OK then. Forget the sign. The black guy (lets assume he's 100% non-Jewish in any way) is wearing a kippah.
Do you think he wouldn't be stopped?
Their problem with the guy was that he was 'openly Jewish', not the color of his skin. If a non-Jew dressed up as a Jew the police stopping him for being 'openly Jewish' or not would I think be decided by how convincingly it was done. I don't think they would tell a guy with a kippah who they don't think is actually Jewish that he was 'openly Jewish', they may in that case think instead that it's some kind of "blackface" situation, which may or may not make them stop him for that. My guess is that the police would be less likely to consider Jewish a guy who looks say East Asian or Black, nevermind that Jews come in all colors.
Quote from: Tamas on April 26, 2024, 03:31:01 AMThe Guardian felt necessary to explain what appears to be the dubious political motivations behind the organisation doing the "you are too visibly Jewish with that kippa" thing at one of the so-called Pro-Palestinian marches:I've ended up with a painfully nuanced take on this have seen the videos emerge over tie and so on.

More importantly they felt that by giving more context via the longer-length video to the incident with the police officer, they shed a different light on it:QuoteA longer version of the clip released later shows the officer explaining to Falter that his approach was informed by the knowledge he had already deliberately walked out into the middle of the march and was therefore "looking to try and antagonise this".
John Mann, the government's antisemitism tsar, said Falter had been "quite explicit" about his intentions at the protest. "There's no ambiguity in what he's doing," he told the BBC, saying he had been blocked by the CAA on the social media platform X and they were "not playing it straight".
Well, excuse me, sure he was trying to provoke a negative response to his Jewish identity but if he managed to do that, that would have revealed the true nature of the protest. If it was a "pro-Palestine" and not, in fact, an anti-Jewish march, then a Jewish man among the protesters -even without some protest sign making clear the side he is on- surely would had provoked no incident?
What has been revealed, as the bare minimum, is that the authorities considered that an anti-semitic march. Whether they were right or wrong they did not give that guy a chance to find out.
Quote from: Sheilbh on April 26, 2024, 07:48:32 AMJust discovered there's a mini-chain of Uyghur restaurants (one in Leicester, one in London) that is engaged in some incredible historical, international trolling of Italians.
All their dishes have Italian names, which is where they initially came from on the Silk Road. So noodles are "Original linguine" and polo (like plov or pilaf) is "Original risotto"
I can only hope the Italians mad at food discover it at some point.
