Sharply more Americans than 20 years ago say antisemitism is a very serious problem, as Jewish Americans' reports of poor treatment exceed those of other faith groups.
a person who I’m fairly certain was not a Jew themselves, actually declared me not Jewish because I live in the U.S. Which is just another form of antisemitism.
Antisemitism (or, more accurately, ‘Judeophobia’) is being bigoted against someone because they are Jewish. What that person said to you was not antisemitism, it was just stupid.
Overusing and misusing (sometimes intentionally- à la Israel) that accusation dilutes it’s severity and makes people more likely to handwave actual incidents of discrimination and bigotry, which is not good my Squid.
You certainly do not get to tell me what I consider to be a bigoted slur against me.
And don’t make it sound like I’ve never experienced worse. I’ve experienced far worse.
But yeah, sure, I own a home so that makes it all fine (I don’t own a home, my non-Jewish wife does).
Edit: By the way, trying to invalidate my experiences by only addressing one small issue in my post and acting like that means it’s all in my head is fucking rude.
You ok? You jumped straight into imagined victim mode. I never said or implied any of the things you’re defending yourself against, and I don’t believe they are true.
I read and generally like your comments, and I don’t think you think that your personal experience invalidates statistics. Are you stressed out or something?

I don’t think you understand what bigotry is.

No harm meant.
Thank you for proving my point.
And yet you think my experiences were imaginary.
