sometimes the ways conversion blogs discuss ethnically Jewish features is kinda uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

(gentiles don’t touch)

[realsadjewishhours]

Whoever made the original post in this line There were so mannnny better ways to make this point, seriously. Don’t perpetuate antisemitism to prove converts and ethnic Jews who don’t “look Jewish” can experience antisemitism.

But also, Please be careful with your response. Because it ignores ethnic Jewish converts and is worded a little anti-convertish

We really need to keep in mind the anti-convert sentiment in the community, the complete disadvantage converts are at and how this can contribute to it when making posts like this

[greenandhazy]

This is not at all worded in an anti-convert way. Those of us who have no Jewish ethnic background (or whose Jewish ancestors are many generations’ removed) need to be especially mindful about perpetuating antisemitism and when it’s as blatant and gross as the OP, we don’t need to be treated with kid gloves. If @surprisedentistry had said “this is why I don’t trust converts” or “converts blogs are always so bad at this,” that would be one thing, but she didn’t. Not all posts about antisemitism need to come with a paragraph of disclaimers in order to be valid.

[realsadjewishhours]

Okay you know what that’s valid. I retract my statement

I just didn’t want to throw non ethnic converts as an ethnic Jewish convert myself under the bus.

I apologize.

Yeah I saw this… the person who wrote that post lives in Poland and that’s probably an environment that got some wires crossed for them. Whether that makes it better or worse is gonna depend on how you look at it, but I think it’s relevant context in the sense of understanding that this definitely isn’t the norm for conversion students or conversion blogs.

[starlightomatic]

Okay I think I was giving them too much benefit of the doubt, because they’ve got some other pretty bad takes. On the one hand I do understand they’ve been raised in a certain environment and they have things to unlearn but on the other hand, conversion is a really big deal and they’ve said some pretty questionable things.

to highlight, in case you didn’t read that whole thing:

Look, I fully support the goal of rebuilding the Jewish community in Krakow. I think it’s wonderful and important that people are doing that. But the line about “your trauma” just really rubs me the wrong way. If you’re joining the Jewish people, it becomes your trauma too.
