[butchfeygela]

people really love to take words coined about jewish experiences, use them to rightly discuss their own marginalized circumstances and then tell jews we cant use the words anymore

#this is mostly about diaspora bu t there are others qs well #nikanie #saw a post fairly asking nonblack people to stop using the word ghetto which i understod to be about its misuse & use as a racialized insult #and someone in the notes put in scare quotes 'but what about the askenazi jews' #as if ghetto wasnt first used to describe the ways jews were segregated from society as far back at the 1500s #just like people say 'white cis gay' as q cover for just random homophobia adding Ashkenazi to jew as a cover for antisemitism bc whiteness #is fucked up!!! like especially cuz there are Black Ashkenazi jews and other Ashkenazi joc #as if ashkenazi jews werent put into ghettos and slaughtered en mass less than a century ago
