I still remember my first brush with antisemitism in NYC. Coworker and I were filling out reports at a hospital and some Hasidic Jews walked by in a group. After they were past she looked at me and said, "I don't want you to think I'm an antisemite, but I hate those guys. loving inbreds."

I was 23 and new at the job so I just shrugged. These days I probably would've done things differently. Still surprised me that anyone living in NYC had time or space for racism, but people are idiots everywhere.

people don't like the hasids because they're incredibly terrible to their women and renowned slumlords

Yes, that's clearly what the person in the story was referring to when she called them inbred. :rolleyes:

"Actually, some of the minority really is bad!" is a hell of a defense for racism, I'll give you that.

you're right it's absolutely not a good thing, and is frequently used to excuse wider antisemitism

but it's a common sentiment there even among the jewish community, particularly by the more liberal and secular portions like my family in brooklyn who tend to see them as an ultraconservative cult

I'm well aware of the various issues with the Hasidic community, I read the A/T thread from that one goonette who escaped from them and it was a hell of a read.

I'm just saying when you hear about someone calling a minority a bunch of inbred fucks, maybe that isn't the best time to pipe up with "Well, they are pretty terrible." Maybe you just go "Wow, that was some blatant racism!"

conflating antisemitism with the hasidim is p offensive to most jews in nyc

So you're saying that this woman was actually super woke to the problems with the Hasidic community and chose to express that by calling them inbred?

An interesting, but unlikely theory.

no, i was clarifying why people who live there tend to be unsympathetic to them

you're just trying to read too much into this so that you can be outraged on an ethnic group's behalf

democracy was a mistake

Yes it was. Good thing we don't have that in America.

"Democracy" literally means "majority rules" and that will always mean making GBS threads on minorities and the vulnerable.

gently caress people who say poo poo like "abolish the senate" or "get rid of the electoral college". As soon as we do that and the chuds can use it against minorities and progressives they will genocide us all.

My brother minored in polisci and from what I could tell it's just a lot of horse race study.

International Relations is polisci, and I took an introductory course on it since it related to my History major. The international stuff was informative because it dealt with a lot of international law, and why it's so easy for some countries to just regularly ignore it.

my father in law was a poli sci prof whose whole deal was international relations as it pertains to wartime presidents

tho he also liked to cover stuff pertaining to how the government interacts with the public, which brings me to the end of what my dumb rear end knows about that field academically

toward the end of his career he was dealing a lot with china through doing a program where they sent students over to learn american political mechanics and whatnot. they all loooooooved house of cards
