    Holy shit, really? I’m from Brooklyn where everyone I know growing up was Catholic (or black or Jewish) and there was tons of antisemitism. Like literally cognitive dissonance and 10 yrs old friends being like “but wait, half my friends are Jews and they’re fine…” Where/when was this?

      Southwest Ohio like 10-20 years ago. It might have something to do with the fact that it’s a pretty German and Italian area. Or that just made my experience significantly more anomalous. It definitely wasn’t a woke area by any means just that the bigotry wasn’t directed at Jewish people from what I saw.
