Pretty great article. I wonder how common this man's experience is; specifically that his identity as a Jew is defined in some way by oppression. I was raised as a Jew in New York and hardly saw any overt antisemitism (the few times I did as a child I remember quite clearly), but unlike the author of this article I was always aware of it. I think for me my identity as a Jew was reinforced by the perception that there were people who would want to hurt me because I was Jewish, regardless of whether I identified myself as such.
- jabashapa 9y agoYouTube is proof of how rare anti Jew behavior is in the US. It happens but very rarely and always involves uneducated poor people. I dare someone to deny me service or try to lynch me. I will sue using the courts and physically defend my house and family through the glorious protection of the second amendment.
- nkozyra 9y ago> YouTube is proof of how rare anti Jew behavior is in the US Can you expound on this?
- frandroid 9y agoProbably from the comments on specific videos...
- spike021 9y agoIf you're only looking to Youtube to show the amount of anti-Semitism behavior that is in the US, then I think you need to open your eyes.
- whatyoucantsay 9y agoThe US certainly isn't teetering into anti-semitism to the degree Europe is, but YouTube is still full of vile comments, some "ironic" and others less so.
