don’t forget the red state genius idea of “why pay janitors when we can make the kids clean up each others’ puke? then they’ll think it’s great when they start getting paid $7/hr for manual labor at 14”

every time you wash your hands, you murder billions of innocent tiny organism who are just tryna live life

no, but seeing how I worked at one as a dishwasher making 19/hr when minimum wage was 5.75/hr, I’d say they’re one percenter shit by this point

what, you don’t want to spend your whole day sitting motionless and drooling in a wheelchair parked in some out-of-the-way corner of the nursing home? because everyone knows that people need to stay alive for as long as humanly possible

what the hap is fuckening

no i don’t know how to do that on a phone

isn’t it pretty much what amazon’s been doing since the beginning? the difference being there’s no “app” like camel yet to track prices over time at a single store

but yea, still another reason not to go to walmart. how do they mitigate the problem of something being $X when you put it in your cart, and the price being X+whatever by the time you get through the 2 mile long line at one of the 2 open registers?

meanwhile, trump who will claim he’s “most qualified” for the job, REFUSES to let his college transcripts go public. i’m going to go out on a limb (except, not) and say he cheated his way through college, as with everything else, OR he’s a straight D student, hilariously

this is of course ignoring all the lying, raping, treasoning, failed businesses, failed presidencies, and other wannabe con man shit.

but people will still vote for him, because people are stupid gullible suckers

it’s not complicated. “jewish” is not a race. simple

gotta love those pesky socially constructed rules and regulations…

really, it comes down to usage. science may not be able to pin down a “scientific” definition, and it absolutely is a construct–but isn’t everything that isn’t defined by a mathematical formula a “construct”?

so if we’re stuck with using terms like “race” whether they’re “real things” or not, then i think it’s important to distinguish how they’re used. i will not agree that “jewish” is a race in the same way that “african american” is a race, because although both groups face oppression, one of them is a choice, and the other isn’t

though it has to be said, that according to judaism, if your mother is a jew, then you are too, whether you want to be or not. i call bullshit on that

hi @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world !

so…if you condemn scientology, then you’re a racist?

thank you, this is what i was getting at

in what context is jewish a race?

you can convert to judaism and literally become jewish, even though you weren’t born into a jewish family. setting aside all the shit going on in politics right now, you cannot “decide” to become a different race

The short answer is no — Jews are not a race.

There’s plenty of non-religious people who identify as Jewish, yes.

right. but the question was: according to secular jews, “Jewish” = “race”?
