Is antisemitism, racism, prejudice OK?
I am having an interesting issue to ponder. Maybe you can ponder with me?
The guy whose writing I am so taken with, his books, the Hungarian guy, according to my muscle test has a prejudice against Jews.
In common parlance, he is antisemitic.
Nothing special there, a full 30% of the developed countries" population is antisemitic and 70% of the Hungarian population. 1.4% of Hungary"s population is Jewish. A total of about 140,000 people. Before the Holocaust the number was 900,000. 14.31 million worldwide, or 0.2 percent. Or two people in every thousand people.
If you are part of a minority against whom there can be or are negative prejudices, a Jew, Black, Moslem, Indian, Chinese... you"ll have this issue as a daily, in the background and maybe even in the foreground conversation.
