Not sure if I’m understanding “yiddishism” correctly here, but internet anti-Semites do mock kvetching all the time.

- notyourday 5y agoYes, since internet anti-Semites mock kvetching anyone using yiddish words in a comment on a post about yiddish institution is an anti-Semite engaging in hate speech. https://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/collections/oral-histories/excerpts/woh-ex-0002174/yiddishism-and-multifaceted-jewish-identity https://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/collections/oral-histories...

- weimerica 5y agoI'm not sure your point? Absent the original commenter (you) providing context, that makes for reasonable supposition. Automated systems learn from a corpus that includes internet anti-Semites using Yiddishisms in a mocking manner to insult and inflame leads to false-positives on real-world, genuine uses. Similarly, how does one fish out the context and gauge just how appropriate (according to HN, never) a use of "n----r" and all its variants? Consider whether one should tell Joe Schmoe Black American he cannot use the word all to prevent Joe Schmoe White American from having a chance at using it to incite. It's a hard problem with many a false-positive to be had in ways that will befuddle, outrage, and amuse.
