Hoo boy, another book I gotta read. Thanks a lot! FWIW, I come to the table with yet another slant. I'm an adult, white American male (through no fault of my own - I really didn't do it on purpose), so I have the various ascribed statuses associated with all that. I think and hope that I have significantly less than usual of the pre-judgements also associated, but that's not entirely for me to say. At the same time — I'm Jewish. I'm a Jew. Did you know that even the Zoroastrians (fifteen hundred years ago or something) persecuted the Jews? And European history has episode after episode like
The Massacre (http://ddickerson.igc.org/cliffords-tower.html)
of York (http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/york.html). I've been asked "What's your nationality" by someone really asking if I'm Jewish.
I don't yet have any firm conclusions where I go on this map . . .
