ZD:
Yes, but Rav Yoseph doesn’t posken the way he does on this matter because he’s worried about offending sensitive, American liberals. If we poskened by political correctness, then the whole halachah of yayin nesech, bishul akum, and many other things would be thrown out as “racist.” The Rabbanut has their shittah and the Eidah has their’s.
How we feel about a major Rabbi trying to discredit a legitimate alternate shittah in halachah with accusations of racism we should probably keep to ourselves. It’s fine to pull R. Yoseph as your source; I admire that you aren’t trying to posken for yourself as so many others in the CR, but if you posken like that, then what do you care if Barkan loses the Chareidi hechsher? It wouldn’t affect you. I won’t affect me either because Barkan is far too dry…
