Kanye is complaining about being uncomfortable with music producers based upon their being Jewish and saying he’s ”death con 5 (sic) on Jews”.

Kanye’s not discussing ultra orthodox habits or genital mutilation or any other aspect of religion. From what we’ve seen, nobody was discussing religion, it’s just racism.

The misconception about Jews controlling money has everything to do with the religious teachings, and nothing to do with their origin.
It's a result of antisemitism - Jews weren't allowed to participate in most trades (or have building on streets for example, like here in London), so money lending was one of the few roles available. I've never heard religious teaching barring Jewish people from other trades.
And people that think Christians are lying hypocrites are anti-Christian. I'm not sure why people want the word antisemitism to have special treatment vs disdain for any other religion.
Yes but Christianity isn’t a race and Kanye wasn’t discussing religious law as mentioned in the other thread.
