Instead of screaming anti-semitism and just generally being offended, the author of this article should ask himself if there is anything that American Jews are doing that might hurt Asian Americans. Jews are notoriously Democratic and pro affirmitave action. For every black admitted to college who hasn’t earned his placement by grades or test score, there is one Asian who is denied admission who has earned a place. I think that white liberal Jews should expect a little blowback if they are going to promote a policy that is unfair to Asian Americans.

While, as a conservative Catholic, I accept in their entirety our late Holy Father John Paul II's teachings that we should rightly love the Jewish people unconditionally, I'd agree with you to the extent that it's fair & legitimate criticism of secular Jews to say they disingenuously & hypocritically use false charges of anti-Semitism to evade accountability for their self-evident racism, routine nepotism & generally pro-communist sympathies.

Surely, when we regularly see secular Jews (e.g. radical feminists) acting as apologists for Islamofascists, there's something awfully wrong with that picture - on multiple levels! - & political correctness, much less unconditional love, shouldn't preclude pointing it out?

Oh, please. If anyone has given grief to immigrant Koreans it’s been the inner city black community who vilified Korean produce stores in such great numbers during the 70s & 80s. If they weren’t working up really vicious boycott campaigns against them, they were complaining about “inflated” prices of vegetables (because the prices changed day by day), or carrying on because Koreans don’t put change in the palm of a stranger’s hand (they slap it down on the counter). Believe me, Jews were not causing Koreans trouble in NYC!

Jews are notoriously Democratic and pro affirmitave action.

I just dont think this is completely accurate. Jews are notoriously Democratic, but oddly enough, they are not notoriously pro affirmative action. The data show that Jews are only lukewarm towards it, and there has reportedly been considerable tension between black and Jewish organizations over the perception that the latter are not supportive enough of AA.

A number of Jews have been the movers and shakers behind legal challenges to AA: for example, Alan Bakke and Carl Cohen. Bakke was the medical student who brought the first case challenging his rejection by UC in order to accommodate a far less qualified black applicant (who not incidentally went on to eventually kill a patient and lose his license). Cohen is a U Mich professor and former ACLU official who has been fighting AA for years.

Jews tend to have a very deep respect for merit and accomplishment, and I think this explains why a lot of Jews bristle at AA despite their otherwise liberal sentiments. Of course this is just one of many reasons why such Jews should say goodbye to the Democrat Party. I'm still working on it.

Wrong. Jews are not notoriously pro affirmative action, furthermore, have done nothing to harm the Korean community. And as a conservative, I don’t have to take anyone’s “blowback” for liberal policies.

Hmmm..."sportutegirl"...sport "ute" girl. I get it. That's Oxford (British) English slang for "utility," referring to small trucks. ...poor Nazi Europhiles, identifying with "Asians" in order to spew propaganda against Jews in general. IMO, Jewish people and patriotic Americans (whose relatives rightfully killed Huns and Nazis in the wars) shouldn't be putting up with that garbage from anti-American subscribers to Free Republic or any other site.

Now suppose you discovered that Jews- if majority group opinion is in issue- are very much against affirmative action.

Fact, it is that issue that caused many years of Jewish/Black political congeniality to be torn apart.

So where is the Asian blowback against the Christian liberals?

Does the mere fact that it’s a Jew being liberal grant the Asian a free pass... or make it understandable?
