To all those who are insulted in the name of the Yemenites or the Bukharans, about whom it is said that those who are insulted and do not insult hear their insult and do not respond and answer. I cannot help but feel that this is repeated over and over again.
Such insults make clear racist assumptions, in contrast to David Assaf’s irony, which has no racism at all.
After all, he is mocking the Yemenites’ focus on eating and smoking, while implicitly wondering why they don’t also dedicate a section to the thinking of Yemenite rabbis and thinkers and their intellectual and spiritual heritage. Isn’t that worthy of a joke? And if this were an Ashkenazi event focusing on cholent, wouldn’t we all be laughing? But the Ashkenazim are allowed because we expect them to behave at a high human and cultural level. But nothing should be expected from the Yemenites and the Bukharins (according to the offended). They are so primitive that they should be forgiven for focusing on eating and smoking, and not expected of them the expectations that are worthy of Ashkenazim.
By the way, the same goes for our leftist cousins who hesitate to demand proper behavior from the Palestinians, and even there in the name of concern for the dignity of the poor and disadvantaged Oriental and out of opposition to racism. When there too, it is blatant racism, because this racism leads them to believe that the Palestinians should not be required to behave like human beings.
Sorry for the outburst, but I’m a little tired of the politically correct insults, and the racists who bear the name of racism in vain and accuse those who don’t suffer from it.
