Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. denied allegations of racism and anti-Semitism Saturday after he reportedly suggested Covid-19 could have been genetically engineered to reduce risks to Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people.
Racist tries to explain why they’re not racist by doubling down on racism
Bigoted, unless you think Judaism is a race of people.
Edit: Race, ethnicity, heritage and immigration among U.S. Jews
Oh, so the artist Drake is the same race as Bernie Sanders. Interesting conclusion. Do you think they see themselves as the same race?
As a Jew, I’d go with “bigoted” over “racist” to describe antisemites.
That being said, white supremacists see Jews like me as a different “race.” Despite my very white skin and Polish/Russian ancestry, a white supremacist wouldn’t say that my race is white/Caucasian. Instead, they’d say that my race is “Jewish.” So an antisemite could, in a way, be employing racism against Jews by their own definitions.
Well yes, deniability is the whole point of a dog-whistle.
RFK Jr. Denies comments on ‘ethnically targeted’ COVID-19 were anti-Semitic.
Lol k, I’m sure he does.
Uh… how were they not?
A famous conspiracy theorist finally said something anti-Semitic, this is not at all surprising. Unfortunately it probably doesn’t bother anyone who already supports him.
