Patrons Only: Destroying A Palestinian-American Small Business, To Fight Racism
In today's patrons-only episode, Jesse tells Katie about a disturbing outrage campaign in Minneapolis centered on Holy Land, a purveyor of Middle Eastern food that is being torpedoed because the daughter of the owner (who himself sounds like a mensch) posted some racist stuff on social media when she was in her teens. Does this accomplish anything? What need is it fulfilling in the people participating in this pileon? Katie returns the favor with a story about a Jewish deli owned by the descendant of a Holocaust survivor that experienced its own outrage campaign for being... insufficiently anti-Nazi. Strange times!
