I come from a Communist country and emigrated when I was young. The life-blood of Marxism is resentment toward the accomplished. In other words, if you can't bring everybody up, then bring everybody down, and down is where you get the great proletariat of sameness.
When I first started to hear about equity, hate crimes, and the rest of that salad, I sensed that at some point soon, there would be huge waves of anti-Semitism.
Jews are arguably among the very most, if not the most, maligned group in history. And today, in the United States, the greatest social capital is that of victim-status...which allows for the explaining away of personal and group failure.
Yet Jews, this maligned group, like so many Asians, totally defy this equation. I think this goes a very long way in explaining the intensity of Jew-hatred you see today, especially on campus, but not just there.
In other words, Jews are victims nonpareil who are also success stories nonpareil. The ultimate blasphemy in the new dispensation.
