also re the object level content 1. They're on the 4 train, makes me think Crown Heights, which has a deep history of black/hassidic Jewish conflict (see: the Crown Heights riots). 2. "Is Judaism a race?" is an open question as far as I'm concerned.

Yep; the woman in this anecdote is/was orthodox Jewish. There’s a very weird and convoluted history of racial conflict there, which is also increasingly bound up with the ways in which national politics comes more and more to resemble NYC politics.https://mobile.twitter.com/TheAgeofShoddy/status/1105662053367275521 …

fwiw he is a very calm, friendly, and happy fellow who probably get screamed at like this by other Jews in Brooklyn, too, because they sense his southwestern spirit and wish to assimilate him into the rusty hellscape and consume his life force
