From our about page (written by Joseph) bolded for emphasis: "The inspiration for this blog came about from an antisemitic post during late October of 2014, where a supposed social justice blog, in response to Jewish outrage over a costume company selling a Halloween costume based on Jewish stereotypes, stated that we Jews would manage to get the costume removed from sale, using our “Jewish privilege”, and then doubled down on their statement when a Jewish blogger, littlegoythings, called them out on their antisemitism.  This proceeded to unleash a wave of sarcastic posts on littlegoythings’ inbox from Jews, framing the antisemitism that we all experience as a daily part of our lives as how we are “privileged” to experience such hate and prejudice as a fact of our existence.  Joseph was inspired by the outpouring and created this blog soon after, which has set the tone from the beginning.  This is what it means to be a Jew—to experience hate, prejudice and genocide, and to have people insist that we are somehow privileged to endure so. “
