But in the wonderfully mixed up way of these United States, the one that looks Jewish won’t work for a Jew, and the one that looks Irish is a proud kippah-wearing Jew.
Never the twain would have met, except that the Jew invited the anti-semite (a rising junior at Cornell) to apply for a job at his startup, and the anti-semite’s now hugely viral response was “Not interested in working for a Jew.”
************
The Jew – the hero of the piece – posted the lad’s anti-semitic turndown, but went to some trouble to erase his name: “He’s just a student, he might not know any better — it could be people in his environment, or on social media he saw something about Jewish people and he is just following the wave.”
The anti-semite’s name got out anyway, and … you can imagine. His life has become a lot more difficult than it was before he sussed out a Jew based (he explains) on his “physiognomy.”
And yet the Jew returns vileness with kindness: “At the end of the day, I hope he realizes that he shouldn’t have generalized like that. … You never know who you might work with, or work for, or be friends with that comes from a different background or different religion. I really don’t wish that he ends up not finding a job from it. I just hope he learns from it, and people can realize he changed and accept it.”
Cornell’s investigating the dude, etc. I guess it’s possible he could be expelled.
I’m with the long-suffering Jew – the student is 19 years old. Shaddup and give him a chance to change. He’s been called out enough.
In any case, his real problem ain’t with UD and her fellow Jews. He has I’m sure attracted the attention of the equally highly educated Richard Spencer and his gang. There’s a whole anti-semitic cadre in this country just waiting for bright young recruits to groom for frontline positions.
