    This has all the hallmarks of racial profiling, and even if it's not, and it really is random (unlikely) then whatever they've put him through sounds awful and not like something someone should have to go through.

    I sort of doubt this is antisemitism based on him not saying anything about that, but... I'll call it Maybe Antisemitism

  4. I am not a representative of #Babka but I would like to see Jews of Color and allies feel welcome and participate in the space. I’m going to have to read this piece a couple more times, but in the meantime can anyone point me to recent explorations of this, or ideally (though perhaps difficult) a list of ‘best practices’?
