Jews are not widely seen as a race, but racists still hate us. Anyone who knows anything about the KKK or Charleston knows that--and knows that antisemitism has been largely left out of that conversation, and ignored by both Black people and white people.
Just because "Jew" is not a box we can check on a form doesn't mean it's not a well-developed racial identity.
I think a lot of this article is attributing Goldberg's comments to benevolent ignorance, but then doubling down on that ignorance and basically normalizing it.
If I wrote a similar article about Black people, imagine the responses.
Should I be more generous? I doubt it.
