Ubiq, ever hear of “man on the street” examples of how people don’t know who Abraham Lincoln was, or who the president is, etc… they’re often taken at college campuses. While amusing, they’re not statistically representative of the majority of people.

A few years ago, an organization posted signs everywhere in boro park with heimishe people’s faces on them, captioned “och hub genadvant a nir”. I am not fluent in yiddish, so i asked a random guy on the street what a nir was, and he said a kidney.

Chasidim know what diabetes is, and they know what kidneys are. You may have met a handful of people with serious developmental disabilities or people similar to the college kids who don’t know who the president is.

It’s simply hateful. You’re misrepresenting your own brethren and you’re full of hate.
