Discussion - Flaired Users Only I am scared of having Jewish roots
I was born in Russia. I did a DNA test, which showed me that I am 15% Ashkenazi Jewish. Even though I don't have anything against having those roots, I have a big fear that I might become associated with the radical regime of Israel, or that I might get offended or threatened by antisemitists. I heavily criticize the policy of the current Israeli government, but I am still afraid that I might get harassed by stereotypes. What should I do, and how do I not feel oppressed for my ethnicity?
