I think you'd be better to leave race out of it.

I think you'd be better to leave race out of it.
- 78666cdc 11y agoI don't see what you could be referring to with the "race" comment besides "Jewish". Judaism is not a race. Why do you say that it's better to leave race out of it when nobody has mentioned race?
- simonh 11y agoBernie has described himself as a "secular Jew who does not practice any religion". So if he doesn't practice any form of Judaism, to what extent can you say that his Jewishness is not racial? What else is it?
- k-mcgrady 11y agoCultural. I'm not a practicing Catholic but I still enjoy some of the cultural aspects of celebrations like Christmas and Easter.
- unlinker 11y agoRace of whom? Cruz, Trump, Bernie and Hillary are all caucasian. What am I missing?
- aidos 11y agoMy parent implied there was something "worse" about a "Jewish socialist" - ie because of his birth parents, in part, Bernie Sanders is a worse candidate. Maybe it's an honest question but I suspect you're simply choosing to be pedantic with the definitions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism is peppered with references to the persecution of the Jews, so evidently others would file it under racism. Either way, my parent's comment was out of line.
