This is great news- that colleague A communicates honestly with colleague B at the same institution. This means not everyone is scared silent. Glenn’s colleague has reason to express frustration at over-generalized identity discussions. Both Glenn and John rank highly in my mind with regard to cultural awareness and literacy. But an hour discussion is not enough time for either Glenn or John to state all relevant caveats and qualifiers.
Since January 2019, Equity has never typed the word “Jew”, nor “antisemitism”, “antisemetic” in a sentence at SF Gov. I retired in Nov 2021. Except - when Israel activated “Iron Dome” to repel Hamas rockets. Even though my Palestinian neighbors have blond hair and one with blue eyes, Equity says White vs. Brown for Israeli and Muslim, respectively.
When I reported the 2019 upstate New York machete/knife attack at rabbi’s house, plus criticism at Equity Director for “All Jews are White” mis-information, my manager threatened my job security. Two years later an Equity film at work (SF DPH) with wording “White Zionist globalized media”, and every director including HR ignored my complaint of antisemitism.
State Of California ethnic studies guidelines (CA is an Equity state), places the word “Jew” among a list of European immigrant ethnicities and nowhere else. “Holocaust” is mentioned-“The USA had a delayed response due to antisemitism”, only as weapon against the “evil White power structure of USA”.
Ordinarily, the Glenn-John discussion would not be the only place to hear talk about Jewish people. But, given what looks to me like a societal near-erasure of the word “Jew” in academic documents and discussions in recent years, your discussion captures more notice.
Glenn’s colleague complaining about “Jews” presented in race terms (Not White according to far-right, White according to far left) reminds me of “Latinos” who are defined by geography and not race. “Hispanic/Latino” no longer exists at US Census Bureau.
I live in California, where ethic communities are Northern China, Southern China, Vietnamese, Filipino, and other Asian. I am unfamiliar with Jewish history and culture on east coast. I read that Trump’s golf course on (Long Island or near?) was the first one in the county to not exclude Jews.
I don’t care who is or isn’t president or governor or mayor in 2024; the society-wide race propaganda needs to stop by the end of 2023. We 350 million can do this. Salvation Army petition leads by example.
