The vast majority of American jews are Ashkenazi. Come on, we know this--most of the Sephardim are in the Middle East, and even they are often discriminated against by the Ashkenazi--the stories my Iranian Jewish descent friends can tell you about visiting Israel...

Whataboutism at its finest.

That’s a ridiculous take and you know it. Or, well, you should. 

Gottdamn.

Eh, it’s more the transplants that think that’s just how things are done here.

Those “sandwiches” are bullshit. Cut your bread all the way through.

No they won’t.
