My small town in California had really low levels of anti-Semitism, which is why the incidents I experienced stood out to me, unlike where I lived in New Mexico, which was intensely anti-Semitic, and very frightening. In California, everybody thought my family was Jewish, but almost no one cared. My California town was ableist as fuck, though, which is why I never ever want to go back.
I had an professor in college once who believed ethnicity is fluid and completely changeable.
I guess that's true, in the same way molasses is fluid. It's also sticky.
