I think gwowing up in Houston I was beat up by skins 5 times (one time real bad...like hospital bd) and I don't know how many times I was threatened anc called names. So, I can say for certain that Jews in the south are a bit marginalized.

I assume you are under 30, if you are older than that this statement is pretty irrelevant since we're not talking about what America was like decades ago.

If you asked the average jewish person when the last time they had a problem that they would not have encountered if they weren't jewish, aside from Christmas I don't think most could give you an answer. I'm sure 99% of black people could give you an answer very quickly.

i apologize for naming the thread as i did...that was probably not the best title.

i wasn't trying to stir a great debate...this guy just bugged the [censored] out of me and i thought he belonged in OOT in some form or another.

where do you live? East or West coast? And are you Jewish? Trust me, as visible as Jews are there is still a [censored] load of anti-semitism out there.

Yea, but it doesn't make you "marginalized". That's o.k. Keep that chip on your shoulder. It's not worth my trouble to knock it off.

im white, when i used to walk to my friends house in harlem i nearly got beat up a ton of times, often it was just a case of me straight sprinting to a big intersection where there would be cops, but thats totally different than discrimination.
