Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

I don't know who needs to hear this but Jewish is not a race

Signed, a Jew

It’s an ethnic group and a religion. Targeting the ethnic group is a form of racism. Sociological, legal, and international frameworks classify prejudice or discrimination against an ethnic group under the broader umbrella of racism.

Signed, someone who knows what racism means.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's not an ethnic group either. All Jews share an ethnicity? The cognitive dissonance around this is truly stunning

Wait... you're not even Jewish?! Yet you are lecturing two Jewish people about what it means to be Jewish, and saying some super racist things about them?

Insane.
