Anti-semitism is more complicated than religious bigotry, it's also rooted in a lot of ethnic and racial history. It's possible to be an atheist Jew, and anti-semites will still hate you.

But I remember the fella who told me. Big lad. Arms as thick as oak trees, a stunning collection of scars, nice eye patch. A REAL therapist he was. Er wait. Maybe it was rapist?

Are you loving stupid? I didnt say being a bigot was a good thing. If you discriminiate someone based on the colour of their skin thats racism, if you discriminate them for any other arbitrary reason its bigotry. Both equally bad but not the same loving thing. Racism is a specific form of bigotry, goddamn

Also serious question what's this about separating "racist" and "anti-semitic", isn't someone "with anti-semitic views" er, a racist?

I just saw a Yahoo article that mentioned "Trump invites far right speakers to Mar-A-Lago, some of whom espouse anti-semitic views". You mean racists, right, Yahoo

"The Jewish people" is an ethnic concept. It's not just a religion.

It must be very confusing for people to hear the Nazis killed 6 mllion Jews because they were "racist", surely they were just picking on them because of their religion? Why didn't they just all convert??



also you "discriminate against" someone, you don't "discriminate" them

Racism is generally also used to describe hatred and/or discrimination based on ethnic group, so anti-Semitism and anti-Latino bigotry are generally grouped under the racism umbrella.

Additionally, some skin color based bigotry isn't racism, but colorism when it's primarily internal to an ethnic/racial group. Black Americans struggle with it, and much of Asia has been catching flak for skin lightening products being peddled everywhere.

I'm still lollin that he finally managed to find someone perfectly awful, but somewhat professional, to take over as CEO, and announced that they would only be a fall guy and he still intended to run everything, and the blue checks are still losing their poo poo because she failed the impurity test.

Elon picked Linda Yaccarino to be CEO. She's an ad exec at NBC. She was also a chair of the WEF, the world economic forum.

Racists hate the WEF because "jews" and also Elon was trashing them earlier this year when he wasn't invited to their meeting.

Yaccarino is right wing, follows a bunch of trash people on twitter, and is an elon fan. Should have been a good match but twitter has already turned on her.

(she also had to quit her current job early because elon couldn't shut up on twitter)
