One of the best friends I have ever had was a Jewish grad student in a catholic college. He had served in Vietnam so he was about six years older.
He died in his early thirties, sadly. Humans are weird when it comes to discrimination. It is an attitude that had been susiding but I fear the opposite now that Trump is king. It is so troubling. Ignorance is not bliss it is the enemy.
