Safe in taxis? Inspired by @78SoylentGreen's anti-Semitism experience with an Uber driver... AKA why the modern Left fails to understand Jew-hate.
So I'm quite old really, 40 *cough* something. And so been taking minicabs for 25yr or so, back since when London was WHITE. 1/9

And when I say WHITE, people forget that as late as 1991, less than 15% of London's population was born outside of Europe (although there would also be 1st gen-born Brits of Colour) but still: WHITE.
And what that meant is looking "foreign" was notable. 2/9

And almost every time I took a minicab...
Driver: "Where are you from?"
Me: "Enfield"
Driver: "But where are your parents from?"
Me: "Hackney"
Driver: "No, no, where are you *really* from?"
So clearly, I didn't seem like I was *from* England. 3/9

Most of the time, I would answer vaguely about Eastern Europe (partially true), mixed (true) and if I felt the person was sympathetic I might *admit* to being Jewish. And it felt like I was *admitting* it, because the response could be horrible. 4/9
Even 25-plus years ago, I was:
Accused of killing Jesus
Confronted about Israel/Palestine
Had comments made to me about how I was going to be a shit tipper
Had comments made about my nose/facial appearance 'pretty for a Jew'
Etc
But in recent years it's become far far worse. 5/9

As London has become less WHITE, I get asked less, but it still happens a lot. But I stopped ever answering the question truthfully as I've been:
Chucked out the taxi on the road
Abused about Israel/Palestine
Ranted at about Jews controlling the world
Physically threatened 6/9

And yet the 'social justice' Left insists that I and other Jews are merely 'white'. That the hate crimes against us are against religion alone or liberals or due to *our* ideology or behaviour. Even as those drivers clocked me as *something* 'Other' and attacked me for it 7/9
This is why Jews are so scared of modern Left anti-Semitism. Because the Left simply refuses to acknowledge that anti-Semitism can cross all races, ethnicities, ideologies, religions, social status - as it did with those drivers, who were of all backgrounds. 8/9
That's why Labour's whatsapperati of Jones, Bastani, Sarkar, O'Hagan et al are so terrifying, ditto US Farrakhan-excusing progressives from the Women's March. Jews are just 'white' they say, so privileged, so rich, so safe...
Even though I can't admit I'm a Jew in taxis. 9/9
