and i need your help. i have no idea how America looks at northeasterners since I grew up in yonkers which had a significant Jewish population around Greystone. I went to Emerson JHS which is in the middle of Greystone and and i never encountered a singe Jewish guy.

I now live in GA and I have lived In Denver, SF and many cities in America and I have never ever heard one single disparaging remark about New Yorkers and Jewish people with the exception of ted Cruz.

I'm sure your life experiences are the same as mine.

When Ted Cruz says "New York value" it is a broadside attack on "jews" because as you know the Jewish culture is the predominant culture of New York city.
