R Block founder Henry Bloch. We didn't have our first Jewish mayor, Mayor Richard Berkley, until the 1979. He was a Republican.

Jessica Krug could have had an academic career in her field of study without claiming to be black. [/quote]

On the one hand, I definitely agree. Everyone knows there’s rampant anti-Semitism in this country and it’s not really going anywhere. We take one step forward and two steps back when it comes to prejudice against Jews. [b]On the other hand, academia is horrendous when it comes to left wing anti-Semitism. It’s honestly awful. It’s probably easier to be a fake Black Puerto Rican child of addicts from the ‘hood then it is to be a Jewish scholar in academia. [/b][/quote]

Uh no, you’re wrong. You really think Jewish people are discriminated against in academia? Lol
Some of the most disgusting anti-Asian - and particularly anti-Chinese - sentiments I’ve heard have come from Jewish-American professors. [/quote]
