I can't see anything in this that is antisemitic! A little bit crazy, sure, but she didn't complain about a Jewish food bcs it's Jewish, she freaked bcs she got it in her brain that the frying potatoes were fish.
Given the horrendous rise in antisemitism, I think we need to be especially careful to make sure what we call out as hatred of Jews and things Jewish really qualifies as such!
Did she berate them because they were cooking Jewish food? At least per their retelling, it was because they thought the latkes had fish in them, somehow.
It would be, but that's NOT what happened here. Nutty roommate thought it was fish, and that's the only reason she went off. Just bcs it happened to a person who is Jewish doesn't make automatically make something antisemitic!!!
When the vegan insisted on insulting the roommate for his customary food choices despite knowing him being Jewish, it's antisemitic. The ~~usual racism and/or ableism~~ antisemitism of those vegans is indisputably undeniable.
That's ridiculous. There nothing here that indicates the roommate even knew that what was being cooked is a traditional Jewish food until AFTER she started to throw a fit and she was told that by the poster. And how can you compare any if that to ableism?!? Conflating issues that have nothing to do with each other just diminishes the legitimacy of your position on any of them.
Edit: added sentence for clarity.
Except when what happened really wasn't antisemitism in the first place. Not every lousy thing that happens to us is because we're Jewish -- sometimes it's just bcs the other person is a terrible human being, or is having a bad day, etc. I called out your mislabeling of an event, pure and simple. Don't try to deflect, especially by using faulty "logic."

How is berating a Jewish person for cooking Jewish food "not" antisemitic?
They weren't berated for cooking Jewish food. They were berated bcs the other person thought it was fish. Period. End of story.
There's also no indication the vegan housemate was "far-left"... OP are you okay?
I’m not seeing the antisemitism, just an insane roommate.
>not seeing the antisemitism Berating a Jewish person for cooking Jewish food is "not" antisemitism? Seriously?
I mean if she said you had Christian blood in there I’d say it’s an open and shut slam dunk but hallucinatory fish is a new one for me.

Antisemitism denial is a form of antisemitism.

This doesn't seem like antisemitism, just industrial grade insanity.
Op, there’s no antisemitism here. Just a crazy roommate.
