It would be interesting to test with other groups of people. For example, when happens if all my review says is "I don't like jews" or "I don't like Americans/Russians/Chinese people".
Wouldn't a more comparable test be "I don't like Christians" or "I don't like vegans"? If they say Jews it's often racist, not about their personal beliefs.
"Muslims" is often used in a racist way to mean brown people, not just refer to a religious group. "Jews" is used in the same way, to refer to an ethnic group as often as a religion.
The two are used by racists in almost the exact same way. "Christians" are mainly white, so racists dont often attack them at all, especailly since a large contingent of the racists are christian.
Is that a US thing? I've never seen that use in Europe (yet?)
You've never seen "Jews" used to refer to the ethnic group... in europe?
I think they're talking about referring to Muslims as an ethnic group. Jews does literally mean either the religion or the ethnic group.
I should've been more specific that I was talking about Muslims
So long as you're equal opportunity with your hate it's good to go.
The "Chinese" one, I'm seeing it more and more from western reviewers.
