ACK-K-K-K-K-K-K-K!
VIDROY Here (October 2021), just under 22 minute kvetchfest on witches nose and costumes being anti semitic.
From her description of her vidroy: "Turns out, this harmless-seeming witch Halloween costume has a problematic history, and as a Jewish dress historian, I'm here to explain it."
Calm down. There there. Settle down, Ma'am.
Didn't watch the vidroy. Many comments/replies on the vidroy are of the nature, "thank you for sharing this information on how hurtful a witch costume can be." "Thank you for pointing out this nose trope." OY-REEEEE ! The comments are so similar it's like they're from the ten same posters using different accounts.
FFS - find something to do. Bring flowers to a retirement community. Volunteer for Meals on Wheels, a local food shelf or Feeding America. Ask a neighbor if they need help doing anything, if they say yes, help them...for free. Pick up litter around the neighborhood. I know, not as easy as kvetching all day at the keyboard whilst noshing Baklava.
Britannica: Semite defined isn't exclusive to Israelis, Jews, Hebrews.
Semite, name given in the 19th century to a member of any people who speak one of the Semitic languages[.]
[.]
[Semites include] Arabs, Akkadians, Canaanites, Hebrews, some Ethiopians (including the Amhara and the Tigrayans), and Aramaean tribes.
[.]
[...] there remains no archaeological or scientific evidence of a common Semitic people.
Wait! What's that last one? "no archaeological or scientific evidence of a common Semitic people."
Next on the kvetch list, paper clips in this shape. 🤣
