I'm not ignoring the evidence. It's borderline institutional. I completely get your argument.
The point is that Israel is only 75% Jewish. Disliking Israel isn't equatable to disliking Jews. Disliking Iran isn't equatable to disliking Muslims.
Who cares if it is the only one? The point still stands.
Did you miss this one?
Schools that are promoting BDS or other kinds of anti-Zionist rhetoric … are three to eight times more likely to have incidents that target Jewish students for harm,” says Rossman-Benjamin. These have included assault, the suppression of speech, and destruction of property.
If it is not equitable to disliking Jews how do you explain the significantly greater incidents that target Jewish students?
Please explain. Thanks.
If a school is Pro BDS, they are going to attract pro BDS people, just as they will repel Jews. We both agree that while not equatable, being pro BDS makes one more likely to dislike Jews. Those that are dumb enough to assault a Jew because of their religion are probably dumb enough to choose their college based on political beliefs.
So then you agree that there is still institutional antisemitism that impacts Jews today. Thank you.
Now get me to the same place...where you see my POV if not 100% agree with it, with your institutional racism argument vs. African Americans.
I think we pretty much agree on the african american one...
- Overall white income is equal to black income with two parents
- Innocent black people are far more likely to go to jail than any other race
- Redlining was and is a thing
- Police are biased against black people as you have proven due to crime rates
I could go on. Skin color is a FACTOR. One of many factors, and not the most important factor, but a factor nonetheless.
No you said outward regulations or restrictions. African Americans commit more crimes so more innocent ones will be arrested. Redlining was a thing can you point to regulations that currently support redlining? Police officers are black too not just white. Bias is not the same as racism. College coaches have bias toward black athletes. They are not racist vs. whites.
African Americans commit more crimes so more innocent ones will be arrested.
That is proof that institutional racism exists. Just because a race commits more crimes doesn't mean that more innocents will be arrested. If institutional racism didn't exist, that number would be equal. Because skin color isn't a reason to prosecute. Proves my point that bias impacts judicial and police systems.
Redlining was a thing can you point to regulations that currently support redlining?
In the 1960's, there were blatant regulations. Black people haven't overcome that yet. There are still many examples of bias and racism impacting property decisions.
Police officers are black too not just white.
Yes. Everyone has bias. The vast majority are white and you will be biased against the opposite race. I should have clarified that I was generalizing.
Bias is not the same as racism.
Correct. Bias leads to institutional racism if not kept in check. Judge is biased against black people due to black people committing more crimes -> more likely to convict black people
College coaches have bias toward black athletes. They are not racist vs. whites.
Correct. If college coaches chose a black athlete over a white one of similar talent then that is 'institutional'.
