Catholics talking about Jews

[frandroid]

I don't think I can not cringe ever when people, especially Catholics, talk about "the Jews." Even hearing Kate Mulgrew talk about "this extraordinary race" to Gates McFadden while bemoaning antisemitism, I'm like, hmmm...

I feel extraordinary!

It's mildly antisemitic in that it separates the Jews in a creepy pseudogenetic way. It just has a junky 'positive' spin, in that, I dunno, we're - what? Tough? The nazis made us tough. Toughened us up, I guess.

Apparently Jews are self-contained, too, whatever the fuck that means. I'm not surprised to hear Mulgrew say this (she's a hardcore pro-life Catholic and basically a closet homophobe) but McFadden is just your run-of-the-mill wishy-washy Catholic and you'd think she'd have an editor ask her to edit. They possibly thought it wasn't problematic because it was "positive"...
