As a member of one of those two groups, I hope no one will mind if I speak for both and say- stop treating us like foreigners in our own country. We're Americans. We're not responsible for Israel or Hamas.
What do you mean by saying:
[edit: I ask in order to understand the statement itself and its relevance to the article]
Just what I said. Palestinian-Americans are not Hamas and Jewish-Americans are not Israeli. And yet that's what we get treated as. Not Americans.
And some flavor of that has been happening our entire lives. We're always other-than-American in our own fucking country.
And Palestinian-Americans and Jewish-Americans have a whole hell of a lot more in common than with either Israelis or Palestinians. They can discuss things like the price of milk or the weather or the mayoral election or what Colbert said last night. And they can do it all in the English language they speak more often than Hebrew or Arabic if they even know Hebrew or Arabic.
And yet, you know what happens? "Oh, you're Jewish? You support genocide!" "Oh, you're Muslim? You support terrorism!" And then a physical assault sometimes follows. Sometimes an assault without warning.
All because we dare to be non-Christian (and sometimes non-White) in America.
Ok, thanks for the clarification. I see your point and I agree. It's more the land of white christians, than the land of the free
America, land of the free
Free to the power of the people in uniform
I think the Chinese and Russians are currently the main racism target in America no?
In the 80's it was the Vietnamese. Before that the Japs. Every new minority gets their turn of being racially discriminated against for a while.
No.
Well with the recent genocide I guess it's back to Arabs and Jews.
That said during the start of the Ukraine war I did notice a massive shift to racism against Russians.
A during covid the Chinese had their turn.
No, it's always been black people.
