NFL's Zach Banner calls to embrace Jewish community after anti-Semitism uproar

Steelers tackle says Jews 'are a minority as well,' recounts 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, after Philadelphia player posts anti-Jewish quotes online

Banner is an honorable, and wise, man. I wish there were more people like him. How do the majority of Americans not undertand his points, all of which used to be common knowledge? Except among bigots. Their ignorance is now the norm.

“There’s a common misbelief that among Black and Brown people — and I know this from growing up and I’ve heard it and I’ve listened to it — that Jewish people are just like any other white race,” Banner said. “You mix them up with the rest of the majority and you don’t understand that they are a minority as well.”
