As an Ashkenazi Jew myself, saying “we’d like to make everyone like Ashkenazi Jews” feels just like a mirror image of Nazism that very clearly should not appear on the forum
I’m not making any claims either way about that. I’m just pointing out (contra Matthew) that it is clearly not “irrelevant spam”. Your objections are substantive, not procedural. Folks who want to censor views they find offensive should be honest about what they’re doing, not pretend that they’re just filtering out viagra ads.
I think it is irrelevant, and in every context where I’ve seen it presented as ‘on topic’ in EA, the connection between it and any positive impact was simplistic to the point of being imaginary, while at the same time promoting dangerous views—just like in the post you quoted.
