Any story or comment about Jews coming up with a clever way of making money feels anti-semitic to me.

Perhaps you weren't aware that the reason Jews have for a long time been so engaged in commerce is that long ago they got kicked out of their homeland and so many of them weren't able to support themselves any longer with their traditional occupations of farming and herding. So it is not that there is something greedy about Jews, they are just, like everyone, trying to survive.

I'm aware that. I'm saying the article feels like a trope or playing to a stereotype. Maybe I should read the Buzzfeed article, which someone mentioned displayed more sensitivity.

maybe because you're projecting? it's a local culture piece (it's in the ny region section). for better or worse the hasids are large component of ny culture.

Projecting? Have you spent any time on 4chan?
