[Jan_Sobieski]

Jewish people have helped build and lead this country from its inception. There has never been discrimination beyond the normal inter-group differences like that of English/Scotts/Irish/Jewish/German.

Just like a white suburban child who makes up a false narrative of growing up on the "streets" to be cool, you are pulling out a victim card that isn't there. Shame on you.

We are left with two options. You are either ignorant in the facts of the matter or worse.

It is not an issue anymore to any large extent, but it existed and was strong until about 50 years ago.

Does acknowledging these facts mean that I am claiming victim status? No, but in my parent’s generation, discrimination against Jews in America was a fact of life.

Just because it wasn’t as bad a situation as in Europe doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.
