With arms that small?

And, I am being serious.

A face only a mother with very poor eyesight could love.

He responded to the university's newspaper, the Cornell Sun. https://www.cornellsun.com/article/2026/06/student-writes-not-interested-in-working-for-a-jew-on-handshake-cornell-reports-bias-incident

What an odd thing to say. Feels ideologically conditional.

Jews, Muslims, Trans, etc etc etc. we need to discuss policies that are making racism an acceptable behavior. We need a movement ala the extraordinary support of anti immigration racists in Belfast. Giving this one guy attention does nothing to support anyone or anything. My opinion obviously but as a Jew, this guy offends me but I’ve got bigger fish to fry sotospeak. And it disturbs me to discuss one asshole when there are policies and positions and a failure of politicians speaking out about what we need to do to stop this behavior.

Surely some must come to mind. And because I do think there's an ideological component, could you limit this list you obviously have to targets who were not Jewish?

What racist incidents in the past, say, year have you also felt we needed to ignore?

As a gay man, if someone told me I was paying too much attention to a homophobic incident where the bigot then doubled down in a newspaper, I'd be giving that person the dirtiest of side-eyes.

And as a gay man, I'll just note. The "As an X . . ." construction isn't as useful as surmised.

I've been around Log Cabin Republicans my entire life. Ideology has a way of getting people to elide over bigotry against groups they claim identity with.

So I see, "As an X, we shouldn't worry about bigotry against X . . ." my brain's just going, "Oh. So . . . Log Cabin Republican. Got it."

It's just not that cute a cover when running interference for bigots.

from a story in the NY Post of all papers that is going to help us against bigotry towards any group. And I at no time said or even implied I was not concerned about the tide of hatred towards any group. This story and this POS person is shameful as I already said. But I also said I prefer working against this systemic intolerance and less time being outraged that this POS did this.

And I also said YMMV. So you are certainly able to express your outrage on this message board against this individual. I don’t have to defend to you my right to not want to give either the NYPost or this particular individual attention Im sure he is loving. His life will be challenged by his decisions. My life is better used on constructive initiatives.

Now have a good night.

If that explanation did not always cut against one specific group when convenient.

The human brain sees patterns, and I've noticed one.

I'm not going to pretend I don't. We don't all wake up every day to a clean slate where no one remembers what was said yesterday. And after several years of this pattern, I'm going to go, "Oh, we're still doing this?"

And if you weren't aware of that pattern, hey. Friendly FYI - there's a history of this pattern only being directed at one ethnic group.

See my post downthread, as well as the post noting that he's raised $11,000 from supporters already.

This kid is saying this shit because he thinks a lot of people agree with him. He thinks his views are mainstream. That alone is a good reason for those of us who don't agree with him to speak up.

he’s raised money because of the very attention he shouldn’t be getting.

That there’s lots of people who agree with him is again my point. There’s a systemic hatred of people gaining hold in this country and that needs to be addressed in a real way. Speak up against antisemitism. Speak up against Islamaphobes. Speak up against anti trans people. How are you doing that? Go to protests. Write letters. Join organizations. Speak to your congresspeople. Volunteer to aid migrants being targeted by ICE. My only point was HE should be ignored. Not hatred.

I disagree.

Americans in the 1960s were appalled to see images of firehoses and dogs turned on peaceful Black people dressed in their Sunday clothes.

We were appalled to see George Floyd suffocated to death by a cop while onlookers screamed that he was dying.

And you yourself use this technique often on DU. How many times have you posted about things Israel is doing?

People respond to incidents, not vague protests.

Antisemitism. I said I didn’t think this POS deserves attention and the more he gets the more he is the winner in the dialogue.

What this has to do with George Floyd is beyond my reasoning.

My technique re Israel? WTF? I tried to give a perspective of Israel from a piece of Israeli citizens that doesn’t get much attention. But it became apparent that a portion of DU had no interest or deliberately or inadvertently misunderstands and it was too painful to continue so I simply stopped.

But again I have no idea what this has to do with a post that simply said this person is a POS and not deserving of attention. I apologize. He’s a POS and deserves nothing but attention. I GIVE UP. Please continue talking about it anonymously on a message board. Let’s do a group pat on our backs for it!

Why don't you go wash your hair. You'll feel better.

That ain’t drama. Just a great big sigh that the art of discussion is apparently dead for some people and misunderstanding and lack of actual comprehension is easier in order to trivialize another’s point of view. “Wash my hair? I’ll feel better”. Jeez. I feel fine. I don’t jump into threads to lecture people. I rarely respond to anyone’s individual post unless they feel the need to comment directly to me. That a post of about 5 words should garner your attention is quite interesting.

But certainly - No drama. Just a hope to end what was the gerbil wheel. And rudeness is still rudeness. Even if you post a smilie!

Peace out.

is just a punk ass and doesn’t deserve to be elevated by treating him like he matters.

It’s as simple as that.

He’s too young to even know the history, so it’s his desire for clicks and likes on his social platforms, ala the Joe Rogan types. That’s the pattern. Say ridiculous things for attention. The poster admonishing you about “patterns” actually missed the pattern. No surprise there.

But thanks!

Plato-esque hullabaloo that totally misses the relevant context. So I recognize it when I see it.

Cheers!

Running cover for Nazis? Post history exists? Be generally pro Palestinian but ignore actual instances of racism etc? WTF and please stop.

Boo? Personal beef? Grrrrrl?

Im exhausted just trying to read through the nonsense you attribute to me.

I can’t imagine engaging or explaining this any more. Talk amongst yourselves. Thanks.

Are they?

chanting Genocide/Killer/Butcher (whatever terrorist establishment headquarters decides rhymes best; talking points, posters, protest signs, T-shirts, tents included) while wearing the cool scarf he borrowed from his sister.

Yikes, just so awful.

I hope future job interviewers tell him he lost the job due his history of being an antisemitic little prick.

Once a bigot....?

He's a kid. No way should his whole life be ruined.

So many lives have been ruined by doxxing. Just ask student protesters and others supporting Palestinian rights.

"He probably knows nothing about Jews accept for what they tell him in college and on social media."

Oh, he thinks Cornell is teaching students that Jews are evil?

And he felt extremely comfortable elaborating on his sentiments to the school paper. So he must feel like there's something about that academic environment where such thoughts are acceptable for an airing.

to try and offer this guy a chance for an interview. So he sounds really nice.

If he was smart, he just would decline. Instead he decided to get a metaphorical billboard to announce to the world that he's a racist. Any future employer who searches the guy will run into this story and find a reason to not hire this walking lawsuit risk.

If racists were smarter, they would be subtle not loud.

To me that's the main takeaway. I don't think he's dumb. I don't think he feels courageous, as if he were taking an unpopular stand.

He acts like somebody who thinks his beliefs are acceptable, even mainstream.

He certainly didn't try to hide his views.

While there's obviously been a rise in antisemitism, when you get featured in the New York Post for it, that's not the good type of publicity. How many companies are going to look to hire someone who is overtly this dumb when people just graduating college is higher than the overall average and employment in general is pretty stuck right now.

It's certain that saying hateful things about Jewish people is acceptable and even praised in some circles nowadays. He might find a home in a right-wing environment or as a commentator.

The left-wing groups that hate Jews probably won't touch him. He failed to connect his bigotry to Israel, which is today's clever way to white wash bigotry.

It's likely though, that he's going to discover a hard truth, which is that if you're clever and ruthless and charismatic enough you can make a successful career out of being a bigot, but most people don't make the cut and just end up in disgrace.

Methinks he needs to study harder. He hasn't learned much so far.

What are they teaching at Cornell these days?

Insult someone with your Bigotry, Franco.

Have fun with your stupid, dirty "money".

I mean it's one thing to be doxxed - which he surely deserves - but another to double down on line.

I assume he has a trust fund because getting a job is going to be problematic for the rest of his life, although if Magat types stay in power he could probably get a job in the orange Pedophile’s cabinet.

Not to mention his studies are in industrial and labor relations. One would think those fields require excellent people skills, which he just demonstrated he does not have.

As he likely has made getting getting future internships, jobs etc much harder, I hope he enjoyed the initial rush of attention. It seems he already whining about the consequences, ignoring that he was the one who outed himself as a bigot. I can't believe he then thought it a good idea to talk to the campus newspaper.

He reportedly had several prestigious academic accomplishments before his sophomore year at Cornell.

He may figure that if Stephen Miller and Elon Musk can have powerful positions, he can too.

to think he can act this way without consequence. It could also be that while very intelligent, he is very bad on interpersonal skills.

It makes it easier for folks to avoid such people.
