I'm getting so much inbound about this allegedly* anti-Semitic Clubhouse room last night (I was there as a listener), I think it might be time for an impromptu Pull Request piece. *I'm using this somewhat ironically to imitate journalists. The convo did have anti-Semitic bits.

Short answer: yes, but not to great effect. The longer answer requires some context. The room was titled "Anti-Semitism & Black Culture." Everyone who spoke seemed to identify as either black or Jewish; fewer of the latter. Firm pushback was met with a request to "hold space."
Not all of the discussion was awful, but a few people were making some very stereotypical claims about Jews that certainly seemed malicious to me, and the Jews who spoke defensively seemed to often get roughly the same treatment as the people making those claims. "Hold space!"

That was my feeling as well. The Nuremberg Rally it wasn't. But some pretty basic Jewish stereotypes got trotted out and used as talking points. I should probably save my reacts for a post. This isn't the best forum for nuance.
