I'm so bored of people pretending that using a stereotype is only bigoted if it's explicitly applied to all members of a marginalized group. "I didn't say all Jews are greedy whiny emasculated parasites who control the government with their money, I just said Zionists are." Guys.
itâs an obvious cop-out because that has never actually functionally been the way these tropes worked.
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion doesnât say âevery single Jew is in the Shadowy Cabal That Controls the Worldâ, just that there is a shadowy Jewish-Zionist âJewish Supremacistâ cabal that runs the world.
OG Medieval Blood Libel didnât need to claim literally every Jew alive directly participated in murdering whatever Christian child had gone missing to get people to pogrom Jews; they just needed to claim the rabbis of the specific nearest Jewish community did.
The Doctorâs Plot libel didnât need to be directed at all Jews or even only Jewish doctors to create a pretext for the planned anti-Jewish purges.
Antisemitic rhetoric does not need to claim all Jews are guilty, just that prominent examples of Jews are, or any Jew could be, and the publicâs suspicions & propensity to treat others as guilty-until-proven innocent will do the rest of the work.
