What difference does it make for your position whether Carano's posts were genuinely anti-Semitic? Is it ok to fire an anti-Semite? Why?

I think it's fine for studios to fire people who publicly express blatantly racist views, but these remarks were nowhere close to the high bar I would set.

I mean, you see the frustration people have with this whole discourse, right? There's appeal to putative general principles, but when you prick them just a little bit, people fall back on, "well a liberal decision is a decision that I Jonathan Chait would make given my own views"

This is why our free speech regime actually protects anti-Semites! Because you can't trust people to apply putative principles rigorously and consistently!

My view is that an employer like a studio should follow a less rigorous free speech standard than the government.

It's a high bar. Something like Omar's Benjamin comments, which I consider anti-Semitic, are high enough to merit criticism, IMO, but also wouldn't be enough to justify blacklisting her.

Wait, you think quoting a very famous line from a rap lyric in a bad context is worse than this Der Sturmer image? Really? Especially after Omar apologizes while Cara no keeps the image posted?

Who knows what he really thinks. He clearly wasn’t aware of this specific image when he wrote his post. But he’s Jon Chait so he’ll ruthlessly defend his initial judgment in the face of evolving evidence. Whatever he really thinks, this is what he officially thinks now.
