> she said “a lot of really awful racist things” [..] a link to a white supremacist video [..] his parents could not comprehend the reality of people being victimised because of their background, especially given his own [Jewish] family history. Tangential, but it is interesting, and typical, how not even a single specific thing the parents said is relayed to us. Only the son's broad characterization. Does he really believe his Jewish-with-family-killed-in-Holocaust parents are unable to comprehend prejudice? Or do they merely disagree on the extent to which prejudice is to blame? Reminds me of an article about estranged parents - how when they talked about their children, they never described the reasons their children gave for cutting them out of their lives: What was in the "prepared speech"? Why did her father expect her to move out at 18? The mother has two different sources of explanations at her fingertips, and she turns to neither. Nor does she repeat so much as a scrap of her daughter's allegations. - https://www.issendai.com/psychology/estrangement/missing-missing-reasons.html https://www.issendai.com/psychology/estrangement/missing-mis...
