        Jews can be white. Being jewish is a religion. His comment (or the one he supported) is targeted at that religious group. No statement of hatred towards a skin color, specifically. This is potentially antisemitic, perhaps bigotry, but not racist.

        Any other examples? Elon is a douche, but not every douche is a racist.

          Judaism is an ethnicity.

          Both Larry David and I are atheist Jews.

          But please, go on. Tell me how Larry David isn’t Jewish.

            You are both Jewish (as far as I know), but that isn’t your ethnicity.

            There are plenty of reasons to shit on your mortal enemy, Elon Musk, but you do not need to make up stuff against him. Call a spade a spade.

              It’s not our religion. We’re atheists. We have no religion. So if it isn’t our ethnicity, what is it?

                This is becoming a circular conversation. It’s your religion. Stating otherwise doesn’t change anything. Enjoy your week.

                  Fine. What god do I worship?

                  You have to love someone who would likely never dare tell a trans person their gender is wrong, but has no problem telling a Jew what their religion and ethnicity are as if they get to define it.

            dude honestly you may need a break from the computer. I don’t disagree with you but I remember reading your comments over damn near every thread on lemmy going back like 6 months ago. even though I don’t disagree with your overall points, you just seem to be angry at everyone and everything on lemmy all the time
