I'm not getting how the Petco answer is racist.

Unhelpful off the wall answer, maybe, but ~racist?~

Am I missing something?

I am with you...I am confused concerning the Petco comment, and wonder what the original poster meant by it...that is what I would like to know...

Only about 5000 years worth of cultural conditioning derived from nearly constant persecution.

Hildy should be allowed a little slack, even if we assume the comment to be innocuous. Her people have even recently been through a lot.

yes, you are missing something. In my original post I told how there was no place in my town that sold Hannukah items. The poster "suggested" I go to Petco...an ANIMAL STORE.
