It takes horrendous events to make people really look at other people
Do you suppose if some extremist Jews started blowing up hotels and resort areas, skyscraper business buildings and so forth, that suddenly people would become cognizant of things that might offend them?
It is amazing to me that most people seem oblivious to the fact that Jews don't eat pork or pork products. It offends me that groceries put out filet mignons wrapped in bacon and none without and put other meat products right next to the pork where the two might touch each other. And I'm not even Jewish.
