    My Dad looked white and was interviewed for a Masters program they just kept repeating his obvious Jewish name.denied. When my father in law applied to medical school at one interview they told him the Jewish spot was already filled. When I applied for a job I was told that I’m not from ‘this community’ even though I lived there.
    There’s a lot of racism. It’s not just applied to 1/8 the population.

    What's missing from that pic are the six guys of color who are still finishing up the job.

    If you’ve been working in journalism for more than 20 years you got there because of privilege

    Wait, "not from this community"? What racial distinction is being drawn there? Not denying it, just can't see it from just that comment.

    As for the Jewish discrimination, not saying that's not true or never happened.

    Where do you get the 1/8? I never said only 1/8 have suffered from it. Look throughout my posts, all I ask is for people to be colorblind.

    You could try not being a fool. That would be kind of a win-win.

    If a moderator asks me to stop, I will stop.

    I mean, doesn't self-respect have to kick in at some point?

    Do you shit your pants at work and tell co-workers "If the managers tell me to stop, I'll stop"?
