You're the second person to ask, so now I'm feeling bad. You're on a server run by a good person.

I think my ask for you would when you see antisemitism, say something. Break the narrative without being a Jew.

That's not always easy to do, and I don't expect anyone to do it all of the time.

I'm reminded of a situation that happened about twenty years ago. I was at a gaming event and there were these two guys who I've come to learn (or at least speculate) were actually KKK members, and they talked to my friend and me- clearly looking to see if they had found some sympathizers.

They started talking about how "the Blacks took all the jobs" and how the "real minority in this country are white men". It was me and a white friend of mine.

At the time, I was pretty scared and I just made vaguely disapproving statements without getting specific. I was afraid they'd find out I was a Jew and hurt me.

Looking back, I wish I'd have said something and made a scene.

@serge Oh, no. I definitely was wondering if it would read critically and I didn’t mean that!

Thanks for answering and saying that. Black people have been asking for that kind of intervention for years and years and honestly Jewish people have been excellent allies to me everywhere I’ve been. Sometimes in moments it’s hard to get your bearing so I get it.
