Orthodox Jews and confucian Chinese are both deeply conservative because those ideologies are deeply conservative. I chose them because most people wouldn't say such a hateful thing about those two groups since they're not what you typically imagine when someone says "conservative".
The juxtaposition of attaching the original writers hateful generalization with communities with a history of being oppressed and the statement that I will try to be more open minded is supposed to be ironic, like "I'll be more open minded in the future and remember that Orthodox Jews fear everything and hate everything"
Then you must not have been to New York, because that’s definitely known as a conservative, insular group.
A history of oppression does not negate one’s own. Or is a Jewish woman whose movements are controlled and constrained by the men in her community who say a pray of thanks that they were not born women not to be considered because her great aunts died in pogroms?
History is a guide. It is not a cosmic score.
So you do agree with the statement "Orthodox Jews fear everything and hate everything” then, and you stand by that.
That's fine.
