(101,610 posts)We still have Ralph Lauren ne Ralph Lifshitz (love that), Donna Karan, and Calvin Klein. I just wanted to add some levity.

My mom was Jewish, my dad wasn't. i consider myself a, an, an American and am not readily identifiable as Jewish whatever that means to people so I get to be undercover and hear a lot of anti-semitic statements. It's late now so I won't recount them all...
Some anti-semitism is just pathetic. I was recently riding the Orange Line from Woodland Hills to North Hollywood and the woman is on her so cell phone and tells the person on the other end as we drive through Studio City that she's in "Jewtown now". I now joke with my gf who is from the Philippines whenever we ride the Orange Line through Studio City that we're going through "Jewtown".
The canard that upsets me the most is the tribalism card; that we all get together and meet over a breakfast of lox and bagels to discuss how we are going to rule the world.
