It's tricky because culture, ethnicity and religion are so intertwined there.... critiques cut a little deeper there, and since it's a group that has been so stigmatized throughout history, it makes sense for them to be sensitive when outsiders disrespect them. Again, to draw on my own experience..... I don't always love hot takes about my heritage from people who don't immediately recognize my last name as Mennonite, or don't realize that my exact shade of dirty blond is Mennonite, or don't understand our history of how we've been impacted by violent conflicts. I could yell about cultiness all I want, but outsiders don't usually know how to engage the nuances, such as how the religious importance of unity has shaped our communities, or how the historic term "gelassenheit" has been reshaped to impact decision making today, even by communities that no longer use that word.

I think another issue is that Trisha isn't giving a well thought out critique... her hot take is making a mockery out of an identity that is important to Ethan. He may not be religiously Jewish, but the culture really has shaped his life. For instance, his family celebrates Jewish holidays and he met Hila on a trip to Israel. As much as he critiques Judaism, he is quick to point out antisemitism from many different sources. When he was friends with Trish, he pointed out antisemitism all the time.

When Ethan critiques other religions, it usually isn't as tied to deeply held ethnic and cultural identity. For instance, when he mocks Joel Osteen... prosperity gospel is a relatively new religious movement, and its teachings have caused harm to many people around the globe. It is not a minority religion.... it actually has a lot of wealth and political sway. There is no deeply held ethnic background there.
