well i for one don't fetishize my ethnicity and i'm in this subreddit because i've enjoyed watching destiny's streams for years. cringing when a member of a group you belong to does something dumb is just being human it's not "fetishizing"
It's absolutely fetishizing. Not in the sexual sense; in the dotty & obsessive sense. If you have a notion about how a certain ethnicity ought behave, and you delight when they match it and cringe when they deviate, that is fetishistic.
The fetishistic part isn't in cringing about "your group," it's in defining "your group" ethnically. It's the attributing of expectations to strangers because of their bloodline.
no it's just tribalism, it has inherently nothing to do with fetishizing an ethnicity because of their "bloodline". there are also converts to judaism so even in this specific instance it isn't about their "bloodline" more so just "you and me belong to this group so if you act weird it reflects on all of us".
it's not weird at all and actually makes perfect sense to think that way when you're a member of a group that has been historically mistreated.
It might not be about bloodline for a convert. Brad is not a convert. He's a Jew through matrilineal descent aka ethnically Jewish aka Jewish "by blood". He's pretty obviously not a part of Jewish culture (considering he calls himself "half-Jewish"). The only reason to think he reflects badly upon you cuz you're Jewish is if you think there's some standard of "Jewish behavior" that gets passed by blood.
So, yes it is weird. Doesn't matter if you're part of a "historically mistreated" group or whatever bullshit. It's dumb to think black people should prioritize "shopping black." It's dumb to think Mexicans should love spicy food. It's dumb be especially bothered when a Jew "acts cringe" and bend like a twig to social pressure. If you're not fetishizing Jewishness, you'll feel the same about somebody acting a pussy, whether they're gentile or Jew.
The only reason to think he reflects badly upon you cuz you're Jewish is if you think there's some standard of "Jewish behavior" that gets passed by blood
or, you know, upbringing...
the other things you mentioned have nothing to do with what i said, and i don't feel like explaining something this obvious any further so cya
Thank you for replying to this lol, I did not have enough energy to get into it with him.
