I am speaking of my own experience and my own observations. I will repeat what I have written in other threads, Jews do not need to be schooled in identifying antisemitism. Very often the same people who want to lecture Jews on antisemitism, who are dismissive of when Jews assert something is antisemitic, would never consider telling other groups of marginalized or minority communities what is and what is not bigotry.
