Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I was born and raised in LA and have many Jewish friends I grew up with. I don't know of a problem here like that. The man next door moved in 2 yrs ago and I said, Oh I see your license plate is from Washington and I introduced myself and said hope you like living here and all there is to do and see. His reply to me was, I hate this city and state, and California natives should fall off the earth. Can you believe that? I was born in Hollywood and my Dad was born here in LA also. I simply replied, well you are talking to a 2nd generation native and maybe you shouldn't be here taking a job or home in this state that someone else would appreciate. He didn't say a word and says hello when he sees me but he must be miserable inside, because he never talks to anyone around here and we all get along and help one another when needed on this block...........Have a nice friday, Donna melissa_hopp <hoppmel wrote: I've started being attacked for being Jewish too and I'm not > even Jewish yet! Being Jewish is far tougher than being veggie. I find people just roll their eyes or assume I'm nuts being veggie...kind of like a pathetic person (my brother sometimes jokingly calls me a " commie " among other things). However, the reaction to my being Jewish can be as strong as hatred...I'm pretty sure even stronger in some folk. m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
