[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure what this point of view serves, except for Jewish people to be able to claim “racism” when faced with prejudice.  But it’s both wrong and not necessary.  You CAN be Jewish and any racial/ethnic group.  You can also fully make it argument that it’s wrong to be prejudiced against someone on the basis of religion/culture.  It’s not a contest.[/quote]

You’re an idiot. It’s not an opinion or a contest; it’s a FACT.

Judaism is a religion and an ethnicity.

You can be ethnically, but not religiously, Jewish. Or you can be religiously but not ethnically Jewish. Or you can be both.[/quote]

So Op, your entire argument is to childishly stomp your feet and repeatedly scream that your point of view is a FACT and call names.  Fact is, those of us who are racially a minority do not have the privilege you have of converting to Christianity or what have to in order to avoid discrimination, as many Jews have (unfortunately had to) do in the past.  We don’t have the freakin’ privilege of walking into work and deciding that we’re WASPs today or conveniently leaving our skin color and facial features off of job applications and mingling, to whatever extent it’s successful for those who can.  It’s insulting, and like I said, unnecessary.[/quote]

I never equated myself with African Americans or Hispanic or anyone else who can’t hide their identities.

But to say anti-semitism is a thing of the past is offensive and wrong. It’s not at the level of racism against black and brown people in this country, but it’s alive and well.[/quote]

Where did I say anti-semitism was a thing of the past?  It’s alive and well but also distinct from racism, and when you go around calling people names when they point out the reasons for that distinction, you are out of line.[/quote]
