“As someone with obvious Jewish features, I've had to hear people at CMU make Holocaust 'jokes' so many times I honestly can't put a number on it.
There are no jokes when it comes to genocide. Especially after the Tree of Life shooting and the swastikas-in-the-book incident (the university didn't really do much for us after those instances, but that's another issue), you can't do that.
I've also seen people claim that Anti-Semitism isn't racism. But it is. It's not institutionalized the way racism against Black and African-American people is, but it is real, it is racism, and it too must be fought against and stopped.”
