    There's something so condescending and arrogant in the assumption that a Somali-American refugee has to understand the convoluted "tropes" that offend these successful, mainstream, influential people, but they have no obligation to "understand" her perfectly valid viewpoint

        Yes, that is the burden of being an immigrant - to assimilate, and not be sticking like a sore thumb, demanding American citizens to accommodate you.

        She's not demanding any accommodation, she's airing a political viewpoint that sensitive snowflakes are triggered by.

        You can't wake up a person acting to be asleep. So called influential people are undermining a representation from a minority community. Most structured and thought out statements from @IlhanMN against AIPAC would have started the same outrage. There is no space for nuance here

        At what point does a demonstrated history of anti-Semitic statements become part of your equation? MN state legislators had a sit down with Omar two years ago to talk about her history of off-putting statements, not related to AIPAC at all. Look it up.

        Nobody in America knows what these "tropes" actually are. You have to actually be from medieval times to know about them.

        It is a perfectly valid phrase to describe a perfectly valid viewpoint. AIPAC pays off politicians to keep their mouth shut re: Israeli atrocities. "Muh anti-Semitism" doesn't work anymore.

        Of course they don’t. She’s not a precious white lady so no need to protect her. And besides, she’s a Muslim so of course that makes her wrong by default.

        Much more than wrong by default. An official state enemy.

        Uh... she was elected to Congress in America, not Somalia. She no doubt represents some people who are Jewish. You don't think she has a responsibility to understand what she's saying and how it could be hurtful?
