I watched an interesting exchange today. I was reading a Steem Post from a well known and respected Steem Author. In the comment section, I noticed another account accusing the OP of using antisemitic pictures and demanded that the OP remove the picture.
I went back through the post and I couldn't find anything that seemed antisemitic at all. I admit I am not always the most sensitive to such issues, so I asked THE OFFENDED ONE to please help educate me about what was antisemitic. (I don't always know)
The offended one responded with an entire article about all the things a person could say or do to offend a "Jewish Person". Wow, it was quite a list and even still I could not find any problems or reference to anything racist at all in the post.
Later the one who was offended apologized and said a picture looked like a Jewish person to him/her. (so even if it had been, is it now racist to show a picture of someone who looks Jewish?)
Wow! Really?
I know I am not the most sensitive person in the world to these issues, but who goes around looking to be offended to the point they read into things that had no racist intent at all.
I've never been a huge fan of the PC culture, but it is so over the top now...
